  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    IJWTS Thread (58)

    IJWTS that I leave this place for only 7 years and find my favorite thread is dead. Sad.

    memorialize a long gone poster

    Gosh, I check in to see my messages and find out you all are conducting a funeral for all the memorable past members. Thanks for listing me Paul. My three years on CF are very good memories (mostly) and I miss hanging out with the old group also.

    What's on your mind? (53)

    I'm young and crotchety :D Seriously though, some of us have jobs that require us to get up at 5:45am to go to work and we need our sleep! Obnoxious fireworks and loud parties are what send me into buy-red-ants-and-shove-them-down-shirts rage.

    Christian Flag

    I equate it with the American flag. Some people have a hang up for a piece of cloth and like to show it respect and honor it with a weird cultish chant. I have no interest in any flag. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Christian or USA flag as a picnic blanket. My church still uses one during...

    What's on your mind? (53)

    I hate the 4th of July. Its my least favorite holiday. But because of all the rain, there will probably be no fireworks and when I heard that, I got excited. FINALLY get to skip the annual obnoxious-booms-keeping-me-awake-all-night event.

    You kids and your music...

    I totally read the thread title as "Your kids and your music" and assumed it would be a discussion about if we would let our kids listen to what we listen to :doh: With my ears... I listen to about six different radio stations a lot. While driving, at work, cooking, etc. I also have my...

    "Birds of a feather flock together." True words. Or how I would put it "crazy is drawn to crazy" :ahah:

    Are you a city person or a country person?

    I grew up on the edges of ghetto life in Michigan and moved to a TINY town in Louisiana at 18 for a couple years. That was hell on earth for me. I loathed everything about living in a small place. Now I live out in the country in Georgia but I'm close enough to a "big" city and all the...

    No Children, good plan?

    I agree with Donna. Marriage itself is not romantic or a fairy tale. If you have that mindset when you take the plunge then you are in for a very rude shock. This is why so many marriages are ending after only a few years- the hype and idealistic expectations you placed on your marriage...

    Denominations

    I'm anti-denominational myself but I attend a Southern Baptist church. I think the SBC has a lot of good, solid doctrine and a God honoring future focus but what I hate is their "close the ranks, let no outsiders in" mentality. Its very much a mindset that if you don't bleed SBC then you aren't...

    The NSA Debacle

    I'm more surprised by the surprise of the general public. How can any sane person not assume that our government is gathering all the data it can? Knowledge is power. Power is what governments care about. I mean, we have a freakin' huge military and trillions get spent on developing...

    No Children, good plan?

    My parents have completely taken care of my 93 year old grandmother for 15+ years while living on one income, raised 6 kids and are very involved with their 3 grandkids. Your math is based out of fear, not out of wisdom or common sense. Stop stressing. It will only age you quicker ;) I...

    What's on your mind? (52)

    Just more proof that you can't outlaw sin. At least now maybe it will finally shut-up all those people who keep saying America is a Christian nation. No, it is not and never was, it was a religious nation for a while but never God honoring.
