• 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 Will It Take?

Its 12:30AM in melbourn australia. Bedtime.

So say you are 21 1/2 hrs ahead of me.
I'll think about that: I'm dyslexic; so it takes me a bit to visualise something.

It helps me to know when different people around the globe tend to come on line.

I get two big lumps. Brits and Europeans, in fairly much the same time frame as me.
The USA (5 to 8hrs behind me) coming in when their working day finished. So, if I stay online too late, say till 1am; then I can be live with the early evening USA post-work traffic.
With the unpopulated Atlantic in between, there is no progressive coming on line: and the N&CE on CF does not seem to pull in too many people across the Pacific. Soen NZ and Aussie maybe

Yup and it would have been better to let Saddam keep dropping people into plastic shredders, dipping them in acid, having women raped in front of their husbands, and all sorts of things. At least this way the tragedy stops eventually.
When America does something like this, God honors it because we're a Christian country and He favors us.

When Iraq does something like this, God is punishing them because they're a Muslim country and God hates them.

Uhmmm -- I think I'm going to stick with my analogy to the prophet Jeremiah.
Huh???? When had America dropped people into plastic shredders?? Dipped people in acid?????
