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.

Three ministers get together to discuss baptisms, one says, I'll sprinkle some water and, I'm good.
The next one says, I'll lean him forward and backwards into the water and, I'm good.
The last one is pentecostal and he says, I'll hold them under them under until they are really repented...

This happened when I used to be Pentecostal and attended a Pentecostal church.
Mother and I were to sing a duet. She could not find her note, so we had several false starts. Unwisely, I tried singing her note, but that just sent her on a warbling search into the wild blue yonder for her note. I started giggling. I thought, "G-d's gonna get me for that!"
Finally, she found her note and we finished the song. I was still thinking, as we left the podium, "G-d's gonna get me for that!" I thought surely I would, then, fall down the three steps. I didn't. I thought I would trip on the carpet at the altar. I didn't. I thought, "Ah! Home free!"
And as soon as I thought that and stepped on the tiled aisle between the seating arrangment, my feet flew out from under me! I thought I hovered, flat, in the air for a moment, then I crashed flat on my back!
Landing, I burst into unglorious, loud laughter at the whole situation and realized that many in the congregation were laughing -- out loud, little snickers, snorting, and every other imaginable type of laughter! And the usher was notably loudest!
I finally settled down and began to try to get up, when an extremely beautiful old lady leaned toward me and whispered loudly, "Are you all right, dear?"
And the whole thing struck me all over again, sending me back to the floor in renewed gales of laughter.
Finally, I was able to get up and find my seat, but I kept thinking, "I am getting married here in a couple months: will I repeat this then?"
Sorry -- it didn't happen at the wedding. But if it had, that would have made the story twice as fun!!

Oh that reminds me of when I went with my mother to England for a weekend of inner healing at Ellel. It was all very serious and one woman was teaching something and she said: I saw a big tree and it was full of acorns, which sounds exactly like the Dutch eekhoorns which is squirrels, so since we didn't know all those words we thought: WOW!! She saw a tree full of squirrels, normally you see only one once in a while. So my mom was amazed and me too and then she said other things, it made no sense and then I understood she just meant acorns, but my mom didn't get it yet and was still so enthousiastic about those squirrels in the tree, so I said: pssst, and whispered during the lesson. We just couldn't stop laughing and all those people were so serious, we just went outside, because I couldn't stop laughing anymore and they weren't used to it.
