• 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.

Anita Bryant died last month and many in the lgbt crowd are celebrating her death, saying “good riddance,” “ding dong, the witch is dead,” “may she burn in hell” etc. they are laughing about it

It was just announced today

I’m not saying what she did was right, but it’s soooo hypocritical for the lgbt crowd to scream “love is love” then rejoice over someone’s death and spread hatred.

Pray for her soul

Why aren't you saying that what she did was right ?

She was often a bit over the top, and didn't come off as compassionate.

But, I did agree with her views, even though I cannot debate them.

O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the souls of Thy departed servants in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which they have committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.

For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servants who have fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

Grant rest eternal to Anita Bryant, and may her memory be eternal.

Saints of God, come to her aid! Come to meet her, angels of the Lord!
Receive her soul, and present her to God the most high!

May Christ who called you, take you to himself. May angels lead you to Abraham's side.
Receive her soul, and present her to God the most high!

Give her eternal rest, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
Receive her soul, and present her to God the most high!

We commend our Sister, Anita Bryant, to you Lord.
Now that she has passed from this life, may she live forever in your presence.
In your mercy and love, forgive whatever sins she may have committed through human weakness.

We ask this, through Christ our Lord,

Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.

May she rest in peace.

Amen.

May her soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, rest in peace.

Amen.

Kinda like Jesus, eh ?

If you can agree with one's views, why can't you debate them ?
Per the rules of the forum, we cannot debate LGBT issues.

Before we go our separate ways, let us take leave of our Sister, Anita. May our farewell to her strengthen our hope and ease our sadness. One day, we shall joyfully greet her again, when the love of Christ, which conquers all things, destroys even death itself.

Into your hands, father of mercies, we commend our sister Anita. In the sure and certain hope, that all who have died with Christ, she shall rise with him on the last day.

Merciful Lord, turn towards us and listen to our prayer. Open the gates of paradise to your servant, and help us who remain to comfort one another with assurance of faith, until we meet with Christ and are with you and our sister forever.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen.

Oh, I see.
That wasn't what I thought you wouldn't debate.
I thought you were referring to A. Baker's ways and means.
Bryant. Not Baker.

I’m kind of shocked. For some reason I thought she died years ago. :scratch:

Odd.

Many, many people commented the same thing.

Mandela effect/false memory perhaps?
