• 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.

If a split happens, who is who?

I have seen that the progressives have been the instigators all along. Of course it will make a difference in here when they are no longer present to antagonize us.
Even if there is a split, what makes you think everybody won't also be posting here as everybody is doing now?

Jesus was viewed by some as an instigator.... and as Daryl said, even if the forum splits it does not mean people cannot post here as they are doing now.....

Also, as far as the Traditionals and Progressives having their own forums, don't these forums already exist as sub-forums with each one determining their own rules as the still open respective POLLS shows?

I, therefore, again ask what good would a split do?

I think what some people are calling a split is really a divorce, they want people to leave, to go away, to get out...

Rules will be enforced that will allow only for posting that edifies the members of this forum.

Whatever constitutes that which edifies will be permitted.

Again, this will be of no concern to you, as you will have your own forum to worry about.
thank you Woob, however I suspect whatever the new configuration I will still be able to post here as my membership is in the Seventh Day Adventist church.... while I use to think that a response like yours was curt and hateful, I know now that is just how you talk to people..... makes communicating with you easier...

What I don't understand is why with just the question of should there be two forums someone like woob can be so certain that his vision of his side of the forum is going to be the same as those who may be voting the same as he will vote. There is nothing in the poll to indicate that a new forum for one side or the other will have the rule that something posted has to be edifying by woob's standard. Whatever that standard may be, I think he is thinking that he will make that decision though I doubt very much that others would give him such authority.

Then there is the Progressive side encouraged by Night and I still can't get an answer from him of what the Progressive forum he has envisioned will me like. Other then the hostility of the Traditionals will somehow vanish, but I don't know how that will be accomplished. It appears to me that there are some on both sides of the split who have Utopian dreams of the new forum order.

Maybe they have ideas that could work I don't know but certainly each side needs to present some more concrete reasons and plans then we have seen so far. More reason and less emotion is my advice.

When it comes to the Traditonals I have more influence than you may realize. There are just a couple of them that give me a hard time, but most of them understand why I speak in the manner that I do, and agree with my thoughts on many things.

I can't say the same for the Progressives, since they utterly despise me. Then again, their opinion of me doesn't really matter.

We all know you to be a progressive. So don't even go there!
last time I checked, members who are adventist can give input into the rules that govern this forum... perhaps I am mistaken....

RC, points taken and I agree... unrealistic goals I think....

In its current state both progressives and non-progressives can give their input. But if a split takes place things will change.
