• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Since this is Ethics and Morality, and therefore, the proper place to discuss ethics, by what ethical standard does staff believe they have the right to close the threads of the members with the somewhat fraudulent and self-serving assertion that they are "off-topic"?

Why are some threads determined to be in the wrong location and thereby moved to the proper location, while others are simply removed from access (i.e. deleted or closed), with the intentional affect of silencing those posting to them?

No one, not owner, administrator, moderator or other staff member may proclaim themselves to be other than anti-freedom when they engage in the act of attempting to silence the members. You are here to serve us, we are not here to serve you.

As for the "owner", the very title is a misnomer. You may own the code and the server upon which it runs, but you do not own the people nor do you hold any rightful claim to their thoughts which you and yours wipe away with no more consideration than that would be given to spilled milk.

I ask this question of everyone, but particularly those who claim to follow Jesus while casually demolishing the thoughts and voice of the members; can you show me any instance where Jesus prompted the gagging of those with whom he disagreed?

If you can't and you still choose to serve the destruction willed by the new mandates, then let you not lower yourself further by fraudulent claims to be following Jesus.

Remember that when you attempt to wipe out this post, this thread or the rising unrest as you escalate your crimes against the membership.
