• 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

Can we vent here?

No, no!! Don't do it, you'll be sooooo sorry!!!! The natives are very restless over there and you'll end up :rolleyes:. You'll come out of there either :eek: :( or :sigh: Or maybe all of the above.

Dear Dave Ulchers,

We have now activated your account at the Rapture Ready Message Board.
Tee hee!

Perhaps you are right, onesheep. But I have heard the clarion call. Rapture ready! One shall be taken, another left. Where, O Lord? Where ever there is a dead body, there Dave Ulchers will gather.... :)

 :( Aren't we all God's children?  Didn't Jesus die for us all?  Wasn't his brow pierced, and his back striped for all mankind?  Can't we love one another instead of trashing each other?  That's not a good witness.

It's that "similar threads" thing -- people don't look at the "last post" date when they click on the links.

The only similar threads that link to this one are from December of 2001. 2001. Not 2002.

JukeSK9,

I share in your frustration however, getting yourself banned will do only one thing (on this or any other board which is opposed to Catholicism)... and that is set you as an example of the "typical Catholic" who cannot defend their faith (since it is of course unbiblical :rolleyes: ) and has to resort to childish attitudes to obfuscate the topics.

You need to grin and bear it, you need to accept it, turn the other cheek (no matter how badly brusied, torn, or bloody it is) and continue to preach Christ crucified (1 Cor 1:23). Ignore those who persecute you (and us) and post vehemence. They'll do a good enough job of exposing their bias, they always do, and any honest lurker in search of the truth will be able to discern that.

While I agree there are a few bad apples on that particular board, there ARE people we can share fellowship and rejoice in our adopted relationship to the Father, as brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. For that very reason, it would be a shame to disappoint them (and us) with a blow up.

Peace brother, peace.

Deo iuvante,
Tom/NYJ

Tom, Peace be with you.

I really like what you wrote there.  Well done!

I have never been to RR.  I would love to go over and share in the suffering (hehe) of my fellow Catholics, but I hardly have the time to stay a few days behind on the posts here!  I am with you in spirit and commend you for your love and defense of our faith.

God Bless and stay safe.
