• 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.

I was a Water Control Officer at one time with our Dept of Water Affairs, and I lived amongst the farmers, 200 miles from the nearest city and 8 miles from a hard top road.J

Anyhow, one of the farmers gave me a live sheep once as a present. I could not slaughter it myself. So I took it to another farmer friend who did the dastardly deed himself, and even had the meat cut up into chops and cutlets, etc.

I’m used to buying my meat on a supermarket shelf, not on the hoof. No, I couldn’t be a hunter.

I love the outdoors, and do go fishing, but I can’t understand the tourists who come over to our country to shoot lions or even buck.

Jennie,
I have much to tell you. It is good to see you. My computer at home should be up and running again by friday, so I hope to chat with you on AIM then. God bless you in your travels. I'll light some incense before my icon of St. Nicholas as a prayer for you this evening.
Peace,

Can't wait to hear everything... ^_^ I'm still on the hunt for St Nicholas that mom has.... and will continue to hunt unless I go under for the rather copious amounts of dust my dear mother has.... :sick:
If Border and Customs personnel scoot me thru I should be home around 8. :D

I hardly ever venture into the Theology fora... why bother if they're not going to believe what you say?

Not to mention if you're not going to believe what they say! Of course, I remember a time when I used to debate my eyeballs out trying to convince people that I was correct on certain issues and they were ignorant and, well, wrong. Then on some things I lost my own confidence in some things, and so I stopped debating, and then I realized debating seemed futile. But it was part of the journey, and still could be. Am I rambling again?

Am I mistaken or has the place gotten more conservative as time has gone on?

It seems to me we had a lot more sentimental stuff about "unity" and "reunion" back in the beginning, some of it posted by me.

I think the place has improved and become more Orthodox. :thumbsup:

Well, you can count me in as a liberal person who is Orthodox and sticks around TAW, in spite of my not always agreeing with some of the politics discussed here and there and this and that and even some issues directly related to Orthodoxy. I trust my liberalness doesn't taint the place!

A very good idea. :thumbsup: I'll have to bring a different shirt to wear tomorrow...it's pretty hot these days and I'd hate to come back to my desk after a walk in that stuff without changing first!

We also have many flights of stairs of which I may take advantage in hot weather.
