• 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.

  • 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's on your mind?

But honestly, the conditionalist thought is a lot more common on this site than I would have imagined when I first came here, and so you can likely still find a few threads on the subject of the nature of hell - traditionalism vs. conditionalism - in the theology or unorthodox doctrine sections here, although I eventually shied away from those threads a long time ago after this one member kept showing up to forcefully bash every one of my posts (and a lot of other conditionalists' posts, too), and so of course, I backed down and let it go. Not saying Lioness is doing this to me or anything, but it's just my unusual passiveness and fear of being aggressive in this kind of thing. Just how I am.

Yet it's considered "controversial theology".

During the Cold War, you had two queen bees in a single hive with opposing views on how to run the world. After the Cold War, the two nations are still bitter over past history of stiff competition that lasted for half a century.
Some people still aren't over it either.

The ads wouldn't be so bad. I can close a Web page. My problem is that it affects me logging in. For some reason, clicking an ad before logging in, always make my login glitch. I type my username and password, but it doesn't take. The page loads and I'm still not logged in. I have to close the page and open it back up or the same will just keep happening. So when makes it popup automatic, odds are I can't even sign in.
I get that too!! It's annoying. I also get that virus thing when I click the login button. :doh:

CF, if you don't do something soon, I might lead an Exodus.

I know to many that this is a non-issue, but I'm getting rather irate about it because I hate money scroungers.

I have AdBlock enabled, so I've never really noticed the adverts. But it seems that CF have found a way to evade the system because whenever I go to sign in I'm linked to Bet365 or some other money making website.

Hyperlinks in members' posts? Despicable. Advertising banners are one thing, but that's just pathetic.

Becoming a supporter should be a free choice, and the added perks go with the territory, fair enough. But it feels an awful lot like we're being bullied into upgrading, and that's not right. I post on many forums - none of which are Christian, and ALL of them are advert free with nothing but integrity for its members.

I have no idea why CF think that this is acceptable. I really don't. It's contrary to what this wonderful faith is all about, and a BIG black mark against the forum itself.

This post may get me into trouble, but so be it. These dodgy adverts and hyperlinks are enough to make me want to walk out anyway. I come for Christian and Non-Christian fellowship, not iPhones, free £5 bets, or lonely housewives in my area - no, I'm not joking on that one.

Sort it out CF, seriously.
Yea im not sure whats with all the ads on CF some of them are highly inappropriate. Like sometimes they have ads for horoscopes and psychic hotlines. Im like, uh..this is a christian site?!

I don't know what you peeps are talking about.

Wow, these ads must be quite annoying to see for you guys. I see a few every now and then in someone's post it seems, but I don't quite get interrupted like in Wayholka's post above or anything, especially with ads depicting things like, well, what Mojo just copied for us.

If you think that's bad, notice I said gif. It had motion.....

I look up a few fitness articles after I switched from the physical overnights jobs to the mostly sitting vision center, and CF thinks I wanna see 'transformation' ads...

I just tried that and didn't see any ads. I do have Adblock installed, which would explain it, but that doesn't mean that the advertising isn't a problem.

Ok I just saw an ad for chakra healing on this site.
And whatever bible related ads just seemed to be for known bible cults.
And whats with the russian women ad.

Do these advertisers know what a christian is? Or do they think we all gullible.

The adverts that appear are often based on whatever's on the page you're viewing at the time. So you could be reading a thread about how chakra healing is nonsense, but an ad for chakra healing may still appear because it's picked up certain words - the ads don't care about context or what the nature of this site is.

We should have a competition to add some new ratings, then the mods pick the three best ones and add them to the ratings.

Here are my suggestions:

OMM: My Mom is sick with a stomach bug and she has also been having a lot of problems with her hip (inflammation and such) lately. Some of the people we go to church with called last night to say that they will be bringing us supper tonight and not to worry about anything. It is such a relief since I am the one who does a lot of the cooking and I have apparently caught the stomach bug as well. blah. Praise the Lord for people willing to do something so kind and loving. The Lord is so good.
