The Canterbury Alehouse (25) - He died that we may live - alleluia

How unbelievably ugly CF2 is. Makes the appeal markedly less.

[TomUK]

I quite like the colours but it just looks so basic. Old CF was infuriatingly cluttered but at least it was distincitive.

Blimey Andy, you crammed enough into your character?!

[artrx]

Hi!
I just stopped by for a drink and a break from working in my studio and was shocked by all the changes! I put my character back in its old form-the new is too much for me at the moment. Hope everyone is having a good evening and remembering thier mothers this weekend (at least those in the US). ;) My daughter comes home from college tomorrow so that's my biggest gift.

[Lilium]

Good Morning:wave:

Great to see that our beloved CF has taken another small step towards normaility again (or as close to it as we ever get here:D:D:D):clap::clap::clap::clap:

A lovely late spring day here today (so far)

Sadly I have to be at work all day (such is life I guess):doh:

Still, just today and tomorrow to do, then I have (in effect) 5 days off:clap::clap::clap:. No overtime to do this week:)

Anyway, hope you have a wonderful and blessed day:hug::hug::hug::hug:

Hey goergeous:kiss:

I think most of what is still missing will eventually come back.

There is a thread in Announcements which gives quite a bit of info (as long as you understand basic techy talk - I don't so a lot of it was over my head)

[karen freeinchristman]

Hi guys!

It has been lovely weather here lately :clap:

[stephenc]

Hey Karen!

Is your character in Berlin?

See it looks a bit like it; you've got the river Spree there, with Alexanderplatz and the Fernsehnsturm in the background...

[Andy Broadley]

Hi :wave:

Another lovely, sunny morning here in England.:)

Final day at work today as well:clap::clap::clap:

Have a great day:)

Hi Andy!

Cold here this morning...but the sun holds promise!

Congrats to Laura on the new job, btw...if you happen to bump into here. I read that at "Reilly's".

FA Cup final dayx

[stephenc]

Hmmm...
That might be awkward!

[Andy Broadley]

Hmmm...
That might be awkward!

Could be an intguiging gam,e this year


Portsmouth (moderate Premiership team at best) v Cardiff from the Championship.

All the big boys have fallen by the wayside this time

[stephenc]

Yeah; then again, neither of those sides exactly makes by blood race, to put it that way.

Still, as you've said before; good honest footy.

[Sonfest Rocker]

hi

love yall
stephen we will chat soon

[stephenc]

Sure.
Take care.

[karen freeinchristman]

Hey Karen!

Is your character in Berlin?

I have no idea!
There are a few places that have needle-like buildings like that - Seattle, Liverpool, ... :confused:

Congrats to Laura on the new job, btw...if you happen to bump into here. I read that at "Reilly's".
Laura got a new job?

[karen freeinchristman]

Actually the picture in my avatar has got to be Liverpool. I can make out both the Anglican Cathedral AND the Roman Catholic Cathedral, in addition to the needle-tower building.

I can't find the whole view from the same angle, but here are the bits, separately:


the needle-shaped building and the waterfront/ferry (http://www.maddiedigital.co.uk/USERIMAGES/waterfront.jpg) (needle building is located up behind the ferry)

the Roman Catholic Cathedral (http://www.freefoto.com/images/1023/01/1023_01_2---Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Christ-the-King--Liverpool_web.jpg)

the Anglican Cathedral (http://www.nikkis.org.uk/shipcanal/index_files/image016.jpg) with the RC cathedral to the left

[karen freeinchristman]

Actually, I'm amazed, because with this view, it means my character is standing on the opposite side of the river, which is actually where I live! :O

[karen freeinchristman]

ok, so I'm the only one who is excited about that, but hey! :sorry:

[stephenc]

No; that's interesting! That would mean you're in Birkenhead, wouldn't it? Or where they make than strong soap...

[stephenc]

Mixing up Berlin with Birkenhead...^_^

[stephenc]

I once spent a coupla weeks in Liverpool. Saw the cathedrals and that. But can't seem to remember a tower..this was in 1981. Maybe before it was built, or I was more than usually off...

[Sonfest Rocker]

ok, so I'm the only one who is excited about that, but hey! :sorry:
the boat has a canadian flag by the looks of things

Here's a better picture of the tower (http://www.yourticketforliverpool.com/imageresizer/?image=%2Fdmsimgs%2FMersey_ferries.jpg&action=ProductMain).

Not exactly Birkenhead, but next-door, in Wallasey (http://www.newheartlands.co.uk/assets/images/wirral-map/map.gif).

[karen freeinchristman]

It does look kind of Canadian. But the Mersey Ferries logo is also red and white.

