  • 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.

hey guys there is a "non-denominational" church not to far from my house and there membership has recently grown by leaps and bounds since they became non-denominational. but anyway thats not what bothers me. they seem to do some stuff to me that seemed weird. i always just kinda wrote it off. but recently I stumbled across one of there "meetings" and let me say it was scary. turns out they have these "meetings" out in the woods in this clearing and they play a trumpet to signal the start of the meeting or something but its not like they play a song. they just blast the horn. i dunno but should I be worried that they are some kind of cult brain washing people?

as to " wierd " I got spanked for using that word in another section ....

It sounds like a smart idea to me. You make it sound like you have something different and special, and you meet in this hidden location in the woods. That would probably have a lot of appeal to people, especially teenage males. It sounds like nothing more than a gimmick to me, but there could be more to it, who knows.

Good Luck and we will be praying for you :crossrc:

I recommend you bring a camera, or a small camcorder to discreetly tape it so you can document and show us what happens. Also, if there is some funky stuff going on out there a.k.a. cult like you could give to the proper authorities that there are some weird stuff going on in this church. I say discreetly because you don't want them to see that you are recording it. You could say it is for a class project or something. But I doubt that would work.

I am sure nothing will happen and we are just over exagerating. But you never know :eek: :scratch:
