Do you guys frequent other sections of CF, or other Christian forums? When i first joined CF there were so so many sub forums, i was pretty overwhelmed and didnt know where to go. I went on the UK section in the end to escape the extremely vocal Americans....
Turned out folks were pretty nice and decent here anyway so I stayed put

I used to post on the CWR part, but stopped because,
mostly posts from Amerika, the time difference was too much, was sitting up all night.
difficulty in understanding what they were talking about, or rather how they meant.
sometimes really bad behaviour by young people who carried on like they were Hitler youth, but they had Christian icons so for them all was permitted, (I recieved a life sentence).
Also a few other matters which don,t matter anyway,
Just happy I could tear myself away.
Also if you don,t have a Christian visa you can,t post just anywhere anyway so what, s the point,
In any case every time I post I always say this will be my last, and yet......

There is the Europe section but you might just as well talk to the wall.
Actively Lurking and/or Posting In:
- Tradition, Scripture, Reason - Anglican & Old Catholic
- One Bread, One Body - Catholic
- The Ancient Way - Eastern Orthodox
- Married Couples
- Women's Discussion
- Singles
- Depression
Mostly I stick to Singles because it's active, OBOB for entertainment value and Married Couples because it can be a little bit like a soap opera. Or it was, until the mass banning...

I'm not too good at lurking.
I have trouble not voicing my opinion in threads where my position is undefended/not stated and there's a whole load of ignorance in the thread.
Sometimes posting in areas i shouldn't.
I post in:
UK and Ireland
Ethics and Morality
Politics(all three)
News and Current Events
Australia/New Zealand
Philosophy
Physical and life sciences(Sometimes)
Singles(Rarely)
Computers and Internet(Rarely)
Lurk:
OBOB: Catholic(After i got into trouble posting there.)
Any board when i'm really bored.

I got to the Australian/NZ site, but it's pretty quiet there at the moment, also the 50+ which I'm enjoying. I look...but rarely post in Christian Current Affairs and ordinary Currant Affairs, and sometimes look at... Ask a Chaplain.

I don't do no lurking (don't have the time). I spent a few days on an atheist forum recently and was hounded off of it by their utterly foul language and hatred towards Christians.
I lurk about in General Theology. That's where all the wars take place. I grab the popcorn and watch. Lately I've been drawn into Eschatology...I love reading about what people say about the end times, even though I don't believe in a literal interpretation of the prophecies. It's just fun to watch.
Then I go to Exploring Christianity and Christianity and World Religion, where debates more interesting than "Is the Pope evil?" take place.
Finally I go to Struggles with Sexuality, because that's a main concern to me. Sadly freedom of expression doesn't exist there. God forbid (taken literally by the moderators) that you think being gay is okay.

I don't lurk there anymore.
I've tried to post a few times but they get filtered out.
It's the only part of the site i despise.
I can't help but imagine the suicidal Christians struggling with their sexuality only seeing the "Repent", "pray it away" type stuff.
Anything related to "it's ok" getting filtered out.
Or the worst misconceptions flying around; like:
"You we're probably molested as a child but are mentally blocking the memories, see a therapist."
"You need to develop a stronger relationship with your[opposite sex parent]."
"You need to do more[masculine for guys, feminine for girls] stuff."
Oh let us not forget the Christians who take OFFENCE at someone strugling with their sexuality; these people bitterly say things like: "Well we've all got our crosses to bear; what makes YOU so special?"
As if life long celibacy, and compulsory guilt for any sexual thought is equivalent to most people resisting the urge to steal, lie, murder ETC.
It's ridiculous...and i've waffled on apparently.
*sigh*
Sorry, this just REALLY grinds my gears....especially considering what it could do to people so vulnerable.