We're going to go visit a friend of mine who had a baby a few weeks ago.

'Grats to your friend!

Junior gets a day of "Hanna Montana", then. They need that every now and then...I think a schoolday can be every bit as tireing as a workday.

At the moment though they have a 'to do' list whish appears to be endless.

It seems to be getting better, but agonisingly slowly

I think they had a big tech problem and had to install a new server or something, which put things way back. Very frustrating and annoying though

Not sure how much online time I'll get during the next few days. Sharing a computer with a teenage daughter means that you don't get much:D

So I hope you all have a great weekend, and for those who have the extra day on monday, I hope the weather co-operates as well:)

God Bless you all:hug::hug::hug::hug:

What are you up to today, Stephen?


Hey...I missed that. Sorry Karen.

And the answer is....uhh, not much...:sorry:

Got some real exciting filing papers to look forward to this week, though! :D

[karen freeinchristman]

I just watched a program on the persecution of Christians in Cairo, Egypt.
It's hard to believe this goes on when we have so much freedom to practice our religion here. :sigh:

It's a terrible shame...and one that should be adressed more by governments.

[karen freeinchristman]

^ I agree.


Anyway, it's raining this morning. I'm off to work today - the kids are off school all week - they will go to their grandparent's today.

[karen freeinchristman]

Ugh. I'm at work now, and I'm bored. OK, I know I'm supposed to work as if Jesus Christ were my boss, but ... :sorry:

Ugh. I'm just not motivated to do this kind of work any more.

[SirTimothy]

Who was it by? I've been to Egypt a couple of times and can tell you that the persecution there is /nothing/ in comparison to other countries in the region...

Here is a summary (http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/ontv/unreported_world/egypts+rubbish+people/1518347)of what the programme was.

[SirTimothy]

Ah. Abouna Samaan. Yes, I know about that. Yes, it's sad, but to be honest with you, there's some major political shakeup going on in Egypt at the moment--it'll be very interesting to see what happpens there. I still stand by my statement that it's fairly minor in comparison to other countries in the region though.

[Andy Broadley]

Good Morning:wave::wave:

Back at work and back on CF again:clap::clap:

Just stepped off the world for four days and it was great. Logged off the computer at 5.50am Saturday morning, then drove the car home. For next 4 days didn't touch either of them:)

Good to be back though and fellowshipping with friends:clap::clap::clap:

[Mrs.Sidhe]

Just popping to say hello to you all here...

I'm not on CF much as I completely disagree with the changes at this site--in my opinion they are completely against Christ and his message. But that's just me and I better stop now before I got carted off and silenced. I would appreciate those of you who are for these changes will at least allow me the ability to nicely disagree and not feel the need to report me.

Anyway I'll be around just not to much..

:hug: 's for you all.

[TomUK]

just remember that no matter how much CF changes, we'll all still be here. The powers that be seem to have tried there best to destroy this site but it's our fellowship that makes it great.

Yep, CF is a speck of what it used to be. It's still the biggest and most diverse Christian forum on the internet. Sadly Lee has a monopoly. If all the cool people leave (ie you) ythen we're just giving him even more opportunity t warp this site from what it's can so easily be like.

Posted in one of the announcements threads this morning. Copied it to my blog for anyone who wants to read it.

I felt I had to speak out plainly on this issue.

If I have gotten myself banned by the end of the day then it was an honour to have shared this place with you guys:hug:

[TomUK]

I think you were spot on there, Andy, and I can't see anything in it which would get you banned. If they do though drop me and email and i'll be leaving too.

It had to be said, but it won't be read. That was the great thing about Erwin being a part of the forum and one of the biggest problems with CF at the moment - in order to lead a community you need to be part of it.

Except for the fact that every time Erwin made changes it was after at least 6 months away from the forums when he had no sense of how to run things. Erwin was a poor leader at best, Lee is a businessman not even a leader at best.

I'm afraid my respect for erwin went when he openly lied to us about selling the site.

For those who ARE the boss.....:eek:....:idea:....God Bless you:hug:

my respect went also plus other things I saw too.

the site is pretty much dead sadly.

I'm having a good day - got a lot done so far: laundry (1 load, washed and hung out, and another load in); counted all the Christian Aid money ready to take to the bank; did some de-cluttering (much needed) in my bedroom; ate some lovely pasta with pesto for lunch... :yum:; finished the intercessions for tomorrow's church.

DH and DS are in Liverpool today visiting the Ark Royal, which is in port for four days. It's open to the public today. (not really my thing, nor my daughter's thing, so we've stayed home).

