• 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

I just thank God that this is a different group than when I first came inquiring and that TAW overwhelmed me with a loving and humble attitude rather than that hatred and propaganda that
has been filling it lately.


Were you flirting with Islam and blasphemy when you first came here? Maybe that is why...

Why are we fighting among ourselves. Just because one person make a wrong decision doesn't mean you have to take anger out on anyone else. Lets just calm down. All we can do is pray for Michael. Better pray for him than insult him and throw him even further away from Orthodoxy.

Um, I never did any such thing. Please stop the personal attacks.
I think you need to reread his post. He wasn't attacking you. He was asking a question - that this was not the circumstances you came with here, and that is why you were not given these responses. A different situation, in other words.

The purpose of the thread was merely to inform you of my decision. I'm not interested in debates.
Then why don't you just ask for this thread to be closed? It seems it's purpose has been more than fulfilled.

If all the raindrops were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be!
Standing outside with my mouth open wide...
Gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp.
If all of the snow flakes were gumdrops and milkshakes, oh what a snow that would be! Standing outside with my mouth open wide; AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH! IF ALL OF THE SNOWFLAKES WERE GUMDROPS AND MILKSHAKES OH WHAT A SNOW THAT WOULD BE!

Why does everyone want to close threads when things heat up just a little? Come on people, and understand that conversations can't always be happy-clappy. Sometimes we find bumps in the road, and it doesn't help anyone to pretend they don't exist.
Because the OP has been fulfilled. This thread is divisive. There have been terrible things said to one another. None of this will EVER convince ANYONE to even take a second look at the Holy Church.

This thread is purposeless.

Quite frankly I feel that the mods here are delinquant in their duties to close this thread. I have seen much more useful and interessting and less offensive threads than this pile dung get closed becuase things got a little heated up. This thread is the devils playground and the mods need to step up and do their job by
1) closing this thread
2) giving me a warning and a wahtever else for publicly criticizing them and
3) deleting this post.
