• 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 agree...GM does a fantastic job. :thumbsup:

I think there are some in this forum who think that the mods should side with them whenever they report something. Thing is...we have rules we have to follow. Each case is unique. And sometimes that means we can't do what they want us to do. :(
Yes, I think that's what people think too.

Honestly, since the rules lightened up more on this site, I like that I can say more in defense of myself or a cause/issue rather than have to report everything like before.
it's becuz my hands were so tied before that I had to almost fully rely on a Mod to referee for me - now I can handle my own (to some extent- some things should be reported)

Like I said, I wouldnt want your job for all the tea in china.

You mods are expected to be all things to all people, which when you have a dozen different factions pulling you in different directions, cant be easy:sigh:

You are either too mean
to biased,
not hard enough,
too hard,


The list could go on

You all need encouragement, and sometimes I think more than normal due to the abuse you must get hurled on a semi regular basis:hug:

:sigh: I'm not really welcome around here, but I'd like to apologize to anyone who was hurt by Rochir's thread. It really was meant in good fun, not as a mockery of the pain being experienced here. Aside from the discussions spurred by this thread and Athene's intervention on your behalf, it's mostly been cat jokes. Believe me when I say that we all seek peace and reconciliation, not further disparity within God's church. My prayers are certainly with you as you try to negotiate life in community during times of challenge.

Thank you, DB :hug:

But, listen, you need to know you're 100% welcome here. You're welcome here, and it's a pleasure to have you here :hug:

I am with Macrina. I am taking leave of this place for awhile. I will be watching. I will help with any reconciliations, but I am not going to participate in this anymore. It is wearing me out in every way. I just found my way back. I cannot afford this kind of Spiritual damage right now.

I am very weak right now. I need some uplifting right now, but there are very few of you who are in a position to do that right now.

I am not resigning my membership, but I am not posting until this is resolved or there is at least a commitment to resolve it. I will participate in that.

Let me know if the love returns.

For my part, I am truly sorry. :cry:

Lisa

:cry: :cry: :hug: :hug:
