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.

Yep... we are classified as one of the "true particular churches" under RC canon 844.
If you look in the back of your missal at church tomorrow, you will find instructions on receiving communion-- who may or may not receive, etc. There you will find the Polish National Catholic Church listed by name, along with references to the Assyrian and other churches. They are the largest OC jurisdiction in the US.

Fr Rick rocks 
He was one of the first people I got to knw on CF when i jined three years ago.
He was struggling manfully to uphold one end of an evolution/creation debate, and I pitched in alongside him.
Bit older and wiser now and I avoid those things but it was great fun back then

lol.I get around a bit
I landed in OBOB because I do a lot of night shifts and thats the only pace you really find peole at 3am UK time, so made lots of friends there. I am Salvatinist by 'trade' so hang in Cyber Corps for that reason, I'm not sure what took me to STR but I spend a lot of time there, and I have recently started attending a Baptist church so now hang there as well.
Among other places.
Don't think I won too many popularity awards in the ghosts thread though...lolol

This is an interesting "joke" that I don't find too humorous or tasteful given the circumstances that you're aware of.Uh oh... don't say that "refuge" word too loud around here!

By "the incident", I'm assuming that you mean Time's ban.
Since I know that his outspokenness against BeMi had little, if anything, to do with the ban... then I know that there was nothing in my comment that was untoward. You might want to back down a minute to realize that a) not everyone has ill motives and b) there are many factors in that situation of which you are not aware.
And now... can we return to the OP instead of getting into yet another debate over that mess?
