• 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.

I have made more friends because of FaceBook. I only have a literal couple of friends in my life that I made without FaceBook. All of my others (umm, a whole 3) I made due to FaceBook.

It is good to see Facebook can be good for some people :), to hear you have had such a positive experience with the site is truly smile inducing.

I know to some extent it is a sad account on my part.

Not at all. Everyone makes friends in different ways and any avenue that allows such connections to be built is far from sad. I think it is a fantastic sign of our wonderful times that people can do such things :).

I had one for a month or so, but I really hated the lack of privacy even with all the privacy settings. It felt like a very lazy way to keep in touch with people and i'm much happier e-mailing or phoning people up, even happier if we can arrange to meet up and grab tea somewhere. I don't want likes and reposts, I want actual conversation and special catch ups with people I care about :sorry:.

:amen:

I agree with this.


I have a facebook though, I have to keep it to keep in contact with some people. I was going to quit 2 years ago but one of my professors said we were required to have one for some online assignments. I keep it now as a way to keep contact open with people. I don't give my phone number or email out to a lot of people, so this works well.
