• 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.

There was a thread in GA on whether abuse justified divorce, and someone told the story of a husband who threw chairs at his wife. And she explained that this was ongoing, and her friend was considering leaving, but had nowhere to go.

How many people, on this Christian BBS, do you think wrote to ask where this friend lived, to see whether they were close enough to help?

How many? And how many saw the thread? And if you link to the thread, we'd be able to see how many, on this Christian BBS were able to help, as you tend to infer little or none.

Can't link to it, it was two years ago and there's no search function.

It was in GA. I'd guess we had 20-30 active posters; very busy thread.

One person wrote to offer help. The rest, even the ones offering good advice, never thought to wonder whether this described abuse might be occurring in a physical world colocated with their own.

BTW: Imply. I imply something with my statement, you infer something from it. <-- seebs is an editor.
