  • 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.

But in this forum, it's very different. Because the progs aren't as vocal in the real church setting as they are in the internet setting

Baloney. That is where you are flat-out wrong. I make all of my concerns very well known in both my own local church and any SDA church I find myself visiting, whether it be Sabbath School, prayer meeting or Bible study. I also know many Progs who are very outspoken about thier views in the local churches as well.
In most churches what NE said is true. The Trads generally have a strangle-hold on the churches and those who don't agree are usually shut down. That's been my observation, but of course I've only lived in 16 states from coast to coast and border to border so far. I've seen a couple of exceptions in a couple local churches though. So maybe there's hope!
