• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Even Heathens understand when they are being stolen from. Our father in heaven will leave all without excuse; because he reveals himself though his creation. Even Heathens have some sense of morality.

Even a two year old understands the word "mine." He understands when someone is unrightfully taking something from him.

As he morally matures he will learn that everyone has their own "mine."

Esteem to our Heavenly Father for revealing to Baum, the injustice that was set before him and the fellow countrymen of his day, and the injustice, bondage and death, that was thrust onto the world as a result of its' expansion.

I guess I'm not understanding how something true or useful that is in your posts above somehow dismisses the points that I made in my posts. The points made within my posts above have nothing to do with economics and "just weights" but rather a different set of matters. By the way, did you read sections 10 & 12 in your linked article?

In reflection upon the genre of article you chose to post, I've likewise linked the following, and I we can all see that like so many authors of fiction, there's an underlying allegory built within it:


My apologies if The Wizard of Oz is somehow a work dear to your heart, but I'm more concerned with---and bothered by---his Theosophical philosophy, whether it seems he was quickened and enlightened by the Spirit to produce a Populist allegory, ... or not.

And in inferential reflection, just because we all may appreciate the work of Susan B. Anthony, which I do, doesn't also mean I have to appreciate the work and influence of her compatriot, Matilda Joslyn Gage.
