• 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.

Praying for Larry and Barbara. The flu has been confirmed in 3 cases in my province so I will pray for protection for all health and airline workers as well as travellers. I think the cases here are quite mild. Jan


There are no cases in California...at least that was the morning news...the news changes rapidly about the spread of this virus...Lord help us to keep our wits and our hearts focused on You and Your wisdom and mercy at this time. Thank You for Your word...Psalm 91

Wow the cases here are all very mild. No deaths described as food poisoning that lasts 5 days instead of 24 but I had what I think was Norwalk a few years ago both hubby and I at the same time and it was brutal. Not sure how swine flu is different. Jan

(from here http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N28343516.htm): "At a news briefing, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack took pains to repeatedly refer to the flu as the "H1N1 virus. This is not a food-borne illness, virus. It is not correct to refer to it as swine flu because really that's not what this is about," Vilsack said.
and
The virus contains avian and human components, and no pig so far has been found ill with the disease."
and
"I fully expect we will see deaths from this infection," said the federal CDC. - Besser said.

I say: STOP!! all this fear :eek: mongering, already!

question: What do they know?, that the general public is unaware of. :pray:
