• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Please, advice about donating..

Please,
i'm seeking for your feeling or advice about my moral and christian donating at CF.

Indeed,
i never donated, but i use the forum enough to feel spiritually wealthier, and thus the question occurs to my mind.
But, first and foremost, i thank CF for the services it proposes

Even if donating, you probably guess it won't rival the gift of the poor widow of the Scriptures.
It'll remain a modest gift, not specifically for CF (even if not indifferent), but rather for my own self centered feelings of righteousness.

A parameter, that i believe not very relevant is :
It looks in my own and thus subjective perception of CF ressources that CF's other donators are far wealthier than i am, and still less relevant : i feel like my country, France has become poor, or spending above what it should. You could say : "give back France what is his, and to God, as well". Actually, i think it wouldn't be unrelevant.

Another parameter a bit complacent with my conscience, is : May be my participations at the friendly exchanges of ideas is a bit compensating, and the gratuity of CF' services testifying of christianism.
But indeed, if i find this complacency as easy as the yoke Jesus speaks of as being his, i am yet looking for where to position the "cursor of donation"

Which behavior, please, from to donate or from not to donate do you think would be the more christian one ? (i'm not questionning quantitatively, but qualitatively : yes or no)

When you donate you get CF free of advertisements. That's one of the main reasons why most of us donated the $10 or $15.

Thank you, Servus.
It's a pretty good reason, indeed
That's one reason. Another is genuine support. I've gotten a lot out of CF which is worth a few dollars.
