  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

^ We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in NZ. :)

v We will be having an evening service on Christmas Eve. Are you, too?

^~~~ As I'm in between churches, that would be a "no". ;)
<~~~ Thanksgiving makes me remember my ancestors that came over on the Mayflower who were among the first participants in the national U.S. holiday of "Thanksgiving".
v~~~ Do you have any famous ancestors or relatives that you can name?

^A few.
<On my Mothers side: the Webb's who came to the "New World" on the Mayflower, Anne Boleyn (who inflenced her husband, King Henry VIII, to change the influence of the Catholic Church in their country), And on my Fathers side: James Smithson who founded the Smithsonian Institute. I have many other famous ancestors that were decorated heros in every American war fought since the 1600's. But I doubt any of their names would mean anything to anyone here.
v Do you think it has any bearing whatsoever on who you are, what family you were born into?

^ I went in, I bagged some fruits and vegetables, I went to the dairy case, got two gallons of milk and some coffee creamer and then I went to the checkout.
< I'm heading off to the gym as soon as I post this.
v Do you have carpeting in your home? And if so, what color is it? (stupid question I know...but I'm in a hurry...hubby's waiting. ;) )
