• 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.

My Body, My Chip



Applied Digital Solutions has announced VeriPay, a payment system that lets consumers pay for transactions via microchips (called Verichips) that are implanted beneath their skin. The Verichip is a tiny radio frequency identification (RFID) chip, and the technology has already been implanted in many people. VeriPay scanning would eliminate the possibility of lost or stolen RFID payment devices. Christian groups have blasted the company, calling the implants “the mark of the beast” (Referring to Revelations 13:11-18).

In a world full of identity theft, this implementation makes sense. And, if we didn't understand that something of this nature will be required of people, to their damnation, not understanding the evil that is (eventually) behind it, then it would just seem to be the next obvious step in our ever complex and dangerous society.

Be glad you do have the understanding of where this is heading, this is the time the world gets used to the idea of this type of thing--they will be conditioned to accept it willingly when it becomes required (and fashionable) upon pain of death.
