• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Talking last night with a fellow Australian who lived and worked in the USA for three years quite some time ago, he said he thought the polarization between Republicans and Democrats had gotten much worse.

It was there when he was a resident, but nowhere near the level it's gotten to today.

The impression I get from browsing this mainly US based and activated forum is that the divide is affecting a number of things including perceptions about vaccination, civil rights, firearms control, national leadership, race, and of course claims about electoral fraud.
Look at the people America elects to high places…. Old White guys. Younger people need to get it in gear and start leading.

And I say this as an old White guy. I find it astounding that people older and dumber than me are in charge.

Thanks, Obama

I've found it best to limit what I read and restrict my engagement to edifying subjects. You can't step your mind in darkness and expect good results.

Some goes beyond ordinary politics. And could be dangerous. I want to believe most people are rational and discerning. But unfortunately, some seem susceptible to internet brain pollution. Those infected with that QAnon mind rot are a prime example.
The last two elections have proven that we gotta get a certain generation out of power in America. That generation being mine.

I noticed a decline in the quality of the covered dish suppers here in the South. Nobody cooks anymore. Everything comes from a grocery store deli.
Cooking takes away from precious online time.

Ok, step away from the edge of darkness. These things aren’t new. Don’t let the evil ones steal your peace.

Thanks, I never will because Jesus has given us the covenant of peace and He doesn’t take it away. Glory to God.
