• 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.

Hi, everyone! I've been busy making a quilt for a fund-raiser so I haven't been on a whole lot today, except over in the argument .......... eh.... debate forum getting all kinda riled up after some good old-fashioned baiting from some of the members who are excellent at doing that and then reporting my posts. :sigh: So I'm not in a real good mood. Sorry. :(

I'm sorry, Dawn. :hug: I know what that's like...

I hope your night gets better. :hug:

I can't go there - too scary:eek::eek:

I prefer staying here where it's nice and safe and folks are nice to each other - extra hugs for you just for venturing into a debate forum:hug::hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry, Dawn. :hug: I know what that's like...

Thanks, guys. :groupray: Didn't mean to vent here, it just came out. I should just try to stay away from there but it's hard, that is where I was confined when I first came to CF for the first year and a half, and I keep hoping that I will be able to help someone there the way I was helped. :sigh:

I used to spend all my time there when I first came to CF four years ago. That is a tough forum to debate in. They seem to think they know Scripture better than anyone, but they don't know it at all, because they don't have the faith that it needs to be mixed with.

Memories...

Dawn, I am so glad that you are here, and you came to the Lord. :hug:

You used to debate in the Unorthodox Theology/LDS forum? Did you have a different name?

No, I had the same name.

Maybe I am thinking of a different forum. It was one that non-Christians could ask questions in. Some of those questions were tough.

I was thinking about this, Edie. That's great advice for Dawn.

I found the non-Christian forums difficult for that very reason--they would bring their friends and gang up on me. In the end, I resorted to using the Word of God--who can argue with that? Well, they did anyway. But I have to believe that the Word which is living and active and sharper than a two-edged sword would somehow not return to God void. I still believe that.

I'm thinking of going to bed, too. My reps won't be available for a while and I don't think I will be up then anyway. I'll see everyone bright and early (for me, anyway. :p )
