  • 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.

Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (10)

I'm going to try getting my job back bagging groceries at a local supermarket, and do that until I get my bachelors degree next year. Ever since I left that job I've made no money, ive gained weight, Im not as happy when I work, I never want to work. Both my jobs since leaving have been worse jobs than I was doing. I realized I should have just stayed. But I let people make me feel bad for still working a grocery store bagging. It was an easy job, I was good at, I was making money, plus it was fun. I should have never let people make me leave. Hopefulley I can get back...

matt, i hope and pray that you get your job back!!

i was approached this morning by an elder, who told me that my name had come up during an elders meeting (my knee-jerk reaction was "what on earth did i do??" LOL) - they've asked me if i would consider being on one of the boards....i'm a little gobsmacked, but i told him i would think about it.....prayerfully considering either the parish school board or the evangelism board....

Matt, I hope you get your job back. People can really mess with another person my saying those kind of things. My son sacked groceries while going to school.

alexnbethmom, prayers for you as you consider these two positions.
