• 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

can steer this society the way that God wants it to go.

If we don't, then the other side will roll on unopposed.

I didn't exactly mean that we want to brainwash anyone. I would like to see the young people, the 17, 18, 19, etc. (year olds), become hard corp writers. A sixteen year old, S.E. Hinton, wrote "the Outsiders." If she can, then you can.

I have a degree in Psychology and believe it is a useful tool.

Is using Psychology wrong? No, even Billy Graham uses gestures as a means to convey his message.

J. K. Rowling uses tricks to form group identity, and it works for her. I'd use the same tricks, and I wouldn't feel bad at all. I want to make my reader feel part of a group.

So true! We Christians need to stand up and really give it our best, remembering that God is in control, and God chooses to work thru people. :groupray:

The only problem is that the world doesn't want God. There are some amazing Xian authors out there and it doesn't really make much difference.

The book was made into a movie.


I think we can steer society. But, anyone that knows ships and how to steer a ship, will tell you that the bigger the ship is, the slower it will turn. You can't just spin one around. Society is like that. We will have to do it in small steps. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step.

I am currently on page 30 of my Screenplay that is along the lines of say Constantine - or better defined as the daily struggle against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world.

And Jonteel a normal change of scene is noted by your

EXT or INT to relay the setting.
