  • 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

    The LDS temples

    They are a bunch online, in fact LDS church distribution is available online, but I think the person has to be a member to order from them. I could be wrong. Tom

    There are other LDS bookstores, but deseret book is the biggest, so I took a guess it was that one you visited. Tom

    ^_^ No the state is sometimes called the deseret state, but the company called deseret book is ALL over the place. In fact they are in Portland where I live. Most likely it was deseret book. Tom

    The LDS temples

    I'm guessing that when you say LDS bookstores you're referring to stores like deseret book. This is NOT part of the church distribution, although church distribution material can be found there. They are not one and the same. Tom

    The LDS temples

    Absolutely NOT. The problem MOST who are critics of the LDS church run into that quote from the JofD is that they equate it as a source for official LDS doctrine. I don't know. But to reiterate what I've already said when the talks are based upon our foundations sources, the standard works...

    Trolls????

    This is rediculios. What's the thread about? I'm discussing exactly what the thread entails! I'm not "dive-bombing any other thread with irrelevant information. It seems to me its you against ALL LDS tonight regardless of the circumstance, so preach away. You obviously don't see how...

    The LDS temples

    The LDS church has a distribution store where most things are sold at cost. I pretty sure it can be found on lds.org. The is NOT a blanket statement that says EVERYTHING offered at church distribution IS official church doctrine. The church has not taken an official stance on EVERY...

    The LDS temples

    Maybe so, but remember this ALL started from YOUR comments, which stated that the LDS church is hiding things. I asked because I don't want to assume what your intent was. But you are right, I don't feel inclined to help you. From my interactions with you, I have noticed you twist many LDS...

    Trolls????

    I agreed with your definition of "trolling" and if I'm guilty of it I need to be made aware of it. For me to dig through ALL your posts to find out which ones I thought were trolling would be wrong. But, now that we have our understandings clear, I am duty bound to follow what I believe...

    Trolls????

    Serapha you were witness to the "trolling" that happened a few days back by those "Christian" posters here on this forum. Has that behavior changed at all? I dare say NO. While I don't condone the disruptions, it clearly shows how that shoe fit when put on the other foot or in other words...

    Trolls????

    What's in the past is the past, but I'll now use your definition for you as a guide for your posts, since its your own belief. I too agree with it and if I am guilty of "trolling" please let me know. Tom

    Then I mistook your comments as pointing to my methods as being deceptive. As a quick hint use the " " to simply the search or you'll be in search mode all day long. What does it say? Tom

    Trolls????

    Yeah, you gave a definition of trolls. I elaborated on it and was essentially asking if my comments fell within your definition. It was a question as can be seen by the punctuation at the end of the sentence. Sorry I should've included the original question you responded to. It does get...
