• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Well...I'm here

Welcome Andy!

Well, I'm new here and I suppose I expected CF to be what you perhaps knew it to be back when. In my short time here I've encountered Atheists, satanists, contentious people who thrill at argument for argument's sake, "christians" in support of immorality, "christians" who don't believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, "christians" who advocate a variety of sins as "normal" and "good." I suppose however that is indicative of the world we live in (Amen, so please come soon, Lord Jesus). It is spiritual warfare and this site is a major battlefield.

I suppose in light of all that I've naturally gravitated here, to CC. I hope to be able to contribute and find encouraging Christian Internet fellowship here - to "meet" as many of you as I can. I pray we not lose heart, but build up one another to love and good works. :groupray:

God bless you all! :amen:

Amen. For me, CC isn't really about something like small government, but instead is about trying to find fellowship on a site that now suffers from a spiritual sickness that is dark, very dark.


And showing no signd of recovering in the near future.

I was informed today that Erwin has the site up for sale.

Mind you, maybe that will be for the best in the longrun, given the way he has made a mess of things

I knew it!!!! I knew it! I knew it!

I said it on the day he changed the forum name that he was attempting to make it more commercial. I knew it!

Oh, I am steaming mad right now! :mad:

Indeed. And I was told this by a person of extremely high integrity. I'm not normally one for gossip and I take rumours with huge amounts of salt, but this I believe, and, as you pointed out, explains a greta deal

I wonder how much he wants for it?

Hi Andy....:wave: Sorry about coming in so late into this thread, but people here know I usually come in around the 20th post...;)

Thank you for your kind words and they are taken with gratitude from me. I too used to travel all over this board, but honestly, I've mainly stuck in this area. The range of people here is amazing and we get along pretty well...:) I feel more at ease here than I have anywhere else. I do hope we make it very welcoming to others and make it a refuge for people searching for an area to fellowship in. We have our moments, but we have a metal bat on stand-by....;)

As this place is getting more and more popular, a thought just occurred to me.

Most of the other congregational forums have a fellowship thread. OBOB has Reilly's, STR has the Alehouse, the Lutherans have a Bierhouse etc.

Be cool if we had something similer here.

Well, since we are crotchety conservatives, I believe we are using our "venting" thread for fellowship! :D

Welcome home, Andy. You're not the only non-conservative who has found a home here. I believe that Criada found herself in the same situation. :hug:


I might have a go at getting something started all the same.

Thanks for the welcome. Good to be here.

Hey Debi

Good to see you again

Thanks for the welcome.

I also believe I will like it here

How long I will be here is another matter though because I am no longer prepared to sit back quietly and just accept what is happening out there.

One wonders, therefore, how long it will be bofore I find myself banned.

You won't. Hi Andy. :hug:

Welcome Andy, ya might remember me as "menno", hard to keep up with the name changes ;)

I thought I knew you!
