• 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.

Hey everyone

Welcome to CF!

I tried learning American Sign Language once out of a book. I got through fingerspelling and basic signs and started falling apart when I got to the more complex verbs and sentence construction. That was when I was 14, I think. Not sure I would try again, but I did find For Hearing People Only to be an informative read when I was in college. I like researching and connecting with people who live different realities, so what I learned I found to be interesting.
