• 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

Really? I didn't know that.

Yep. It's called a ChiRho, which is just an abbreviation for Christos in Greek. It's still used frequently in more orthodox or liturgical settings, but it's no different in usage from a cross or a crucifix. You can read more about it here: Chi Rho - Wikipedia

George Harrison. Recently got into the Beatles.. George Harrison writing my favorite Beatles song "Something". Although I plan to rotate between the different Beatles every few weeks.

My current get up is a picture I found, which I think is pretty cool.

"Tone" is a play on one of my names...and some other stuff.

Because it is interesting to see how many people assume any German WW II officer was a loyal Nazi. Even the most famous (but far from most important or central) member of the German resistance.

Claus von Stauffenberg - Wikipedia

An even better choice than when I picked him as it seems many confuse loyalty to their fuhrer with patriotism.

I just think Hobbes is cool. I see him here just pondering life's mysteries......or else trying to decide whether or not to tell Calvin not to throw his brussel sprouts at the babysitter's head.

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to but is your real name Tony or something?

Oh, that's pretty cool but I never heard of him.

One of my names (I won't say which) is the long form of Tony.

Calvin and Hobbes - it's a classic cartoon. I could read them over and over!!!! It's a six year old boy [Calvin] who believes his stuffed tiger toy [Hobbes] is real.

That's alright you don't have to say but I'm guessing that it's either Anthony or Anton. (Sorry for the late response something came up.)
