• 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.

  • 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.

Again, wait until four minutes has played, then assimilate.........
YouTube - ‪Coldplay - White Shadows‬‏

Thanks for indulging me........

I`m not really a cold play fan, but some parts of songs are ostensibly profound...

Any way, speed of sound.......!"£$%^&*+"£$%^&*dfgh£$%^&DFGH%^&*

Check this song out... I totally rarely ever change the radio station from the Christian station I listen to, seriously like 0.0001% secular radio in the past year or more . . . but the other day I flipped around and heard this song (but not PJ's version):

YouTube - ‪Pearl Jam - I Won't Back Down‬‏

I have the Tom Petty album this was originally on and have listened dozens of times easy, plus this song has steadily gotten radio play since it came out, but I guess if I've heard it since becoming a Christian then I haven't really thought about the lyrics....

I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty

Well I won’t back down, no I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down

Gonna stand my ground, won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down.

Well I know what’s right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin’ me around
But I’ll stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down


This could almost be a Christian church hymn, could it not?
