  • 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.

Isolation Is My Problem

Isolation has become a problem for me, and I'm trying to stop it, but I don't have many friends or people I can hangout with. I have a problem with stepping out of my comfort zone and putting myself out there. I literally have to force myself to put the effort into actually doing something and often times I don't go through with it because it just doesn't feel comfortable at all. I will come up with excuses whenever I try to go out just so I can actually stay at home. Most of my brothers are outgoing and have people they hangout with, but not me. I only hangout with 1 friend. This upcoming weekend though I'll be hanging out with a group of friends which I think in my opinion is going to be very tough. I'm not that great in groups. Lots of times, I don't know what to say or someone else takes what I was going to say, or I feel like I'm invisible at times because I'm so quiet.

At work, I do talk to a lot of people, but when it comes to the new people at my work I don't really know what to say. Sometimes, I say a simple hello but I want to get to know them more. I'm thinking about going to this college age church group that meets every Thursday night an they have a sermon and a lot of people my age go there. It's a start honestly for me to stop isolating myself from others.
