  • 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.

District Attorney for DeSoto County in Mississippi Matthew Barton has called for the resignation of a local school official and slammed what he sees as gender bias after Lindsey Whiteside, a former youth minister with Getwell Church in Hernando, Mississippi, was sentenced to just three years of house arrest and seven years of additional probation after she pleaded guilty to child sexual abuse.

"We, as the state of Mississippi and on behalf of the victim, requested the maximum sentence, which is 30 years, and I don't mind just saying it frankly — I'm extremely disappointed," Barton said during a press conference last Monday,calling the sentence "an absolute abomination of justice."

Court documents cited by Action News 5allege that Whiteside, now 27, knowingly had sex with an underage girl under her guardianship between May 14 and Nov. 6, 2024.
