  • 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.

    Talking to in-laws about my SIL going to our church?

    We aren't manipulating anything. If anyone has been doing any type of manipulating, it has been her. She has used her lifestyle as a way to make everyone in the family fear what decisions she will make and baby her nonstop. Rules no longer apply to her. Curfews that were strict for my husband...

    Talking to in-laws about my SIL going to our church?

    Hi everyone. My husband and I don't have any of our own children, but we have a question regarding my sister-in-law (his sister). She's 20 and after a year of speculation, we confirmed that she is leading a...well, "alternative lifestyle". She had stopped going to church last year a while...

    Moving back in with the parents... Having doubts.

    I am thankful for it. I never said I wasn't. And I'm very well aware that we are blessed. I don't get along with my mother, never have. She's an atheist who doesn't respect our religion. That in itself is going to be difficult, because she doesn't want to hear any talk about faith in the home...

    Moving back in with the parents... Having doubts.

    My husband was laid off from his job recently. On our 1 year anniversary at that. :/ We had just gotten a new apartment in which we were supposed to move into on the 15th of this month. But, I don't make enough on my own to pay for it, but with his unemployment money, we would be able to except...

    Games We Play

    My husband and I play a lot of video games together. We have two Xboxes, so one of us will go to the room and the other to the living room, and play Call of Duty, and other times we will just take turn playing video games. We also enjoy board games. We collect Star Wars versions of board games...

    How did you meet your spouse?

    I think you are the first person to say that besides our families! They were crazy supportive of us getting married so "soon". Seemed like all of our friends and other people that have asked how long it took for us to get married all thought it was too soon. We thought it was just the right...

    How did you meet your spouse?

    We met through the app Foursquare... Haha. I stole his "mayorship" from a church. He added me on Twitter, then Facebook. We had a bunch of mutual friends, and my accountability partner/best friend went to high school with him at the Christian school they attended. All 3 of us went hiking in...

    How often do you contact your spouse at work?

    Definitely depends on the type of job. My husband is a Supervisor at a hotel here in Vegas, so he has his department and we would text throughout the day. They got a new manager and he didn't want any phones out, so my husband and I downloaded AIM (on his work computer and on my computer and...

    Almost a year of TTC.

    I know that seems like it's nothing to some people. This June, it'll be one year of TTC with no blessing. I keep fearing that I'm infertile, but my doctor won't check anything until we have been trying for at least a year. I'm 27, and my husband is 30, and we desperately want a child :(

    Married man but obsessed with another woman

    Drugs are also evil, but it's not that easy for some people to walk away from it. And no. She does not care about his family. She is selfish. She has no intent on stopping pursing him even though she knows he has a wife and 2 kids at home. Yeah, definitely sounds like someone who cares about...

    Married man but obsessed with another woman

    I am going to speak to you as a woman who used to be "the other woman." It was in 2006 when I was 20, 2 years before I came to Christ. He was 25, married and had a small child who was barely 1, and claimed Christianity. Let me just tell you straight up, this woman DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR...

    Is this inappropriate?

    Littlek - I went through this 2 years ago with my husband. He was very much the social butterfly and women threw themselves at him in the workplace. Him and I had to have a very serious talk about relationships in the work place. We received counseling from 3 different individuals, and they all...
