  • 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've tried very hard to not react in anger lately...last night I listened for 30 minutes about how I'm wrong. When I finally got my...

    Feeling like a priority

    Thank you for the reply! The giver and taker article certainly hits home. We haven't tried the policy of joint agreement, but we have discussed the matter of making our preferences know and that anything after that is an individual behavior that will may have consequences on the other. But...

    Feeling like a priority

    Hi all, new member here. I'm frustrated and unsure what to say or do. A situation happened a couple nights ago that made me feel like less of a priority, and without going into too much background, I feel it is a pretty common theme in our marriage. Almost every time we get together with my...
