• 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.

Thanks for the well wishes, but I am really thankful for LilLamb, Edial and DaRev for braving it and applying as Mods. I also would like to thank you all for pulling our forum back together again as 1 big happy family. I think you are all great folks and I think of you as my own true and personal friends. Its also very nice to have some new members here and returnee's The More the Merrier
I ask you all to work with our new Mods peacefully. As you all should know by now, its matters not a twit if any of you or myself disagrees with a certain forum rule, because we all confirmed that we would abide by them, and as Moderators we also have to uphold them, but we try to do so with love and grace.

I sincerely apologize for the mistakes I have made in the past and I hope you will be forgiving of our new Mods if they make any mistakes. If you feel any of has done anything wrong please respond in a PM if you would, as rule 3.8 prohibits in thread discussions of moderator actions. In following Matthew 18:15-20 this is what our Lord would want us to do. I will let you all know up front that Mods have very strict rules to follow. If anyone, reguardless if they are a personal friend or not violates a rule, we have to report these. Therefore I ask again, please familiarize yourselves with the rules so we don't have to report "anyone" . We are here only as peace keepers not to lourd it over anyone. My PM box is always open and I'm also not afraid to talk to anyone via phone although I would like to refrain from talking with ladies unless their spouce is present for obvious reasons.


Lets all congratulate our New Mods

But it really made the headlines!
. That's the funny part.

Poor Martin just posted some points to discuss and the roof caved in.

He was like "What? What? I just wanted to talk."

Even to this day, people are still misunderstanding what Martin's purpose was and arguing.

Having spent an afternoon at the museum in Wittenburg Germany really put things into context for me. I knew it on one level, but being there and seeing and reading really brought it all home for me. Also visited Wartburg Castle and a couple of others. I just want to go back and visit more Luther sites. Sites like Worms, Erfurt and Eisleben.

I envy your experience and I can hardly wait to visit Germany. I'll be in the UK in April, but we won't have time to see much other than England and Scotland.
The idea of being able to see so much of Europe so easily makes the possibility of living in England a bit more attractive. There are no Lutheran churches in the area, though.
Can you imagine? Henry VIII did quite the thorough job, didn't he?

I think we have been reading the same threads!

Possibly. It's as if they refuse to believe that we don't worship Dr. Luther or have him elevated as our perpetual pope.

They honestly believe they are the only true church and we are heretics. Oh, well. It is curious that some spend so much energy on us instead of focusing on their own internal "issues" or do they blame Luther for those as well?
