• 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.

caelda, i am sorry. i mis-quoted....mis-read your post. i was reading "insulting catholics is no way to get your point across" oops. i came across as demanding an explanation because i know that some catholics have claimed that the series is degrading or demeaning to them, without even reading the books. sorry for the boo boo

i am 1/2 way through the glorious appearing, and am milking it a bit, since this is it. awesome series. imho.

Sorry for being snippy. You caught me on a really, really bad day.

How did GA turn out? I'm only in the middle of the third book. I kinda "stuck."

I used to disagree with the views held in this book, I didn't even want to call it the rapture, but reading them has helped me understand, and come to agree with, their view of end times. It makes total sense to me.

I believe they did do their research. Their POV makes sense to me in ways I can't begin to number.

I agree...insulting non-catholics, and calling something "bunk" doesn't make your point, and doesn't win anyone to your point of view. I may disagree with catholicism, but I never call it bunk...never.
