• 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.

your favorite thing about cf

My favorite thing is the fellowship. I love how active these forums are. It's nice to have forums to go to where there welcoming and intelligent Christians (although the non-Christians tend to be fabulous here too).

My least favorite is the whining (bemoaning being single or whatever, complaining about the opposite gender in non-constructive way, and other behaviors that make me want to give someone a time out and a pacifier). You could say that people are naturally going to be down about being singles sometimes, but I see a lot of unnecessary whining on other places within CF too.

The good far outweighs the bad IMO.

I liked the way things were before the big update (especially the old avatars and controlled sigs) too.

My favorite is the large and active Orthodox community here. We're a minority in the US so to be able to communicate with so many brothers and sisters is edifying.



My least favorite is the polarization in the theology forums. You're either a Protestant that says "Bible Only", walking down the straight and narrow path; or you're a loony that blindly obeys 'meaningless traditions'. *eye roll*

Hmmm..........I'd have to say what I like most about CF has got to be the people. There are so many great members here!:wave:

What I like least is the cat fights and nastiness that sometimes occurs. I'm a moderator so I'm supposed to get people to stop doing these things by doing my job. This is problematic, though, as I don't want the flaming to stop just because "it's the rules", I want people to want to stop fighting, if that makes sense.

1. I really like the people here and the intelligent (and sometimes silly) discussions that go on.

2. I really wish the Singles area would get over this whole "men vs. women" aspect that's been going on. Some of the men are mad because "women don't understand them" and some of the women believe that "all men are bad." There are some seriously unhealthy dispositions floating around and we should be working together instead of trying have Battles of the Sexes in every thread.

I LOVE CF. I'm currently "church hopping" around the area looking for a church that feels right to me, and I have yet to really enjoy any congregation that I've visited. CF is a great way to find fellowship and it's really fed my spirit.

As to how to improve and/or complaints... Nil.

:) Go CF.

Things to change: wish more members would understand that Mods work really hard and try our very best :)
Why? Everyone knows the mods have no lives. That's why they're mods. :p















*realizes dluvs2trvl is a mod*



Oh... crap...:doh:
