• 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.

To the mods: Please don't delete this post. I'm sure it will disappear off the bottom of the page soon enough.

To everyone else: I just want to apologize for my behavior in this forum, particularly in topics regarding homosexuality. I got carried away numerous times to the point of intentionally insulting others as a way to defend my position. That's not something a Christian should do and God has been dealing with me about it in a very personal way. This is a big weakness of mine, I admit. I'm submitting it to Him for change and taking a long break from this forum. So once again, I'm very sorry.

Carri,

This post took a lot of courage and self reflection. Although you have never personally offended me, I commend you. Hang in there.

Ditto... though some of the posts were uncomfortable for me in seeing... I still love you sister. :hug:

Carri, we ALL get carried away sometimes! I recently had a post edited by mods for being over the line (and I'm probably lucky it hasn't happened more often).

The greatest lesson I've learned by coming here doesn't have anything to do with the actual topics of debate, but is the fact that each of us is shaped by our own life experiences and surrounding without even being aware of it. And that none of us can understand why others don't believe the same things we do because to us it seems so obvious! :). Just knowing this can help us all even if we never agree on things.

Don't go away. Even if you don't want to post just stay and read. I'll bet you become as fascinated as me by the different ideas floating around here!
