• 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.

Here to make peace with online forums. Forums to me can be problematic, however I live for every problem there is a solution. I live with unique circumstances, that make it impossible for
me to be part of any community. However it does allow me to connect with God and also focus on my home and my family and getting that right.

I would be happy just to connect with one person that doesn't make it impossible to be part of a community. That is welcoming. In my life and what I have lived, community doesn't always mean community. It would be lovely to have a healthy connection. It would be lovely if community means community in reality. I would be just happy to have that connection with one person to begin with, because I have learnt from many communities, not to participate. Just be there, but don't interact.

So for me, here to begin a journey of making peace with online forums. It would be lovely to have that peace with my generation to begin with. Hello to this part of the forum.

I had a little look at Lismore Island online. Its beautiful.

There are different areas in Australia with Celtic, UK names, its a way of remembering history. Emigrated, or sent here long ago, never to return. I think the new life being made here is a work in progress. I haven't been to Lismore for awhile. it made me smile, in remembering.

Do you live on Lismore Island?

It's a beautiful Island, I used to go there every year on holiday:

Walk Lismore



It's a small world! Many people from Lismore must have emigrated to Australia and made a new life there!

God Bless You :)


Sorry, getting use to being back in a forum again and having to reply to different people on the one post. I did reply to you, see above.

I live in East Scotland, Lismore is in the West- I go West every summer for holidays :)
We are similar. I also live in the East of my nation but the West Side, in a quiet place. I also had a little look on line at East Scotland, its beautiful from the small look I saw. Its also very similar to some places in our nation.
