• 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

End times Party

Or maybe you've shown what levels you're willing to stoop to in order to show your distaste for someone. :(
But you could instead, consider setting an example.... Minister to your younger brother in the faith.... Show him why it doesn't have to come down to personal attacks to get a point across.
It's funny how you're here telling everbody else to engage in a model of behavior you yourself are not willing to engage in personally. You want anybody who has addressed NG public actions to take it to a PM. Where is your PM to me? I don't see any. You think I'm stooping low? How is that not a personal attack? Oh that's right, because Des said it. You have demonstrated a blatant double-standard here. It's okay for you to address in public, those people who do the exact same thing you're doing, but it's not okay for anybody else to do it. You're not taking your own advice and coming to me in PM. I doubt you're going to anybody else in PM either. And for the record, I've actually been in PMs with NG. I know from experience how that goes. Have you? I have no personal dislike for NG. I do however have a dislike for both his statements in this thread and your chastizing of anybody who calls him on them. If you wanna hug him into repentance, knock yourself out. You want people to deal with this in PM? How about you start, first? The next time you wanna call me out, send me a PM. For me, it's grace to the humble, law to the proud. Unlike you, I don't say one thing then do another. I'm consistent in my actions. If someone acts up in public, I address them in public.

come on guys.. can we tone down the bravado just a bit.

I'm not taking sides, but I would point out that someone needs to be willing to allow offenses to pass. Someone.. perhaps all :)

Or did I miss the part of scripture where Jesus said "persecute those who offend you and beat into submission those who misrepresent you."??
