• 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.

Goodbye, guys...

Well, I think I need to say goodbye. I've enjoyed my time here, but the more I study the more I think that my sister was right and my returning to church was nothing but my old ways sneaking up on me.

I've made a few friends here that I certainly hope I'll get to keep, but in order to be true to what Erwin is trying to do, I am going to change my icon back to atheist and stop posting in the Christians only section.

For those of you who would like it, PM me and I'll give you my e-mail address so we can keep in touch... and, of course, I will still be on CF, just not in CO section.

I'm going to bid farewell on my blog and then change my icon.

:wave:

I spoke to Randi privately about this already through one of those messaging programs and sent her my well wishes, but I thought I'd add to the thread as well. I think we were really lucky to have her here as a participant for the time that she was with us. I'm saddened by the fact that we can no longer metaphysically share in the Eucharist together (We weren't members of the same parish, but one of the points of the Eucharist is that it transcends distance, right?) and that she can no longer post here to this forum, but I understand her decision and hope she chooses to continue her growth spiritually, even though it looks like it'll be as a non-Christian.
