  • 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

    How are you?

    I picked the first choice, as it matched me the best. I feel that I'm doing my best in my walk with God. I'm not perfect and I'll never be totally satisfied... I'm constantly trying to improve. I'm on the right path though.

    Some children are truly benefitted by alternative remedies. Some aren't... I know that nothing but ritalin could help me, or my brother. I read your other thread about medication... that first article you cited was copyrighted 1997, the data may be outdated just a bit. A lot of things can...

    HELP: thinking of getting a divorce

    Give her the support that she so desperately needs. She shouldn't jump into a divorce... jumping into marriage did this to her in the first place, I believe this is perhaps a way for her to learn to look before she leaps. She's told him in no uncertain terms that she very much hates the fact...

    Personal Persecution from families

    My thoughts exactly. Shunning a person only alienates them and reinforces their negative views of you and your faith. Showing love and respect is the only way.

    Questions

    The way I've always seen it is that Jesus did come from something with sin. He was born as a human, who are born with original sin. He wasn't. That's what makes Jesus special among all people.

    Disturbing and Revolting

    Great idea... but I'd be too embarrased to begin with to even think of doing that. (if this were happening to me) I'd probably be hiding somewhere far away from the thin walls anyway :blush: :sick:

    Disturbing and Revolting

    Try to find some way to nicely mention to her that the walls are thin. Some of the above suggestions are great... I got a good laugh out of some of them! Until she realizes how rude she's being to you and how much it offends you... I'd suggest a strong pair of earplugs. ^_^

    How do you guys feel good about life?

    Let yourself feel joy and happiness again... there are bad things in the world but good things there as well. If you hang around happy people also, you'll feel happier. When I'm feeling down, I do silly things and laugh at myself. Laughter is amazing, you feel much better after a good laugh...
