• 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

I've made my decision.

I would like to start by apologizing for violating the confidentiality agreement in my previous post. It was not my intent to do so and I even tried to hide everyone’s identity so that only my faults would be shown in the PM. The whole purpose of my previous thread was to show what I was being accused of and to seek council from the individuals who elected me as moderator.

The second part I would like to address is why I wanted to be a Mod for the CCC. Which as simple, CF or FORU.MS has become less than friendly to some CC positions and I wanted a safe heaven for CCs. Unfortunately as you have seen wherever else we go in this website sometimes even here we are attacked. The bible can be freely attacked but the hypocrites in this website cannot be rebuked. It was expressed that one as a moderator should be objective, in that sense to enforce the rules. Well as a CC, I would enforce the rules created by you my beloved CC’s since I know your commitment to Christ. No matter who you are, as a Christian your duty is to follow Christ and love him with your heart soul and mind. The way the rules are set up, is to purposefully attack CC’s and isolating us to a pocket. We cannot rebuke homosexuals and cults that are freely called Christians. Can I as a true believer of the Gospel stand by and watch this? Nope. I am sorry for any of you here I have been a burden for, I love each of you. I would like to further thank for those of you who have supported me such as Greenmunchkin, Desmalia and MrJim.

Finally I would like to express my disappointment for those so called Conservative Moderators here and in the Theology forum. And no, it wasn’t all of them but those who were you know who you are. I have yet to find out one with a true Christian spirit can destroy the Gospel while being “objective.” I have been accused of being irrational, too young, or being special that’s why I did this. Well it’s neither of those. It’s the fact that I stand here seeing my brothers and sisters are attacked, sin and perversion being openly promoted and anyone who says anything about it being silenced. If I stand quiet through this I will destroy my conscience and it will violate everything I stand for in the Gospel. These mods keep telling me that we are hold to a higher standard. This standard is the rules which pervert the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The fact that they would use this standard and shove it down my throat more than proves to me I don’t want to be here and be a Mod. Effective immediately, I quit my moderator responsibilities and for now this website. Maybe later I will see some of you here; I will miss you while I’m gone. I know that some of you have encouraged me to stay and say that if I quit the liberals win. Sorry, but in this website the liberals have already won. Pray for me.

I feel a little sick. Please come back some time, ok? If only to let us know how you are, and to see how we're doing :(

You're our brother and you are very much loved, by us and by the Lord. Not even sure you'll see this, but your integrity in Him is so encouraging, and such a blessing.

Gonna miss you, bro :hug::hug:

God bless you very, very much. xxx

I don't know you very well but I know that you love the Lord and I respect you for wanting to uphold His standards and not the standards set up by For.ums.

I will pray for your return because we really need strong, zealous Christians to represent Jesus Christ to a lost forum.

God bless you. :hug:

I am sorry to see you go. I for one believe that you would be a great moderator for us. :thumbsup:

Sometimes, when the enemies attack us with arrows, we responded and sometimes our responses may not be acceptable to others. A Christian's and standard of moral living are not private matters but rather they are critical issues of faith and discipleship. A Christian life in this world should be different from the world, being in the world but not of the world.

I surely hope you reconsider and continue be our moderator. :groupray: We all make mistakes and we can learn from them.

As conservative Christians, our task is to faithfully pursue God's Holy standards by sharing our beliefs and pray that the Holy Spirit convicts them to change their minds.:bow:

I will miss you sorely, NewGuy. But, I understand and respect your decision. I'm sorry that you went through all of this, and I agree with a great many things you've said re: respect for liberal positions vs. conservative ones.

:prayer: I will pray for you, of course!!! Much love to you for taking a stand and following your convictions. God bless you for that, and all you do...

Sincerely,
Tangeloper :hug: :hug:
