• 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.

  • 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.

When someone writes about God and uses a small g.

I tried a Unitarian church once. I ALMOST walked out when some one went up to speak about her own experiences. She started with an apology that she would have to use the 'G' word!

Oh my.

There's a song by Eddie Degarmo 'n Dana Key ("DeGarmo & Key") about using "the J-word". It's actually an awesome Christian song.

Pet peeve(s):
- Middle Eastern guys trying to start relationships with me (USA gal) via Yahoo Instant Messenger. GRRR.
- I live in a dorm, and I get ticked off when others can't bother flushing the toilet or can't spend two extra seconds putting the used paper towels *INTO* the trash can.