Revelation 21:4-6 NIV
4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." 5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.

Afternoon All

Very quiet....

I thought CF was a busy site

Seems to be hardly anyone posting

[TomUK]

Andy's been banned????!!!!! Are there any plans to do a mass boycott of CF until he returns? If there is then i'll definitely join in.

The alehouse goes through random phases, sometimes it's really busy and then other times it's dead for ages.

One of the problems here is that it's such a huge site that there are many areas which can go for quite a while without anyone posting. Other areas are completely rammed.

To be honest, I have yet to find a busy area.

Everywhere seems rather quiet

[athansor]

Hi everyone
I'm new here, although In recognize a few names. I'm an Episcopal, and was recently received into the faith. (used to be an RC). I've been looking for a place for Episcopal chat, and I hope I've found it!

[karen freeinchristman]

Hiya, Athansor! :wave:

Welcome!

I'm assuming by 'Episcopal chat' you don't mean you'll only speak with bishops...!! :D:sorry:

Yes, I think you are in the right place!

[Colabomb]

greetings athansor!

You'll find quite a bit of Episcopalian Discussion here :P We've got anglicans of almost literally every sort lol ;)

[TomUK]

Woohoo, faith icons are back.

[Mrs.Sidhe]

Well hate to break up the hug fest and happy dance about the stupid faith icons being back I just wanted to say that because of Lee's newest post about his "vision" I will no longer be coming to CF at all. I won't lie and say I've had lots of fun here because I haven't though I have treasured some members here and their contributions and hope we can speak either in email or IM's or on other boards.

Feel free to look a the post and rejoyce! I'm sure that will happen.


I want to reiterate my vision for CF, something the staff and advisors have been working hard to implement in these recent weeks. I am weary with how CF has become a place of debating, strife, and infighting. My vision, simply put, is for CF to be a place for Christians to fellowship online, a hangout so to speak. While I would encourage sincere non-Christians to participate in some areas of the community, our focus is becoming much more inward focused, centering around the body of Christ which involves prayer, encouragement, edification, sharing burdens, and always forbearing one another in love. Those who want to endlessly debate against Christianity or promote other faiths than Christianity might find other boards more to their liking as CF probably won't be much "fun" for you any more. I hope this helps some to see the direction of where CF is headed.

Greener pastures await folks. Hope to see some of you around. I will check my Pm's once. If anyone wants to still chat PM me.

[karen freeinchristman]

I'm so glad LeeD has taken this turn. It's what the site was always meant to be. :clap:

I can't for the life of me understand why this post from Lee would cause you to go. I certainly hope it doesn't but if that's your choice.

I for one welcome the clarification about how he sees the site.

[TomUK]

Yep

[TomUK]

Come on alehouse - bit of life is needed!

[Andy Broadley]

This will be my final post on CF, at least until such times as there are substantial changes to this place and CF can once be considered to be a Christian site, which at the moment it patently is not.

I have made my home at www.Christianfunforums.com (http://www.christianfunforums.com/) where we now have a thriving Reilly's, which is considerably busier than here.

Be great to see you over there :)

God Bless you all. I desperately fear for the future of CF. It says at the top of the page "Where 2 or 3 are gathered"

The way things are going and the rate people are either leaving or being driven out, that will be all there ARE on CF

I have given 4 years of my life to this place and it breaks my heart to feel that I no longer have a home here, but any site that has Pagans and Satanists in senior staff positions, where anything of a conservative Christian nature is supressed...can no longer be considered a fellowship of Christians.

However, at CFF I have found the same spirit of Christian love and sgaring that existed here 4 years ago when I joined. It is a Christian site, run for Christians, BY Christians. While still a small site, it is strong and growing, whilst CF withers on the vine and must surely soon die. A great many CF folk have now also found their way to CFF and more are arriving daily.

So farewell my dear friends. I have have been given great friendship, support and love in my time here and I will miss you all greatly. I hope that I will see many of you on CFF :):hug::wave:

Hello Alehouse, is there anyone here today?

**looks around the pub, and seeing no-one there, walks around behind the bar and pours herself a half pint of ale, leaves the money on the bar, grabs a bag of peanuts and strolls out into the beer garden to await the arrival of the others :)**

I don't know if this is the introduction thread but Hello everyone :wave: From a former Episcopalian.

[GlobalNomad1960]

I have been a member on Christian Forums for some time, but not active when it comes to posting. So, I wanted to greet you all formally. I am an Anglican living in North Carolina. I also teach high school social studies at an alternative school in rural North Carolina. Please keep me in your prayers as the new school year begins.

All the best!
