  • 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

One of them LOVES to do anything w/ foam stickers - you can get tubs of them at wal-mart - I've even found one there of Noah's ark and foam paper too.

    FDA Issues Drug-Suicide Warning.

    :) My doctor watched me closely for the first year, year and a half when I started taking antidepressants. FDA's a bit slow. Besides, these drugs don't work for everyone. For me they sure help a lot!! :sorry:

    Imersion Baptism

    Desert - the simple answer - the UMC doesn't ultimately care what faith you were originally baptized in. Once you have been baptized, you've been baptized.
