  • 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.

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

    (((((tbird)))))) I am so sorry about Sam. She sounds like she was a great person and it is awful that this happened to her. She didn't deserve it, no one does. And I hope something happens to that drunk that hurt her. As someone with PTSD, it does happen randomly a lot. For me, anything that...

    What Not To Say To Survivors Of Abuse

    "It's your word against his and no one will ever believe you." Why is that, because you think I am a liar? Because I'm not, thanks Mom. People don't have PTSD and all these problems from making something up. I've seen numerous professionals in the past 4 1/2 years. What makes you think I...
