  • 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

ArmeniaDiaspora.com - News from Armenia, Events in Armenia, Travel and Entertainment | Equal Rights?: Armenia submits draft law on non-traditional religious organizations to Venice Commission

The article above is very non-specific and not entirely up to date (or that correct), but the recent revisions being proposed right now would:

  • Prohibit preaching to anyone under 14 years of age.
  • Ban "soul-hunting", defined as "improper proselytizing"
Christianity Today, October 2011, p. 14.

I think it is a wonderful new rule, and I hope it passes. :)

You're FOR the limiting of the spreading of the gospel?

IJWTS, sometimes I feel overly opinionated, even for the interwebz. To lurk or not to lurk...

IAJWTS, another seeming side effect of my meds I've noticed lately is my attitude of not caring if I upset someone with what I feel is the truth is rearing it's ugly head again. Better tempered at times now but still something to watch. Some could call it self esteem but I still feel a lack of that, it's more of a "just don't care what people think". hmmm If I get out of line feel free to smack me lol

To children who cannot understand the concepts presented, definitely. Also the change of tonality in the gospel message would be extremely welcomed.

On the Armenia thing, I would assume that does not apply to parents with their own kids?

With that exception I'd agree with Sean on this. I wouldn't want some teacher or random scout leader or whatever trying to teach my kid about being Hindu or Muslim so I don't feel it would be right for me to teach someone else's kid about Jesus.

My own kids however, when I hopefully eventually have some, is a different story. People should never be told how to raise their kid when it comes to religious beliefs.

Henrietta, I think the most important question is: What did you make? I mean, Are you okay? :p

I'm fine. Just can't bend my right pinky finger right now. And I made healthy gourmet food: pepperoni pizza. :p And I realize I used the term "cooking" loosely. :D

IJWTS-Tonight will be the German Club's first movie night and we'll be watching Finding Nemo. Should be interesting.

I love that movie! I used to own it, but then gave it to my brother for my nephew. I used to watch it in non-English languages, even though I didn't understand it, for fun. :D

So after tonight will you be able to translate "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." OR "Mount Hockaloogie" for me?

:D
