• 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

This looks like an interesting forum so I decided to join.
Welcome to the forums.

Tolkien is one of my favorite authors, so I love your user name. I hope you find this a welcoming and interesting place to be.

Thank you. So far I find it a little bit confusing because it is different from other forums I have been on but I suppose I will get used to it

It is a big place, with a lot of different sections, so it can be confusing. But in general, it is a good place to be.

Just check the rules of each subforum in the “Statement of Purpose” threads so you don’t violate those terms - especially in denomination specific forums, which are safe havens for each particular group.

Hello and welcome! Feel free to ask if we can help answer any questions.

You might have folks "recognize" you. I thought at first maybe you were someone who used to post here returning - very similar name. I love Tolkien too btw. :)

Thank you for your responses. I chose my username because Sam is my favorite character in LOTR. He seems to be the only one who was able to go back to a normal life after his adventures.
