• 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.

All of the tension for nothing...

I just got word that all congregational rules will only be treated as guidelines for posting at this time, but they will not be law.

Site-wide rules will now govern every forum, as well as a site-wide warning/infraction system.

In a sense I think it will probably be better this way; but it is quite frustrating to know that all of the hard work and stress that went into making up our rules was an absolute waste of time.

A lot if damage was caused to relationships as a result of this whole thing. What a shame that is.

Did I miss something here? Does this mean that our new rule system has to be scrapped?

Please don't tease me like this....

things are only a waste of time if a person learns nothing from what happened.

Thats why they wreck all those brand new Mercedes and other cars at the insurance instituted, to learn, so nothing is wasted......
