• 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.

  • 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.

is this experience i had considered a church blooper?

back in highschool, i attending this one very small church. we all knew each other fairly well and everything. one day, i went on my knees to pray during the time of prayer, and at the time i used to wear a dog chain on my wallet. well i sat back down, and the church had small metal chairs. in the midst of the silence of prayer, my chain went, "CLANK CLANK CLANK!" everyone looked at me and smiled and and i just sat there and smiled and then everyone went back to praying.

the lady that types up our Church Bullitens make a mistake in them every time... some of them are really funnie but some times I think that she does it on purpose.

one of them was supposed to say "...hear the birds singing", and what it said was "...hear the birds sining"... I thought it was funnie specially since everone sang it that way

There was another I will never forget reading, which was about a church starting up a group for Young Mothers, and advised that "Anybody wishing to become a young mother is urged to see the Pastor in his office."
Oh my, those are too funny!
