• 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

Recognition and thanks

Brothers and sisters,

Just want to give a little update. In the past 4 days there have only been 2 reports in CC, only 1 currently active. Just a short week ago we had ~15 active reports at any given point (staff's inboxes were always full)

This change is a direct result of CC members abiding by the rules and not taking the bait when it's waved in front of us. What's especially nice is the fact that we've been able to participate in threads that some would say are controversial or "red flags." We've been able to take a strong Biblical stance and state our position accordingly. All without problem because we've addressed the issues and not attacked a person.

CC staff (mods, senior mods and admins) have noticed. I'm guessing that those above CC staff (and they are watching) have noticed too.

So this morning I'm thanking God for my brothers and sisters here at CC - and praising Him for you.

You've done good folks - thank you, thank you, thank you.

Let us continue in our quest to take a Godly, Scriptural stance and let our speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that we may know how we ought to answer each person.

edie:hug:

Want to second what Edie said.

CC is becoming more peaceful every day, and modding this forum is becoming a blessing again. The change has been nothing short of miraculous, and we're so incredibly grateful. This *is* the conservative forum, and even threads which previously would have exploded have been full of learning and fellowship and kindness, with no scriptural compromise.

Thank you all, so so much :hug:

Nadiine has led the way.
Her posts are lessons for all of us lately.

Please notice, Staff, that although
conservative Christians here are
trying to be themselves, those
who come here to bait and flame
are basically allowed to do that
and people like Nadiine and all the
others who cope with that are
actually protecting the ones who
are unpleasant by refraining from
reports.

I am trying to get the hang of it,
but the rules of courtesy and good
manners that I was brought up with
don't seem to apply on CF.

That is a hard row to hoe, when one
is 63 and accustomed to church fellowship.

:sigh:

We can't read all threads:sigh:

Staff has been proactive in simply deleting some posts that we feel are baiting. However if we miss one and you don't want to report it - pm CC staff a link and we'll go from there.

We want this to work!!!

But you left because during a discussion regarding abortion,
it was discovered that you do not (or did not) agree with
the SOF of the forum. Then you cursed us and left. :scratch:

Are you not prophesying curses to us anymore and do
you now agree with the SOF?


I have to say that I'm thrilled with the way the forum is now. It's one reason I came back. :hug:

Looks like you may have spoken too soon, Belinda.

And you are speaking out of turn, Swirling Ed, not having the slightest
clue what part Belinda has played in the uproar of this forum. So,
I would thank you to keep your comments to yourself at least until
you are more informed. Thanks.
