• 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.

Hi NumberOfStars, I'm online now.
This isn't actually a picture of me.

My wife got a scam message from Facebook Messenger. It was from the account of our former pastor.

Apparently, this is a somewhat common thing now. The hackers use a very realistic looking but fake Facebook login page. Someone enters their password, and then the scammers message their friends. But it comes from the actual Facebook page of your actual friend.

That happened to me with one of my former youth kids
One of the clues for us is that our former pastor is a man a few words. But suddenly this morning she started getting all these chatty Facebook messages.

When we sent him a text message (separate from Facebook) telling him we thought his password might have been compromised, he replied with:
thanks

I said to my wife, now that sounds like the real him!

I chatted with the supposed youth kid a bit but then he started talking about getting free money, so I asked where we met and there was no response

Yes, a simple question that the real person would know... good idea!
