  • 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

I've never seen snakes in church. Maybe a few un-repentant 13 year olds, but no snakes (I was one of those once... ;))


We have a few of those too and yes, I used to be one too :o :doh:

I thank God for the fact that once we're His He never gives up on us :thumbsup:

There just has to be better jobs, ya know? Something in an office, perhaps. There's all manner of stuff to contend with: staplers, drawing pins, that angry lady who makes the tea. On any given day, it's far more dangerous than dealing with "deadly" poison... that gives you a bit of a tummy ouchy for a little bit.

Also, how are you doing now, LBF? Are y'alreet? :hug:
I'd rather handle snakes that keep doing my current job!

Tech support.
:doh:

In the past I have not felt welcome to post in Conservative or Fundamentalist areas. This is no longer the case.

I am a religious fundamentalist, a social liberal, but firm in my beliefs for Christ. I am now getting to where I relate more to the conservatives. I have so many liberal Christian friends. They are good-hearted. I respect liberal Christianity for what it is supposed to be: a reflection of Christ welcoming the lost with open arms, saving their souls and embracing them into fellowship with Him. But this isn't what I'm seeing happen lately. In very short leaps, "liberal Christian" can become "borderline Christian, but also affirming non-Christian beliefs." Then "borderline Christian" leads to "non-Christian," which quickly becomes "anti-Christian." And if I have to choose between pleasing people, and pleasing God, which will I choose?

If you will, despite the fact that I still believe government has no business regulating who can marry whom (church has every right, but government should not), please count me among the conservatives.

I feel like I've just cut off a limb...

You are welcome here and you can go to my home page anytime you want!!!
Love you sis!!!

I read this online somewhere:
Customer email: I can't send email.
Tech support reply email: Yes you can.

True story from my personal select archive!
I used to work as a repair tech and a lady had just dropped her computer off for repair. I had just started working on it when she called. She wanted to know why she couldn't use her computer!! It took me a few seconds to realize what she was talking about.
Her monitor, mouse and keyboard were all still in place at her home. She was literally sitting there staring at her blank screen wondering why she couldn't get online!!
Me and the boys had a good laugh over that one. It took all my human composure not to laugh at her on the phone!!
We southerners have a phrase to invoke in cases like that:
"Bless her heart!!"
:p

I was in job training with a woman who thought she wouldn't have to worry about typos any more, since she is typing on a computer instead of a typewriter--the cursor would catch her error and substitute the correct letter.

Where do people get these ideas?

:D What about the person who, when told to scan a document into the computer, held the page up to the monitor like the monitor was going to "read" it?
