• 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.

Reading together?

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if we only discuss the first chapter next week -- there's a lot to talk about in there. But we'll see; once we get into it, we'll have a better idea of what works.

Btw, I'm going to be at an out-of-town seminar tomorrow and Tuesday, so I'll probably post the new thread tonight and then join the discussion on Wednesday.

Well, I still have almost four hours until it's Monday here, but I went ahead and posted a discussion thread for us. Like I said before, I'll be out of town tomorrow and Tuesday, so you may not hear much from me until Wednesday.

Let's all try to contribute questions that may help facilitate conversation, and let's welcome in anyone who would like to join!
