• 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.

Hi members :)

This announcement has been made necessary due to the increase of recent threads that have by staff decision been deemed not suitable for this forum.

The Secular Music forum is designed for members to discuss their favourtie secular music bands, singers, etc. However recently we have seen threads created that question whether listening to this type of music is ungodly, and posting several scriptures to back up their claims. Those threads do not belong here - they are more suited to a forum such as Christian Philosophy and Ethics and not to here. The staff have received numerous PMs from regular members who are concerned that the real purpose of the forum is not being observed, hence this decision.

Therefore from now on, any thread that revolves around a Biblical discussion/debate over the "godliness" of secular music will either be moved to the abovementioned forum, or, depending on context, be closed or deleted. If any members see threads of this nature, do not reply to the poster in an inflammatory manner. Please report the thread when you see it, and the moderation team will take appropriate action as soon as we can.

Thank you all for reading this :)
