  • 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

wow, seems there was a glitch!

cigarette ministry? Can I bum one? :thumbsup:
I think I know what you are getting at MULTI. We are not all called to sit with homeless people. In fact, i don't have homeless people here. However, there are lonely and hurting, people everywhere. And it is to these I am called to reach out to. In whatever way God shows me. Using whatever gifts he has given me. currently
I play with peoples hair! It is amazing what people tell their hairdresser. :blush:
long term, I would like to get a job at the bar, however, my husband is concerned about my safety. (nice excuse) So I have considered a opening a coffee shop. (safer?)
:groupray: we will see what the new year brings.

There's a favorite daydream.

I roll my own, so you know you're getting just good ol' tobacco.
Factory cigarettes only haveto 42% tobacco by law (here), so what you get is filler and burning agents.
Only the best for MY proselytes!^_^

I take all my drugs intravienously.

Yes HairyTickler, you got it in one. The issue is not Rich and Poor, but the divides we place between one another. Bridging such gaps should always be a challenge, cos it's a gap!

Ms Trying, you do have a way with people, like I do, so I am impressed to hear your parents are responsible for your equalist-focus! Mine took years of training in China under harsh instructors (erm...maybe not then ;) ).

Perhaps, oh Church, we were all born for such a time as this, but unlike Esther it is not our physical beauty that will entice the King (except Otto's of course) but our beatiful courage and grace?

I think my word of the week is COURAGE. So today will be brought to you by the letter C and the number... well, it's gotta be... 69 dude!

Love you all, kisses to Ms Trying.

Thanks Flan (mwah)

So if it is the letter C then let me tell you that my open nature comes from my curiosity, not really courage. I bridge the gaps because the unknown plays into fears. If I don't really know somones differences those can be scary and intimidating so my curiosity gets the best of me and I do the research in one way or another. Knowledge is power and so I chose to arm myself to be able to defend in any situation.

I was the youngest of 4 (& the cutest) so I got beat up regularly. It turned mostly verbal by middle school, & I distinctly remember thinking I should "learn the art of verbal Judo."
The first phrase I remember latchin' on to & usin', was,"With all due respect..."^_^

Here ya go, Hair'tic. Ya need a light?
A kick in the chest to get started?=)

cheaper works...I will definitely have a smoking section in my coffee shop. I still like it....too much....I just need to be a good example for my kids. (so what about the stumbling around ???) leaves to think about that one.
Smoking in coffee shops is illegal - unless of course you have a virtual coffee shop...but then you would only have to deal with virtual smoke
:doh:

Now far be it for me to rain on yer [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth] parade (over here, a [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth] is a siggy) but I am genuinely allergic to smoke. If I go out to pubs, or when I perform in smoking clubs, I have to immediately change my clothes and shower or I will be up all night with Asthma attacks. Also if I get too much in my eyes, they puff up (the actual iris that is) and I have to go to casualty.

Our Church (when we were a globe-gobbling building owner) used to sell teeshirts with a picture of Jesus smoking on it.

And did I mention my mate from NYC who lived with us for a while who was horrifie to hear that the leaders went to the back of the church meetings to smoke [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth], ie. suck on Satans penis/have a siggy.

So I haughtily poke my nose up an exclaim "hffff" to all the evil suck-jobbers and proclaim "renounce yer evil ways". Just incase you start burning yer non-Christian CDs, I'm refering to yer [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]... and just in case you start burning yer gay dads, I'm referring to cigarettes.

Or not.

It's all good.

I loooooooooooove Romeo and Juliet Cigars, but I have to change and shower directly after smoking and I usually get an attack or have to shallow breathe -- is it worth it? Yeah baby yeah.

Oh, and Joi, I actually slept most of the night, Solo was coughing but slept soundly after a nappy change and I woke up with Bibs on me again! Bless her.

Hairy Lunatic, you should sell pasties in yer shop. Oh and give yer customers a choice of having a Cadburies Creme Egg melted into their coffee - I looooove that. Oh and you gotta sell a good fry-up; blood pudding, bubble n squeek, bangers, you know what I mean, eh?

Gratis, go compare your MySpace pic with Hairies CF pic and tell me you both dont look alike (or maybe all white folk look alike to me).

Look alike? We are related, but certainly not by blood! (ha ha) I don't see the resemblance. But, I won't condemn you for it! :D
