  • 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

oooooh lookee at what revelations have just now
fallen-out of the Grenfell Tower Blaze

First revealed, was, that the Tower had been decoratively-clad ~to 'sweeten the view'
~for some nearby Luxury Flats
or, in other words
the Tower 'brought down' the view[tone] of the area, from those "Luxury Flats" nearby

next, to be revealed, was that the Tower, was occupied, by some 400 to 600 persons
(mostly immigrants) @ rents of [£2,000 per month] paid 'by benefits' ~to, the council

The money go-around,
(?)
so, what the government pays-out (from the Public Purse)
the government rakes back-in, via the rents for those flats
&
one supposes, that the similar windfall, will also be the result
of Council Tax benefits ~paid to residents (from the Public Purse)
and again collected, by the council (government)

We can take it for-granted, that the council won't be paying any Income Tax
on the rent collections.... hereinafter called "REVENUE"

Remember, no matter what is going on the world, God is faithful and has been through all the generations. We need to pray for those whom He has set in authority over us.

Hubby and I were on a day trip yesterday with some of the people who come to our senior citizens lunch club at church. A great day enjoyed by all.

Oh no.....

I wonder why, they might want memories to fade
before disclosing those details
Will those that contributed to RISK be long-retired
and no-longer culpable.... ?

It would appear that the majority of residents
of that building were immigrants
Apparently, a resident mentioned that a
another resident had banged on his door and told him his fridge had exploded
Now, without jumping to the conclusion that a bomb factory had suffered
a meltdown... I do wonder, why the fire was not contained within that one apartment..
But it is not at all surprising to see the fire leave that apartment via the UPVC windows and proceed to enter other apartments via UPVC windows that had been recently fitted, using the chimney effect of the air gap, between the recently fitted cladding and the building walls
As has already been mentioned, no fire hoses /extinguishers on any floor and no sprinklers, to inhibit spread of flame and fumes... et-voila. a nightmare

We have therefore a government owned and controlled housing project
recently 'cosmetically upgraded / improved' by government funded contractors
The CEO of which, had no knowledge of the suitability of the materials that were employed upon the building
Add the single central staircase (another chimney) and residents that were unable to negotiate those stairs... There will be those that will find no hiding-place, if the results of investigations are truthfully reported



Grenfell Tower fire: Investigation findings may not be published for years

I pray, that you read this, with open-hearts
I really do :oldthumbsup:

I believe, that, which I believe (?)
I cannot tell you what it is that you must believe
You must hear the voice of your own hearts

My God has them now
Now, they ARE safe

We have HEARD, the police, the fire brigade and Theresa May
No wonder at-all for the DELAY
16 dead (?) and, that figure, is likely to rise
as scientists sift the ashes for traces of whom is no-longer here

Now hear the relatives and friends of those residents
They say....
where are those that were rescued and
where are those, who "escaped"

Ask ! 'that question' _ WHERE ? ARE THEY ?

YOU DECIDE
~what is the truth and what is just 'pure propaganda'
May God's peace be with you, Today and Everyday

Why is it that I feel
that I have eyes that view so much 'detail'
that my ears, hear, stuff that others DID NOT

I saw from the 'day one' conflict, between the facts and the publicity

I have no time for conspiracy ....

Mathematics, need integers to provide a result
FACTS are necessary to understand 'process'


God will make the truth known, to you
The Holy Spirit is in us
Listen to your heart....

"I Said A Prayer For You Today"
I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard.

I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word.

I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind.

I asked Him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He'd be near you at the start of each new day.

To grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small.

But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.

"Gardening God's Way"

Plant three rows of peas:

Peace of mind

Peace of heart

Peace of soul



Plant four rows of squash:

Squash gossip

Squash indifference

Squash grumbling

Squash selfishness



Plant four rows of lettuce:

Lettuce be faithful

Lettuce be kind

Lettuce be obedient

Lettuce really love one another



No garden without turnips:

Turnip for meetings

Turnip for service

Turnip to help one another



Water freely with patience and

Cultivate with love.

There is much fruit in your garden

Because you reap what you sow.



To conclude our garden

We must have thyme:

Thyme for God

Thyme for study

Thyme for prayer

Doubt versus Faith

Doubt sees the obstacles,
Faith sees the way.

Doubt sees the darkest night,
Faith sees the day.

Doubt dreads to take a step,
Faith soars on high.

Doubt questions, "Who believes?"
Faith answers, "I".

Welcome Back Sis'

Actually, My Secret-Group (Facebook) has 43 members
and I am growing-it very slowly
with people, that have no wish to hurt, harm, upset anyone

It cannot be searched-for by non members
None of it's posts can be read publicly (FB staff excluded)

Here, is it's Description¬
Hi Guys and Gals :wave:
As you all know,
I disabled my facebook account, some time ago
and began a website (outside) via which, to maintain contact,
with the many friends that I have made here
Unfortunately, not very many friends made it there, to sign-in
and so, I was then, left to find another way....
This Secret Group which I understand is unsearchable by non-members
is a place where I can meet up with my friends and family
and not have-to DELETE and BLOCK tons of filth (porn and bad posts)
from my pages.... EVERY DAY
I do so hope that you will appreciate my efforts
It isn't what I want my granddaughters to have to view (?)
when they see "Granddad's Page"
your Bro'
dave

Facebook doesn't have enough privacy either. That is why I am not very fond of it. There is so much filth on that site which makes me very short tempered. I lost my cool with someone yesterday. I figured its time to take a long break from that site.

Such a shame you did not (yet) read my post Sis'
ie: the one that preceded-your's, above

Yes there-is CLEAN
and there is RESPECTFUL
out-there in Facebook land....
Once you 'tidy your house' and create, 'a congregation'

It will spell an end to your disgust and discomfort

dave

PS
If I have a problem with it... it is, when those members click LIKE on an ADVERT
because their action is then copied to me
I delete and block all that I see as-pandering
:oldthumbsup:
