• 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.

Uh. It was not a holiday! If you count the days, it was actually 40 days from the time I started fasting from the Internet until today. See, NECF (National Evangelical Christian Fellowship) organizes this yearly 40-day fast and pray for our nation. And so I decided that I would fast from the Internet, same as I did last year. That's why I wasn't online. I wasn't partying, I was praying.

Or at least, that's how the theory* works. In reality I ended up indulging myself in antique games like Stars!, Diablo II and Total Annihilation with quite a bit of the extra time.

Anyways, I'm back!

*the layman definition, not the scientific one. If only it was the scientific one.
