  • 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

Cool Off Thread!

We do need to come up with some suggestions in how we should fight back. Perhaps, we should have a meeting set on MSN for those who want to fight this fight.

It's actually allowed, though not very polite if others don't know you are the same person. When I want to lurk, I often use my alter ego (who is actually MORE conservative than this one is :eek: )
Fo' reals? Dude I'm going to make another account. HEHE!

Those who are interested, send me a pm and we'll set up a time on MSN that we all can meet and talk about stuff... and pray through stuff too.

This weekend, I'll be out of town, but I'll be back Sunday night. Let's see what we all can do and put our heads together.

Whatever we do, we must stay within the rules and thus no one will be able to accuse us of anything.

Hi gti :wave: Why don't you come on in? I see you've made no posts yet
anywhere and that you are a seeker. We have a thread for non-members
where you can ask us any questions you would like to ask. :thumbsup:

IamRedeemed, gti

I'd be interested D'Ann in offering anything I can give that might be of benefit. Just let me know.....

Cool. I'll be out of town this weekend and will be back on Sunday. I'll check this thread and see who would like to talk and pray about the situation in our safe haven and then we all can discuss things and come up with some ideas as to how to *solve* some issues.

If you want, you can send me a pm as well. Whatever way works best for you all.

I just think it's time that we work some things out to help keep our safe haven... safe and protected.

God Bless,

Debbie

I'm willing to help in every way I can to make this a safe haven for like-minds as well...

I'm not sure what it is you all see we need to "fight against" at this point... I think we just need to set up our new guidelines in compliance with the new sitewide rules and then get back to fellowshipping and learning more about the Lord, the Bible, and our walk through life as a Conservative Christian and what that means to us... I'm really looking forward to it! :hug: :clap:

As I said, I'm willing to help in every way I can to fight to keep CC open, and thriving! I don't think that will need to include anything with my staff member hat on, but in a member capacity I'm definitely "in" to help re-decorate so to speak, and get back to the good things in life! ^_^ :)

I would hope something could be done to fix all this -- after over 1 month of continual upheaval, (both internal and external), I think it can get back to normal.

I think alot of this has been internal - once you get past the rainbows & unicorns, you see bigger divides.

I also saw what looked to be partiality going on w/ friendship allegiences if you disagree with person "a", you'll now tick off all "a's" FRIENDS who then form alliances against you & your friends and fight back, etc. The tensions rise, anger & resentments get deeper & build...

One group wanted alot of liberal influence & fellowship & didn't care what their theology was as long as they can chat on a superficial level, while others felt it was spiritually compromising and almost "doubleminded" to engage with them while they hold entirely opposing scriptural beliefs. (namely if you do debate w/ them elsewhere, and/or if they're over on IIDB trashing all of us - only to find them all friendly and quaint w/ everyone as if they're best buddies). :scratch: :|

I think that may have been another source of the internal friction that finally surfaced here and came to a head. On top of that, I don't doubt that this forum had more "moderates" in it than hardline conservativism across the board.
(I could be wrong on these things it's just some hind sight observation).

Then tack on mass spite reporting and what I view as baiting that's been going on... and lots of other little things & you have this powder keg we see before us right now.

I'm hoping too that Lee's changes provide a solid foundation to build on so this area can get back to some consistency & order.
Worst case scenario (if necessary), CC could be scrapped & a similar forum started just to start over & wash out the old stains.
