  • 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

    Michelle...send me the song!

    Thanks...Joris :hug: I was hoping that a friend of mine would get into this forum and keep a conversation going. As I've identified with many traits it's been useful in understanding myself and the world around me. I've always been a strong person...it turned into a kind of independent thinker...

    Very thorough Aspie quiz.

    Your Aspie score: 147 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 62 of 200 You are very likely an Aspie Although I would have rather commented on some questions and I would have prefered a "MOST DEFINATLY" choice on some.

    I don't want to be cured.

    I hope I'm understanding what you're saying...if so, you'll understand when I say, sharpen your iron against this: Isn't that why God gave those children to you? Because He knew you would....could....should....and did. Amen. That is the God we serve. Did He stretch you? Did He give you the...

    Michelle...send me the song!

    Playing around with my "mood" here at CF...I must admit I'm somewhere between Pensive, Inspired, lurking, paranoid, and praying. I haven't been here for a little while...I know the person I wanted to join me here is probably way far away in dream land. There have been 6 other people who looked...

    Michelle...send me the song!

    Sorry folks....if this works, I don't think any of us will be too upset (well, maybe some). I'm kind of trying to hijack this part of the forum with this thread. THIS, from someone who's thought they were "normal" and just didn't understand anything that has been going on in this world or with...

    Yu-Gi-Oh Cards and the like...

    Nope, I'm not from California.:) Ok...here's the thing. Some kids might be more sensitive to things than others. My husband got into D&D when he was a teen and didn't get sucked into anything. (If that has to do with desensitization? I don't know so I can't go there.) I got into some stuff and...

    Yu-Gi-Oh Cards and the like...

    Is anyone here really condeming anyone elses family as being less Christian just by putting their own beliefs and feelings down in a post?? Just because some of us see a major difference between The Chronicals of Narnia and YuGiOh (as in Where is God and where the powers come from) doesn't mean...

    Ohioan Thread

    This thread's been pretty quiet...but I hope you all pop in just once before the election to check this out about Issue 1. I've heard a bunch of rumors about what this amendment will and won't affect and found a website to put those rumors to rest. If you have questions check out...

    Ohioan Thread

    I've only heard little bits here and there. Things like alot of military jets and alot of jet trails. Some people were talking about strange lights in Fostoria. Some people are talking UFO's and gov. cover up. Others are saying that it has to do with the nuke plants and some threat of an...

    Ohioan Thread

    Have any of you seen anything strange in the skies lately? My husband listens to Trivasano (sp?) out of Cleveland and I guess they've been talking about alot of jets in the sky and some strange happenings (lights and military closing off roads) over in Fostoria, OH. Has anyone else heard...

    Men not being active at church

    Well said.:clap: It's pretty refreshing to hear (in part) what the Lord has been telling my heart spoken here. I know 3 other women who are in situations where they want their husbands to lead. Most of us are told that if our husbands are not leading we must step up and take charge for the sake...

    Lets hear from the happily married

    Thank you soooo much for this thread!!! I've been avoiding the couples forum because the threads I enjoy are so few and far between. God led me here tonight though! Happily married since Nov. 2000!!! The greatest blessing! I'd add more but I think Molly (hope I got that right) and Carl Carson...

    Yu-Gi-Oh!

    What bothered me most about Yu-Gi-Oh were the ties to the occult (having been a person who was into that kind of thing before Christ) that I saw in some of the symbolism. I asked a friend of mine what she thought, just the other day, and she thinks some kids are 'deeper thinkers' than others...

    Ohioan Thread

    Don't want to mess up this thread with politics but I felt this would be the best place to reach Ohioans! If anyone receives an e-mail from the AFA (American Family Association) about Sen. Voinovich being for gay marriage DO NOT PASS IT ON! I called his office this morning to let him know...
