  • 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.

    I am looking forward to divorce

    My First Divorce: I was married to a woman that I loved very deeply, Mary. In hindsight, we got married too young. We were both immature and not ready. I supported her via my stable career as she went through many odd jobs. She eventually went to school, got a nursing degree, and started a...

    I am looking forward to divorce

    I'll post in bursts as I finish 'chapters'. Prelude: My wife and I are about to separate. We say we'll take some time and hopefully fall in love again and start with a clean slate. But, really, I don't know what will come of it. My mind and spirit are exhausted and weary. I hope and pray that...

    I am looking forward to divorce

    It is taking me far longer than I expected to write everything. I want it to be purely honest and all-inclusive. Please excuse me for creating a thread with no real content at this point. It is coming. I hope to have it ready tonight, but it may not be ready until tomorrow. *edit: To help keep...

    I am looking forward to divorce

    Hello, Forum Friends. I'm not a regular poster here, but I have gotten a lot from reading other people's stories and insights. I started a thread here a while ago, but can't post a link because of my low post count. If you do an advanced search for my user name, Electro, you can see it. I got...

    Questioning if divorce is the right move or should I still wait on God?

    notgivingup- Do you have children together? I don't pretend to know the intricate details of your marriage. But, if what you describe is accurate, I honestly think you may be better off letting him pursue his goals and carrying on without him. God can fix anything, but He won't force a fix on...

    On the verge of divorce

    I want to give sincere thanks to all of you who have offered your thoughts, advice, and prayers. You don't know me as anything more than a screen name, but you've put real thought and time into my problems, and I thank you very much. I am a real person, with struggles just as real as any you...

    On the verge of divorce

    Thanks again, ValleyGal. To answer your questions: She is excited about being a grandma, and supports her daughter. She has already told me that she's worried about addressing the issue of her daughter/baby moving in, which is why I not only expect it, but am preparing for it. She knows how...

    On the verge of divorce

    I'm sorry, I realize I didn't communicate well (I will edit my post to clarify). The pregnant daughter is not the drug addict. This is her older daughter, who is not on drugs. My issue is that I expect that my wife will want her pregnant daughter to move in. Which means, once again, that I'm...

    On the verge of divorce

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I really do appreciate it. Tammy is correct in her assumption (no offense taken!). We aren't living 100% for God. We struggle often in our walk, and sometimes are more obedient than at other times. pfcreed - I absorbed every word you wrote. Thank you...

    On the verge of divorce

    Hello, everyone. This is my first post here (I hope it's in the right forum). My wife and I have been married for 3 years (together for 5). We met shortly after we were divorced from our previous spouses (my ex-wife left me, she left her ex-husband). She had 3 children (2 teenagers, now on...
