• 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.

How do we identify a Progressive?

Careful there with the grouping of all Traditionals to be like that. Even though I doubt you meant it to sound as judgemental as it did, the wording can come off wrong.

Aren't we all the same in the eyes of God?

That's what's so sad about all of this in the first place. Yes, sometimes people just want to share or discuss without opposing feelings being involved (such as in debate). Thusly it causes problems when people have such strongly opposing beliefs. This in itself is okay, to have a "Safe area" to go when you want that kind of interaction. However, it gets negative when it becomes a sectioning off of people and judgemental attitude.

I think people should be able to respect eachother and love eachother enough to not be aprehensive or allow friction to be present when those with different views decide to speak with eachother.

Just my two cents.

Then why won't more of them come and participate in the rule-making process now that they can have some influence in reshaping the SDA forum and sub-forums?

This is one reason that I am in favor of opening up the PSDA sub-forum to everyone. There are some who don't know where they fit. I used to be one of them. Do we have to label everyone? I don't think the hardcore TSDAs will want to post here much anyway, even if it is open.

That's very true. I also know that since I'm "on the fence" so-to-speak, I'd just be posting certain topics on the different subforums depending on the type of input I'm looking for. If I want input on a subject from more of an official/traditional standpoint, or wish to discuss with people of that kind of belief..I will go there. If I'm looking to see people's opinions about subjects that go beyond that, I'd simply go here.
