• 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.

Installing discipline especially after a period of indiscipline is a big work but not impossible.

The first thing is that you the dispenser of justice has to have proven beyond all criticisms that you have a reasonable level of discipline.
Always be the one not to do what should not be done.
Correct in love.
Before you correct an erring member openly, let it be that you have corrrected the person secretly.
Correct mistakes and don't go personal.
Punishment should be reasonable and consistent with indiscipline.
Do not be partial or differential in measuring discipline.
Maintain your stand even when majority differ in opinion.

And pray for tranquility.
