• 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.

Terrors in our sleep

I'm not sure i am asleep when the terrors come in. How about you. Would you like to talk about them?

Not really, but will say that after coming into this world and starting to get a handle on things

I realized just how capable man is to do just about anything,

even the most unspeakable atrocoties.

I was born 42 so from day 1 there was darkness,

My greatest fear was that I would grow up and partake in such ways.

So much so that my mind would play tricks on me,

But I have gotten past that, though I have learnt to never say never.

The high holidays are coming up, a time for introspection and stocktaking,

best of all a time when "The King is in the field"
seek Him while He is to be found.


Phew, this has been a hard days night..

Lol, that was so funny? You were 42 when you're born? Why no one wants to answer why men have nipples? Not even you? Is that a bad thing?

No I was born in the year 1942.

Though I can think of some old timers who were convinced they were reincanations of others who had passed.

One who when he was eight years old was asked his age,

he replied 60, he was convinced he was or shared the same soul as the Prophet Samuel,
Samuel passed on at the age of 52,

52+8=60

Men have nipples because we are primates and so we are phenotypically female until the y gene kicks in after after 6ish weeks. By that time nipples have already formed.

Thanks larn, that kinda sounds like something public tv said once that sex is not determined until sometime after a certain time as you are saying. I could explain it better back then. I told my friend. She looked at me and said nonsense.

You all aren't cooperating so i guess i will start.
I used to have something electronic small scouryingj around in the room or hanging over my head . I think they were the worst of the terrors as they were after me. Now i have people doing something around me. Sometimes children, they aren't scary. Usually toys. I see them clearly with my eyes closed so I'm going to catch them by opening my eyes with a slit so i can watch them but as soon as i do.... I can never catch. Them I always try to prove they are really there. Sometimes they are right up in my face.

When the electronic things were there there were Vines crawling on the walls and floor and the electric things made noise

Anymore I pray for protection before I go to sleep. Who knows what goes on with the soul when we are unconcsicous?

Before the ending of the day
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy gracious favor thou
Wouldst be our Guard and Keeper now.

From fears and terrors of the night
Defend us, Lord, by thy great might;
And when we close our eyes in sleep
Let hearts, with Christ, their vigil keep.

O Father, this we ask be done
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son
Who, with the Paraclete and thee
Now lives and reigns eternally. Amen.
