• 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.

This requires some elaboration and clearing up any misconceptions.

The bottom line, is that we have the right to say "no", and we are NOT obligated to "explain". We do NOT "owe" ANYONE an explanation, nor are we obligated to be weighed down with toxic "false guilt", which is as surely a "prison" akin to being behind bars and shackled in chains.

There is a "myth" afloat that the "privileged" and the "elite" have the audacity to spout on and on about. And that myth is that it is "poverty" that causes this n' that. They are blind as bats in their pompousness and ig'nance and self-absorption, as they step ALL over those they think they are "speaking for", yet they TAKE FROM, and commit all kinds of atrocities against, especially the "least of these", the "poorest" and most tiniest and most helpless who cannot defend nor speak up for themselves.

What utter and "selectively-blind" evil nonsense.
