    Marriage strained by constant health issues and miscarriages

    Hi everyone, No real question here, just a post to vent because I just can't talk to anyone else. It's literally been years since I've posted on CF, and at that time I was well and truly single. In October 2021 I married my wife, who I loved and love. And counted my blessings. She was...

    Same-sex marraig poll

    It's not over until it's over. This morning it was the other way around, even though this poll first started with those for it in the majority. Christians who are against it just have to come out of the woods is all.

    Same-sex marriage in Australia

    Hi everyone, Hopefully I'm not breaking forum rules with this link, but some of you may be aware that the Labor Party in Australia (like the Democrats in the US politically), are preparing a bill for our parliament to legalise same-sex marriage. Our current Prime Minister (Tony Abbott) is...

    Same-sex marraig poll

    Hi everyone, Hopefully I'm not breaking forum rules with this link, but as a lot of you would be aware, there is a proposed bill for marriage equality coming before parliament. The media would have you think that an easy majority of the population want same-sex marriage legal. However, this...

    Germany's Catholic Church Just Took An Amazing Step For LGBT And Remarried Catholics

    For the OP, there's a difference between as what Pope Francis said "who am I to judge", and then just compromising the churches values in a way that fuels anti-Catholic Protestants in their sale to converts that the Catholic Church isn't Christian. We have traditionally been at the forefront of...

    Worst chore ever

    Laundry! All the other stuff can be done in 10-15 minutes. Laundry!!! Feels like it drags on and on... Takes up too much of Saturday morning, where I deserve to be running around outside instead.

    "Dating" two people at the same time

    Well even with the first girl who we went out for coffee last Sunday arvo, you could only really call that a "date" in a very loose sense. And even though we're meeting up again, I don't feel we're "dating" in a relationship context at all. Just talking and getting to know each other better...

    "Dating" two people at the same time

    Hey everyone. So, after some opinions here. After being really knocked down in the relationship stakes, I've dusted myself off and getting back in the game so to speak, as to being open to getting to know girls again. Now the issue, unexpectedly I've met two girls who I'm interested in...

    Issues of dating a single mother

    Hey everyone. I suppose this is more directed to the single mums here, and I hope you don't mind me posting this. But at my age, I've realised that increasingly, even in Christian circles, a lot of single women in my age range are mothers. With the ones I meet, they all seem like great and...

    Veterans Day and the Body of Christ...

    I don't like people who overstate what they did in wars (which you are definitely NOT doing)... You know, the sort, who maybe saw one bomb going off and make people think their Rambo, whereas there was the guys who had to put up with that all the time. But I also don't believe people should...

    Veterans Day and the Body of Christ...

    The American Civil War was an awful war. I've read, and watched quite a bit about it, and true there are many great people and things that came out of it, that became legends. I.e. Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, emancipation, etc. But I remember watching one particular...

    Why are so many Aus Christians against Asylum seekers?

    It's not about being against asylum seekers. It's about people who come into this country through the back door, claiming asylum, even though many either come from countries were, yes they're poor, but not persecuted... Or claiming you're persecuted and desperate for asylum, yet at the same...
