  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    What to do when you are down?

    A couple things.. when I'm depressed, it's physically painful. I can feel it in my hands and arms and legs and so on. I just relax into it and get very still. And it helps, a lot. The default state of being is peace and joy and love. And even the feeling of depression can be a way back to it...

    Your favorite Christian movie?

    Zefferelli's Jesus of Nazareth has its moments. I've heard that Pasolini's Gospel According to Matthew is a great movie, but I haven't seen it yet.

    The Avoidant Personality Club

    Annie, thank you for taking the time to write this. I hope we can all help each other here. God bless you, for clearly saying what we feel. I can relate to what you're saying (except I'm single). I always regret talking, but I'm still spontaneous, and then I get the anguish afterwards. The...

    I'm thinking about going on a guided retreat...

    It might be derived from hesychasm: focusing on the heart and breathing. And it probably involves getting into the feel of specific postures, like standing, kneeling, bowing. Just a guess.

    The Avoidant Personality Club

    Thank you, BelindaP and BeautifullyImperfect. Just a thought, maybe we can eventually get our own subforum thingie at Mental Health. Be easier for people to find us, I think. I do like the irony of an avoidant personality club. There are other people out there who know what it's like to be...
