• 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

We know in this forum we have it good. Really, it's an awesome forum with awesome people. Maybe we're a bit too protective of it? Because really, it's in God's hands, but maybe we're trying to hang onto it so tight, we're messing it up?

Just thinking out loud...

I could not have said it better. I agree. :thumbsup:

What's that goofy saying? "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, then it's yours..." something along those lines.

I enjoy coming here and reading, even if I don't always participate. I'm considering becoming a mod for this area once I make it through my hazing period at TCL. I've watched this forum from its inception and I have seen it grow into something wonderful. That, to me, is truly a blessing to behold.

This and TCL is my home on the internet. I wouldn't want it any other way.

That is not needed right now. Yeah, we have problems right now, but you need to back off and let us work them out.

Nadine is trying even if her view is still a bit skewed, so stop with the sarcasm if you do not mind.

I was just wondering becuase when some random member of a forum tells me to back off it usually doesn't happen. So can your misplaced aggression. It doesn't become you.

I am not a random member. I am also one of the Refuge's biggest supporters. This is a private family disagreement. I know that you were seeking membership, and if so, that is fine with me, but your first order of business should not be sarcasm especially when we are in the middle of trying to heal the rifts between us.

I would say succeeding, but if you can point to anything that I said falling outside the rules, feel free to report.
Not my style, IC :)

But lemme tell you something, bro: peace will reign in this forum because we've once again handed it over to God. He owns this place, and no-one is gonna mess it up. None of us are bigger than God. Isn't that wonderful? :D

God bless you bunches!

Sarcasm is in the eye of the beholder. That is how you read it. With that kind of response no wonder you have such problems here. That is the second direction you have tried to give me. Will there be third?

Look, let's just say that we started out on the wrong foot. People are pretty battle sore right now, okay. You are coming in at the very end of that and yes, my perception was that you were being sarcastic. If you weren't, then, I apologize for jumping you. Please keep in mind that I cannot hear your tone in here and since I do not know you and under the circumstances...

Okay? I was wrong. I apologize. Let's start over.

Did you see my post on the spiritual warfare going on in the forum? Demons as pernicious as Dissention are best removed by prayer and fasting followed by rebuke in Jesus' name.

ETA: I just realized this might come off as insensitive, given what you said about not being able to eat. It wasn't my intention. I had the thought for the post in my head before I read that post. :sorry:
lol no, I actually was going to post it as a joke later, but just kinda felt a little numb.

I have a healthy sense of humor... even tho it's twisted at times heh. :p
