• 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

Looking for some old friends. . .

I've been away for a very long time. The forums are completely unfamiliar to me now. It says I last visited 5th November, 2007. I had become inactive long before that though. I recall I had tried logging on months after my back surgery, then quickly realized more than 5 mins at a computer was intolerable. From my private mssgs, I've been gone since Sept 2005.

It looks like a lot has changed around here. I can't say I much care for the setup. I think the interface of the old ChristianForums was great and intuitive. I'm certain the powers that be have their reasons. Officially, as a former Mod, I'd like to retroactively cast my vote against the change.

More importantly, I miss my friends here. Are you still here? I don't want to list any names, for fear of insulting any by leaving them out, but if you do remember me at all please let me know. It would be good to know some of you are still here.

Thanks everyone!

-Matthew

Hi Matthew! It's nice to see a lot of friends are still here. The "new" CF (which I'm sure is old hat now) seemed strange to me too and it kept me away. But I do poke my head in OBOB and read from time to time.

Jeff, Shelb, Steph, Photini, I recall you! Thanks for letting me know you're still here. I'd like to get back to speaking with more of like-mind when it comes to religion as living in new-Gomorrah(Los Angeles) has taken its toll on my nerves. If one of you tells me to pray so help me I'll. . .:p

Benedictaoo and Epiclesis, I shall do my best to incorporate the new names into my memories.

God bless!

P.S.- Thank you Jared. I'm quite pleased that these in particular were able to let me know they're still around.
