The new CF vs the old CF, a vote

[sc4s2cg]

Just getting the word out to ya guys.

Erwin made a thread in the announcement forum with a poll. Basically, do we (members) want the new CF to continue or go back to the old CF? Link available below:

There's currently a poll going to determine the future of CF. Since no one on staff has seen fit to post an announcement here, I thought I'd do it myself. Here's what Erwin has to say:

This site at the moment is at a cross-roads, and can go either way. It can either become:

1. A safe social community site with a heavy and strong Christian influence (with the vision being to offer a safe online community, and a secondary vision being to allow Christians to outreach to non-Christians) - which will allow for a name change;

OR

2. Return to a more restricted Christians-only site with a heavy emphasis on uniting mainstream Christians only with a less emphasis on outreach, in which case we keep the name.

So, that's what is at stake. Currently option 2 has about 2/3 support.

...oops. Sorry, hadn't noticed your thread when I posted mine.

sc4s2g made a thread already. About the Christians-only future - well, if they want to be bored to death, so be it.

I vote Option One so we can fulfill the Great Commission via this site.

Ah well. Now we get to see who's more popular.

Yeah, I've requested that this one be deleted/merged/whatever

I do! I do!

I read a bit of Erwin's original thread and I'm confused. The way I understood it, option 2 means kicking out all non-Christians (and most likely the non-Niceneists too), but some posters seem to indicate that it merely means taking back last week's changes.

Yes, a lot of people seem to be voting for option 2 based on the assumption that it doesn't actually mean what it says. I think we need to be pushing for option 1 to guard against the possibility that the assumption turns out to be incorrect.

Well, it does seem impossible to unite all Christians. I know certain Baptists, Pentecosts, and 7th day adventists who will never embrace Jehova's Witnesses, Catholics, Mormons, Orthodoxy, or the House of Yahweh.

But if you reach out to "save" non-Christians, you have to be careful that they don't save you first.

Well the problem with #2 is that Erwin doesn't know what constitutes a Christian - like most Christians I'm afraid.

what is a "niceneist"?

 

[MrGoodBytes]

what is a "niceneist"?

A word I just made up, for lack of an abbreviation of "someone who accepts the Nicene Creed".

 

[KerrMetric]

Does the old CF include the cliquish Mods with their baiting sockpuppets?

Does it mean a return to heavy handed Moderation and the stupid system of Warnings given out just because you [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed off a Mods sockpuppet?

No thanks!

 

[sc4s2cg]

Merged both threads at the request of MartinM. I was the OP of the other thread.

G-d bless,

I voted option 2 by mistake.

Turkeys do vote for christams

I hope it doesn't come down to one vote in the end, but the experiment in openess seems to have upset a lot of christians for some reason, judging by the posts on the link

Haven't read this thread, but sure contains about this:

It appears that the future of CF is being determined by the outcome of this poll created by Erwin:

When I first joined this group, I noticed Mormons were excluded from the Christian collective. How does one justify that?
