• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Yes, Hen. I understand that Conservative Christians are happy about this. There is nothing more that I can say without getting into trouble. That does not disturb you in the least?

I'll speak for myself here and I don't know what any of your issues are whatsoever... maybe ignorance is bliss :holy:

But all I do here is try to promote God's word & principles. I'm not overly involved in the rules or what people are doing or saying here or elsewhere.
I don't care about what happened last year - I'm perfectly fine to start working on new offenses and leave the old behind lol.

I don't go to the liberal forum, it makes my life less complicated and frustrated. I just go about my time here working on discussion to promote the truth, point to Christ and be encouraging to my fellow brothers & sisters.

When problems w/ guidelines & rules interfere with delivery of God's word and Christians are heavily infringed upon/silenced, then I'll go make some noise about rules or whatever.

It just keeps me out of trouble and more available to witness the Lord wherever I can. Not that I'm saying you should do the same either - if it weren't for some workhorses & whistleblowers around here, I wouldn't of known to join in on some 'crusades' I got involved in.

Just that I seek peace where possible and want witness of Christ promoted. I don't want to get burnt out again like before & have strife take over the areas - esp. now.

Workhorses and Whistleblowers are not wanted anymore, Nadiine. Again, that is enough to get me another ban. I don't mind not being able to flame people or whatever. I never did much of that to begin with. However, I do mind not being able to speak against the rules.

Yeah, you are probably right. In the meantime, how many sinners will be saved?

IF, Lee's goal is to get the Christians here in the right frame of mind so that outreach would be more feasible, I would kiss his feet. That is not what has been said though. Again, I have been warned against this kind of public complaint on CF. I really need to stop, so I think it would be best if I log out for awhile.

Well I am sorry to hear that, this is further compounded by the fact that I irk You.:sorry:

Sheesh I can't do anything right.

Chris, you don't irk me :), but I have to agree it was probably a huge mistake to drag this thread up. There were a LOT of hurt feelings back then. CC became a ghost town after for quite some time. Now that it's starting to rebuild, it's still quite fragile. Threads like this one (and the current course of the discussion) are not going to help things. I hope you can understand.

All the ones that God saves via His Spirit and His Gospel. We keep on sharing that Gospel and let Him do the hard part. :)

Maybe that would be for the best for a little while, you're sounding really on edge these days. Anyway, if people want to know your complaints, they're not hard to find, right?;)

I didn't know the past controversies that went on around here...:doh:

but its just my experience in most forums that liberal viewpoints ran rampant and with free reign, and with no limits whatsoever, resulting in personal attacks of all kinds.
