These boards are no longer the CF boards??

Ok, well this is weird. I mean, I just joined CF on Thursday, and now it's all different. Hmmm...

I'll stick around though, for now.

Ha!!!! (I mea.nt the periods in the wor.ds) *I didn't want you to think I was laughing at what you said.

Would the change be less bad if the new slogan would get the amendment "Christian forum-based social networking for you!"?

Because that's what it is still, with half the forum dedicated to the Christian religion anyway (and I would not want to infringe on that).

You are offensive to me with your avatar.... maybe i need to report you....again. Look at our rules please'

See, I could see if I were you and just joined and then it changed I would too be like "huh, that's wierd.. oh well" and I don't think you are wrong for not caring too much. But for those of us who have been here for several years it's like stepping into the twighlight zone. I mean, as others have said really only the clothing has changed to be more honest with how relativist this place was to begin with, nothing really changed.

Honestly if I had come here (and not read the absurd vision Erwin has for this place) today for the first time, would probably think it were really cool thinking "That's neat, a social forum that happens to have some special religious section for different denoms and the Orthdoox Church. Neat". It it kind of feels like ... not like the rugs been pulled out beneath us, but like the rug probably was junly pulled on for a long time now until it was gone. Finally they just pointed it out to us ingoramuses who didn't know yet but explained it to us by cushioning the news with fluffy but meaningless words like "Christian Principles" and such. lol

Actually it's Mehmed II. Who was far from as universally evil as Christians tend to portray him as. He's mainly known for the conquest of Constantinople, but was generally a very progressive ruler. Take a look at this, from wikipedia.

Never mind your info. Mehmet the same vicious as the rest.... it is disrespective to have him in your avatar around here pls..either do not post or.... welll I think I warned you .... No bad feelings but this is a Christian forum regardless the FORUMS.... still got the rules up the top.

Ph.

By the way do not try to teach us history here.... esp. about the Turkish empire we know it by heart

Mehmed was progressive - well, say it ain't so

so who else is on your list of progressive people?

Osama?
Hitler?
Josef Mengele maybe?


ah wait - I know -

Stalin?



Seriously guy -

loose the turban head - or go elsewhere -

I would rather trust my history books than a perspective on the Ottoman Empire seen through the lens of a nationalistic independence struggle.

Really, please, if any leader who is viewed unfavourable by some group of people would be banned as an avatar, I have a hard time thinking of any serious leader who would qualify. When you decided to bring down mod action on my username, I didn't fight but accepted the change. Do you have to pursue me just because you can?

Futuwwa,

Please, if I may, what is it you seek?

Love,
Christina

Do you mean to ask what I'm doing here?

No, just because like I said I find it offensive. This is an orthodox christian forum , a congregational forum. I would not pursue you if you would be respectful but you are not. it is that simple... just drop the icon. I would never go to a mulsim site with a cross... either. Iw ould respect them just the same.

Thank you and may the True Lord and Saviour who your avatar picture fought save you and have mercy on your soul. Truly,
Philothei

Asinner, I'm here to learn. I want to get to know you. I'm very familiar with Catholicism and Protestantism, but Orthodoxy is a variant of Christianity I hardly know anything about.
