Icky is a nice way of putting it. There are whole swaths of the forums that make me want to turn my shower on pure hot water and play out the scene from The Crying Game. I kind of regret joining these forums, and I think I'll do some looking around to see if there is something better, but somehow I think I'll find the same type of stuff anywhere I go. Too bad because I'd really like to find some people to learn from so I can grow in my faith.
1) I can assure you, that (as Internet Forums go) C.C. is pretty much the best to be on. There is one more I enjoy, but I keep it a secret, that way it stays a Forum of Christian Fellowship.
2) There are very Godly people on C.C. And there are others. Such is the way of Internet Forums. Not only that, such is the way of the World in general, AND even in Church Congregations around the world. Seek and ye shall find.......can't remember who said that, but He was pretty smart.
3) Seeking people to learn from is a bit of a gamble. Believers have the very best Teacher there can ever be. The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. If one relies on the wisdom of man, one is doomed.
4) Still, one must do what is best for them.
5) As people grow here, learning the various functions of the Forums, (those truly seeking Christian Fellowship) learn the value of the "IGNORE" function we have.
