  • 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

You are having more problems with church Ctay??The last time I saw you I saw that you and that lady were talking !
Yep more problems. The pastor took a call, he's leaving in a month or two. Heard things, didn't want to hear. This one lady said yesterday morning if these pastors around here that can help, do come help she's leaving because she doesn't like them, she asked everyone what if we try and do the services on our own. No one said anything, she's another hard one to talk to too. I feel like i'll get left out of everything after the pastor leaves too, more like a social club instead of worshiping

Roaring Down the Aisle: A little wedding humor



A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd.
While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and ROAR.
So it went, step, step, ROAR,... step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.
As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.
When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."
