• 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

Hi all, I am a newbie so please don't be angry with me if this has already been posted.
This is a link to "That's my King". One of the most inspiring testaments I have ever heard.

If you have a slow dial-up connection as I do, you may not be able to watch the video. But you can download the audio (5megs). It is well worth the time to download, in my opinion.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I withdraw my offer to share this beautiful testament about Jesus Christ - my King. A most intolerant bunch, you are. If you are so weak in your faith as to be afraid you will 'see' a porn site then you have no faith.

You missed out on something wonderful.

Well, I appreciate that, but you may want to delete the post and tell people in PM as you meet them. This is considered spamming, I think. I know of at least one person who has been banned for doing something similar.

You people are unbelievable.

Sure dear, you go ahead and report.

Just wanted to share something beautiful with fellow Christians.

Hit and run? Maybe hit and leave. If you posters are an example of what this forum is about - I want no part of it. Perhaps I try another section.

Perhaps there will be more Christian-like behavior on them.

Now, hold on. You are too new to understand our reactions.

First, your post is technically against the rules. Second, you did not stick around for us to know if you were a troll or not. Third, we have been burned before with people claiming to send us to a Christian site, but instead it was something that was very sinful or mean.

There is nothing mean or sinful about the site.

:scratch:It would seem logical to me that one would check out the site before passing judgment.

Being 'new' has nothing to do with my reaction. I have been on many forums and know and understand how they work.

It seems to me that most of you over -reacted. I make no apologies for my post or my link. It is a blessing (the link) to all that hear it.

This is the largest Christian site on the internet, so we get alot of spammers. If you will read the comments, you will see that it is not personal against you, but because people have come in and sent people to porn sites. They did this maliciously and with intent to harm. I am not saying that you have done this but that we have all become wary of links by people that we do not know or who have low post counts.

It's the iternet your not well know at this site so we need to be careful because of what you may be trying to expose both us and our computers to.

Agreed, and if it is against the rules, no reasonable person should take offense.

I notice, BTW, that HBCountry wanted to inform us about that website but didn't inform us at all about himself, not by a church identification or any other of the customary personal data that might have made us less cautious.

It is not a lack of faith, but experience with wolves. You may or may not be who you say you are. Caution on any website is a needful fact of life, but if you wish to be offended about it, that is your choice.

This has become basic web etiquette for larger sites like this one. And when you consider the fact that it could be a porn bomb or even if it isn't that doesn't mean that someone is intentionaly leading to a sit full of virus or spyware. I'm not saying that he was doing this I'm just trying to offer a little better explaination to anyone new who may read this thread as far as why there is some much concern.

Ultimately, you cannot please everyone. I think any reasonable person would see that it was a matter of caution rather than a personal attack. Whatever...

And perhaps one more thing. I don't care for the idea that on a discussion forum ANYONE simply posts links and says, "Read this. You'll like it." If a discussion is going on and a link amplifies something or answers a question asked, that's one thing. But this is a discussion board, not a bulletin board.

Hey all. I can understand your concern about links directing to another place than it appears and risk having your computer wiped out or your personal data stolen, so I thought I'd let you in on a little mousing secret. If you hover your mouse over a link, (no clicking) whether it is in a forum or email etc., a little yellow box will pop up and show you the url it is going to, so that you can see if it is some wacky address or an address other than the one posted. Hope that helps some for the future with a little technique for damage control prevention. :thumbsup:

But I need to ask to make sure I didn't recently break the rules, as I posted a link to a utube video.
I knew we couldn't post to another forum. Can someone tell me what the specific infraction would have been in HB's case? It was a testimony, right? Is that really against the rules here? :scratch:

I think, emphasis, think that if the thread is started for the sole purpose of linking to another site, it is considered spamming. I am not so sure that is still true under the new rules. However, linking to an interesting site in the context of the discussion is okay. For example, if we are talking about Ancient Hebrew language, and I provided a link to the Ancient Hebrew alphabet, that would be okay to do.

The problem is that if you do not know the poster, if they are new, and they disappear for awhile, we tend to think that it may be problematic. I haven't been linked to porn, but I did have my identity stolen. Not that is related to this site, but it taught me to be very, very cautious.
