  • 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

    Discussion: New rule - homosexuality & same sex marriage

    This is what I mean. If we permit groups CF identifies as Christian to promote non-Christian behavior (which we identify as non-Christian) in areas reserved for Christians, CF is agreeing with that what she allows. If we have Christians who practice homosexuality (that CF says is un-Christian)...

    Discussion: New rule - homosexuality & same sex marriage

    CF Statement on Marriage between 1 man and 1 woman does not make on "more" Christian. It affirms that what is obvious. Allowing open discussion in certain Christian areas by groups we identify as Christians in a context that SSM is an OK Christian practice does make one "less" Christian.

    Discussion: New rule - homosexuality & same sex marriage

    So you allow two men kissing and wedding pictures in areas you identify as Christian. Correct?

    Discussion: New rule - homosexuality & same sex marriage

    Re-stating the last sentence of my quote - how would you support that CF is not becoming "less" Christian in her policy making?

    Discussion: New rule - homosexuality & same sex marriage

    Are same-sex wedding pictures or two men kissing a "blatant propaganda" or discussion?

    Discussion: New rule - homosexuality & same sex marriage

    While you agree that homosexual behavior is not something a Christian should be engaged in you are allowing promotion of homosexuality in some Christian areas if they agree and choose to promote it. Why shouldn't I think CF is losing it's Christian essence?

    Discussion: New rule - homosexuality & same sex marriage

    Since you allow promotion of homosexuality in certain congregational Christian areas does CF believe it is an acceptable Christian practice? And if you do not believe it is an acceptable Christian practice, why do you allow promotion of unacceptable Christian practice in areas reserved for...

    Am I a Prepper?

    I have great memories of that as well. BTW, I never even noticed how I gradually turned into a commercialized robot. :) When like minded people from different countries get together sharing such things while putting the politics aside, much goodness comes out of it.

    Am I a Prepper?

    Yes, this one is expensive ... probably because not much demand for it now. :) Back in USSR mothers and fathers were really maintaining them - lasted generations. :)

    The date..guys only

    Well, I was never married and still smiling. ^_^:) But I remember a girl I was dating when I was young. We went to the movies and my goal during the movie was to touch her hand. :liturgy: I think I touched her pinkie with my pinkie. I have no idea what the move was about. :help:

    Am I a Prepper?

    Absolutely beautiful.:oldthumbsup: It gives this feeling of satisfaction of preparing for the winter in the summer, for next year this year and even for next week this week. Something is very, very right about this.

    Is the Catholic Church what Jesus intended?

    ADMIN HAT ON Guys, this forum is for Catholics only. If you are not a Catholic you may only ask questions or fellowship here. People asked for this thread to remain open. I would be doing some cleanup and some of the posts would get deleted. Please, if this continues from non-Catholics you may...

    Am I a Prepper?

    I was born in USSR and Prepping was a way of life there. Summer time grandmothers were canning cucumbers, apples, tomatoes, cabbage, beets. Fathers were buying like 100 lbs potato sacks (I still have no idea how potatoes lasted). Jams, plenty of home-made jams - white cherry (tastes...
