  • 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

:wave: Hi everyone!!
Well, I'm new here and am greatly looking forward to meeting lots of new people. I've been a Christian for ten years and have spent most of that time attending various Charismatic/Pentecostal churches, but recently joined the Southern Baptist Church. Now, my husband and I are searching for a different kind of church because our local SBC is insane.

I have "troll" in my name because I've been collecting Norwegian trolls for a long time, I think they're really neat looking. I have between 8 and 10, but plan on collecting more as time goes on. :)

Also, I am 8 months pregnant with mine and hubby's first child. :clap: It's a surprise.
God bless.

Welcome! I'm a little over 7 months along with our 1st child, a boy. I also come from a Pentecostal background, and know how hard it can be to find a good church.

The women in this section of CF are just awesome, supportive, knowledgable and friendly. Lots of wisdom here :)

Hello and welcome :) What does this mean "insane" ... my in laws go to a southern baptist church
This one, and I'm 97% sure it's only this one, cancels Bible Study from May through August because no one wants to go to church during the summer and they see it as a waste of time. :doh: They also do some other things hubby and I don't agree with, but I won't go into that. They're trying to change to an Independent Baptist Church, which is a good thing because they definately don't follow SBC guidelines.
Hiya
Welcome and congratulations. What date is your baby due?
The first part of August. :)

Hi and welcome:wave:
I'm nine months pregnant with our first and I'm from a Pentecostal background. I was also thinking something else when you said "insane." That can refer to so many things when it comes to churches.

By the way, thank you for explaining the "troll" in your name. I'm not sure if you know this but a "troll" on a forum is someone who makes up stories and situations and asks questions just to stir people up. It's nice to know that it's simply referring to a fun hobby!:thumbsup:
