• 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.

What things are OK on the Sabbath?

Hey Dave-W, I like your new photo.

I had been staying away from my computer on the Sabbaths, but I turned it on yesterday (Sabbath), so I could continue a PM conversation with a Messianic friend. Sometimes you just have to do what you feel is right. It seemed to comply with the basic commandments set out about the Sabbath.

Thanks - the little guy is growing like crazy. (But still no teeth at 6 months - what is up with that??)

I sometimes also check email on the sabbath but it is rare.
