  • 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.

The story behind a screen name

Heavenly Rain describes
1. What I want God to shower down on me every day.
2. what I want to shower down on others every day.
3. Heavenly rain is not a downpour, but a light consistant drizzle that is absorbed by every fiber and none is gone to waste.
4. God gave me this nickname during a dream one night.

My native american name is Tsutla Atohiya, which translates to A Fox is Barking. So, generally, I always use FoxBarking as my screen name. The reason I did not use that was because I thought it sounded too paganistic, and I wanted to get away from my pagan roots. Jacob is my first name and I like Jesus, so Jacob4Jesus was the only thing I could think of at the time. hehe

I really like your name.
Poetic-like as well.

My name means Christian Person in Japanese.
When people use the nickname "Shinja" it is funny.
The reason being, they are not really calling me a name,
but calling me "person". Yet also it sounds catchy and
rhymes with another thing I find interesting, Ninjas.

Just in case anyone just wanted to see it typed all the way out.

not enough sleep, I guess
Weeeell. I guess it's me you're talking about, huh? Yeees, it was quite funny and you looked seriously bizarre with those big 80's glasses. Somethin I'll never forget...:clap:

I came up with my name about 6-7 years ago. I call myself Xtreme because I've always done crazy things and extreme things, but mostly because I was doing crazy things no one else did in a multiplayer game I was into at the time. So that's where it came from =P.

My name it pretty easy to figure out but I'll elaberate on it a bit. After battling with infertility, depression, and suicidal thoughts I finally got closer to God this year and started to see how blessed I really am even though I can't have kids. I have a wonderful husband who loves me almost as much as Jesus does :) I go to the most wonderful church and get to be around some of Gods most precious people, I have my salvation and Jesus in my heart, my sister and I have gotten so much closer this year........I could go on and on!! So instead of focusing on what I want I focuse on how blessed I truelly am. And the 74 is the year I was born 29 years ago next month. :clap:

Hee, mine's wierd... :clap:
I have a Redwall RP character, an otter named Pearl that is very hyper. So, she's the Resident Energizer Ottermaid of one of the clubs. EnergizerOtter just stuck from there.

It also reminds me to use my energy for Christ, in a happy way.

Bonzai-a nickname my Youth Pastor's best friend gave me for whatever reason.

Wombat-the only "insult" my friend could think of when I was careless enough to slam the door in her face. I thought the two fit together well
