• 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.

What's on your mind?

I think you're the only person I know who's managed to articulate it so accurately and succinctly. I'm not saying that just for the sake of giving you a compliment - no, what you have said is actually a very important consideration. "A force which seeks to impress it's will against me" - that's exactly it.

I've lived it. The lengthy battle I've referenced was due to this. Subjugation and possession was the goal. It was a very bad spirit.

Your post made me think of The Phantom of the Opera. Creepy fascination which leads to obsession. I don't understand that kind of fixation. Its nuts.

It's a force that is to be assassinated as soon as you notice the early signs, whether you're the recipient or the perpetrator.

No exceptions. Shoot to kill.

The battle commenced once I understood what I was dealing with. My friends helped and kept me going. The Lord got rid of it.

Your posted triggered a memory. I was told by someone years ago who traveled that path the process of advancement in that sphere. The bigger the target the larger the leap. In essence, if you flip someone destined for great things for God the spoils are immense.

Some people travel in Christian circles masquerading as one of us but their loyalties are wholly to hell. It's their aim to secure power through our destruction.

But blessed be the LORD, our rock, who trains our hands for war, and our fingers for battle. :)

Oh, I thought your post #12961 said you were reading (maybe revisiting) P&P

No. I'm a natural Lizzy. I needn't read it again.

Someone asked to see some of my poetry and the only way I could find them was to dig in the convo. folder. I think you know where.

And I reread some stuff I haven't wanted to think about.

So...

No, I don't. But I think you should face your writings with the insight you've gained since their conception.

You'll have the one you seek.

I thank you as always, Bella, but, I do not wish for Erin at the expense of someone else who has obviously loved her for much longer a time than I have even known her, and that is what would happen in my case. He is probably a much better person than me, anyway. I do have my struggles and faults that I fear many would think me a complete hypocrite for, for all the ideals that I spout on here before you all of the time.

I just know what it's like to feel like some other guy just came into picture and stepped on you as easily as that in order to win over the girl you've liked for so long. Maybe that wasn't the other guy's intent, but nevertheless it does feel pretty low to have that happen to you. And so i empathize enough to never want to win a lady's heart at the expense of another person who felt the same way toward her. Just my personal ideals, again, there. :)

Not sure why I should take a feminist seriously, especially when they haven't managed to even realize the reality of sex differences between men and women namely neoteny. It's like the most basic start one needs to know when conversing about issues between men and women. Instead they just tend to scream "manbaby!" and do not understand the irony of their actions.

Tenure doesn't always mean health or happiness.

Every one has areas of strength and weakness. Your gallantry is endearing and I appreciate your honesty. Many are cloaked.

And so i empathize enough to never want to win a lady's heart at the expense of another person who felt the same way toward her. Just my personal ideals, again, there. :)

It's better to attend to old connections before developing new ones. Ghosts have uncomfortable manacles that rear their heads. Many men don't share your perspective. They're opportunists who'll exploit the situation for personal gain. But in most instances they're driven by besting another than possessing a prize.

All you've shared is important. It affirms your gentlemanliness. :)

You're being logical again. You can't reason with them. You know better. *pets

Yeah. Just a recent thread has triggered me. But I don't want to get into an argument right now. Still enjoying my video game.
