  • 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.

Mine has two meanings, and one I'm willing to share. There was an inn in England where theologians met to discuss theology, and it was the ideas shared here that supposedly helped spread the Reformation across Europe. It was called the White Horse Inn. Incidentally, some of my friends have added a third meaning to my name, one I didn't have in mind at all when I selected the name, but I've decided it's a keeper: the white horse that Jesus Christ rides at the end of time.

Does mine really need explaining? :p

I used to have the name PuppyforChrist somewhere else on the Internet but I forget where. It actually DOES have a story behind it.

See I'm a new Christian as one might say. I'm a baby Christian. I've only known God for 2 years. I picked the word "Puppy" not just because I love dogs, but because they are little young baby dogs. And I'm a baby Christian.

Got that? Alrighty..

Now you all know why I picked "Christ". I love God of course. So in my opinion, "PuppyforChrist" basicly means, baby Christian.

Hope that all made sense. :sorry:

Well I was reading Exodus a while back (NLT version) and got to 17:15; "Moses built an alter there and called it 'The LORD is my banner.'" I thought that sounded really cool, and looked to the foot note for the Hebrew transliteration, which was 'Yahweh Nissi' - which I also liked the sound of. When I joined CF I was thinking about my username and this sprang to mind.

Mine came form my last place of employment. the Ahwatukee Foothills News. I suppose I could have used Ahwatukee but I didn't live there, I lived in Mesa which is close, but I didn't think it fit.

besides not many people know how to pronounce Ahwatukee when they read it. :p

Puppy, those are two of the cutest dogs I've ever seen. What are their names? I'm assuming those are your dogs....or aren't they?
Nope, just random pictures I used off the Internet. ;) I never did have a dog, but all my life I've wanted one. :)

well... my mom was trying to help me with a name for my e-mail several years back and it seems like after 20 minutes of trying to get one and kept getting rejected (name already used) she thought we would try red (for the color of my hair) and goddess for as most moms thinks their daughters are soo beautiful. that's it!!

Mine can carry two meanings:

1: Quiet=I'm usually the reserved one of the bunch
Storm=When I do say something, it's usually advice or insight that no one ever would have thought of. Therefore, powerful like a storm.

2: Quiet=In private time with God (prayer, worship, quiet time, etc.), I usually don't say one word (verbally).
Storm= Although I usually don't say anything, it's still the most powerful thing I do and is effective as though I were screaming at the top of my lungs.

This is really neat! I like muy mucho.
