• 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 wanted to open up discussion about the map, since I believe it has a whole slew of clues. What we know is that the map was started by Radzinsky, and continued by Kelvin. We don't know if Desmond has put any work into it. Interesting to note that there is printed words in English, and cursive words in Latin. One set by Radzinsky and one by Kelvin, maybe?

Here are two pictures of the unadulterated map:

Interesting... the Hydra/Scorpion hatch still isn't on that map.

Makes me wonder about the validity of the second island that Benry & Friends are on.

Makes sense to me, it's on the other island and Radzinsky only knows about this one. The other island would have to be viewable from someplace within a 54 minute walk of the Swan

Why 54 minutes?

108 minutes to push the button, so 54 out and 54 back.

But now that I think about it, one watches the button and the other goes searching. We already know that Kelvin went off and left Desmond behind

Back in time to press the button.
