• 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.

Read here 1st before posting STICKY

Sounds good, except I doubt that it would have cut down much on the reports. Then there's those who claim to be SDA, abide by all 28 fundamentals, but don't have the love of God for their fellow human being who is in pain burning within them--can you ban them? Or, tell them to stick a cork in it?

I'm sorry I didn't include the ;)--I thought the "stick a cork in it" would have been enough. OTOH ...

I think that would be fine once the debate/discussion forum is created. We have enough rules for it in place now that we could and should be using it and begin to use the main forum the way that our wiki rules have outlined.

I think it should be up to ME to moderate this forum. What do you think. Stone has better things to do. m sure you could put a read before posting but it will do no good. Like the split thing is so stupid. There has been separate forums ( sub-forums) all along and a section for NON-christians to ask questions about the ADventist doctrine and beliefs, but alas we still have debates and arguments. When will the madness end.
