  • 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

    It sounds like you have gone to great effort to recover. I would not know anything to suggest, especially since I have no solid data about my own situation, and all my healing attempts are based on guesswork... I will keep you in my prayers! Thank you for the encouraging posts in response to...

    @rturner76 Peeing out protein...doesn't that mean you have kidney problems? Just wondering, have you ever had your hormone levels checked? Have you considered that you might have subclinical hypothyroidism? If you have time, please check out Dr. Brownstein's and Dr. Flechas' lectures on...

    I really appreciate your response. It will take me a while to think about all this. It helps just to know people like you care enough to spend time writing an answer to a complete stranger. Here are some questions: How does one humble oneself without being degraded? How does one have no...

    Thank you for your response. I understand depression, very bad depression, and being debilitated. See the post I wrote to TzephanYahu. I send you my sympathy. I am feeling light-headed and ill right now, but I want to type just this much: after many years of suicidal depression and physical...

    Thank you for your response. I will tell you my main issue: I have health issues that are making it nearly impossible for me to work. I used to be a high-achieving person. Over time I have been reduced to extreme fatigue, insomnia, breathing problems, etc. I want to be able to be my best...

    Thank you for your response. I always knew Jesus was a Master. It's a long story about how i got to the point I am at now. Basically, I am worn out with evil, and I want to be protected from it so I can focus on being productive. So many things let me down, it's really absurd, not even...

    Thank you for your response. Basically, I have reached a breaking point where I "cannot take it anymore"... I have never felt like this and have no way to deal with it. I really just want to know there is a Heaven. If I had that to look forward to, I would be able to function much better.

    Thank you for your response. I turned to Christianity a few years ago because I had no where else to turn. Sometimes I wish that I could go back to my old "New Age" type belief system... But I can't, because of what I have witnessed. I don't want that stuff to ever come into my life again. I...

    Deeply troubled, please help.

    Thank you for your response. I may be on the wrong track, in that I really just want to know there is a better place after this life is over. I need to know I'll have another chance. I need to know this life is just a nightmare, nothing to take seriously, and that worldly "failure" is nothing...

    Thank you for your response. I cannot do much to help others at this point. I have no money, no energy, and generally feel unwell. I am trying to start a home business but my heart just is not in it. I feel so disappointed in this life. I just want to look forward to a better place. I want...

    Deeply troubled, please help.

    Thank you for your response. The bottom line is that I do not foresee having any incentive for living except to know that if I persevere and do not commit suicide that I will go to Heaven. I really don't even care if God created evil. I just want to know there's something to look forward to.

    Deeply troubled, please help.

    Thank you for your response. The bottom line is I want to know that things will get better after this life is over. If I know that this place is just a shadow and a nightmare, I will be able to remain calm. It's not a choice of which table, for me, it's that I have run out of energy to fight...
