• 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

When did this happen?

I don't get into the word games myself. There's really only a couple of threads in GE50 that I do get into. However, if you've got something on your mind and want to start a thread about it I imagine you'd get some good feedback.

One crucial don't: Don't go into GE50 charging that they play too many games and don't have enough serious threads. That's been tried and it came to a bad end. Justifiably so, in my opinion. Just start your thread on the serious subject you want to discuss and things will go much easier.

I think I DID do that awhile back and did not get much feedback so I gave up. I also MAY have commented that they play too many games (after the fact). But you can ask dayhiker, no one seems to want to talk about anything I start a thread on, that's why I'm not doing it anymore. I'll get alot of views but not that many posts and it's so discouraging, why bother? I'll just comment on the few threads we manage to keep trickling along here lol.

I can count all the threads I've started since 2000 anywhere without having to take off my shoes. Never did get a lot of feedback, some threads got locked (one of which I knew when I started it that it was going to get locked) but if something is on my mind I just might start another one.

We've got a couple of posters on CF that can't seem to get through a day without starting five new threads. I wonder how they come up with all that stuff.

Well for me, I'm always baffled that hundreds of people will post on a thread like "Whats you're favorite color?" but not to something of more substance, but that's just me. I've always been a deep thinker (God made me) very analytical, and I don't like to argue but I do like to understand, and I CAN accept that others think differently without attacking them.

I remember how surprised I was when it finally dawned on me that most people weren't interested in my profound thoughts. But as I came to understand the diversity that God created us with, only then could I start to look at others with appreciation. But of course those who love to sit and knit still had not inkling of how interesting the thoughts I wanted to share with them where. So its never gone both ways.

OK, my profound thought for the day!
