• 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.

Any guys here from MI

In that case, it would have been M:I. MI, as we all very well know, is Middle Istanbul.

</pedantic sarcasm>

Nope, I'm not from MI, not even from America. Though hopefully I'll be going there - both America and MI (I've got friends there) - in either 2005 or 2006.

Hello Motor City Christian! Curtis is a nice place to live--your Grandpa must love it.

To let others in on the Yooper-Troll joke...

"Yoopers" are Michigan-ers that live in the "U.P." (Upper Peninsula). "Trolls" are those that live downstate Michigan, below the Mackinac Bridge, hence "Trolls" that live below the bridge. Get it? Heh heh. :D

Oh he does, trust me. He moved up there to get away from Detroit, and he doesn't like the traffic and big city life. He sells tires up there and used to do tool and die. Curtis is a wonderful small town.
Another interesting spot up there is Whitefish Point. It is very very cold even in the summer because of Lake Superior. The Soo and the Soo Locks are excellent places to go visit. There is a nice little zoo up on US 2, near Engadine I believe. It's small but really fun. I love the UP.

See some of you soon maybe: I await a US work visa, to help my fiancee's church in Illinois, & hopefully, a proposed new regional Christian TV/radio station

As an ex-pro mimic, Id love to voice-over features, & help mobile units to cover events/festivals all over the Midwest

We in Liverpool, UK, have used cruise boats to the Isle of Man to stage Christian celebrations, & I'm sure enterterprising Detroit & Chicago mega-churches use the beauty & popularity of Lake Michigan!

Ciao for now!

Ian
