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.

Here’s a little something put together to help you out,
Maybe you’re an old-hand at Internet discussion boards, but in case you’re somewhat overwhelmed, now might be a good time to take a peek at the FAQ which will explain a lot of things here at CF.
You probably read the Terms of Service you agreed to when joining, but now might also be a good time to read through the Rules. They might seem long, but it may help make your stay smoother to somewhat familiarize yourself with them. They’ll tell you where and when one can post what, like, posting images (after 100 posts), restrictions on some particular forums (by age, gender and such), how to get or earn blessings (sort of our CF money) for a CF character or pet, ‘armor’ (clothes for your character), games and such, the Private Message (PM) system. You require a 5-post-count before your allowed to Private Message. If someone messages you or sends you blessings you can reply however. More on Blessings near the bottom CF is a huge place and we want you to feel welcomed and enjoy us.

About Blessings:
Blessings are used here to do things like get a character, and getting "armor" Clothing for your character, even a Pet, and to buy the pet food to feed it daily. Blessings are used like money here.

Every time you post you get blessings as well.
Same with the "Bank" you can put blessings in the bank and go once a month to collect interest. Each time you deposit or withdraw blessings the timer gets reset for another week.
There is a fun area here called Blessing Exchange, where people play different games to earn more blessings in larger amounts.
Have a happy journey here at CF and feel free to contact the New Member Intro forum moderators or other Staff, or the CF Angels with any questions. We are volunteers here and may not always have ready answers, but are filled with patience and kindness and will usually point you in the right direction and are intent on being helpful to your concerns.
Welcome To CF!

Sometimes I am wary to tell people this for fear they may think I am daft or imagining things and I have only told a few people but now I would like to ask you what your opinion is. A while back when I was new in my walk with the Lord I was fighting an addiction, I didnt admit it to myself but it was becoming a problem with me. One day I was in my living room just looking out of the window, there was no distractions in the house whatsoever, then all of a sudden, quite out of the blue I heard a very clear male voice. Not a loud voice but a voice that was more of concern. It made specific directions towards the problem I was facing and told me to stop. The voice said to me "how do you expect me to help you if you wont stop" and even used my name. I was totally taken aback and although I did backslide a few times and carry on I have now been free of this addiction for 9 months. Does anyone have an opinion on this please. Thankyou. God Bless you all.

welcome! i think ive heard this voice before... though it was in a dream, it was clearly god's voice. it set me back on track, as well, though not quite as gently as what happened with you. in fact, it scared the heck out of me, but it also ultimately brought me closer to the King.
Grace and peace.
Grace and peace.
