  • 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

    Celibacy

    I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I used to see myself as a celibate, mainly for the reasons you mentioned. But I think that a spouse isn't someone who fits completely the expectations, but someone to whom you still want to lean to when things aren't perfect, someone you still want to...

    Prayer for a breakthrough

    Some churches have orchestras. For instance, the Seventh Day Adventist churches from Northern France have an Ensemble with choir and orchestra called Symphonia, if I'm not mistaken.

    Prayer for a breakthrough

    Heloise, I'm praying for you and your breakthrough. I've been learning cello on my own. It's harder, but it's better than nothing. When I can, I visit a teacher. My progress hasn't been the best, only because I don't want to play cello that much, but if playing viola is like breathing to you...

    Difficult dating single parents

    I keep being surprised by the way people see parenthood these days. Some single parents do have much challenges, but most of them don't see them as you do. They are clearly taking care of a relationship much more important than social events and dating. A child is a priority that a mother...

    How to kill the desire to be someone in life

    Guerrier, What makes you think you would feel any different if you were recognized by others? How do you know that fame and recognition wouldn't be another dead end? Many who were famous and recognized lived miserable lives. You might be craving an illusion, if so, its antidote is loyalty to...

    Tired of being single. Advice needed

    I don't like to be single. I used to like loneliness, but after so many years I think I'm getting lonely. What helps is this notion that if we are single we are more available to live for others. Singleness can be a blessing too, when we dedicate ourselves to those in need. Someone who goes...

    I'm sorry, Does anyone know how to find long haired men to date?

    You are choosing a husband by prioritizing his haircut. Are you making fun of us, of humankind?

    Ressentment

    A good summary of family dynamics is found in Koestler's "The Invisible Writing": «Family relations pertain in a plane where the ordinary rules of judgment and conduct do not apply. There are a labyrinth of tensions, quarrels and reconciliations, whose logic is self-contradictory, whose ethics...

    Ressentment

    Each member of a family has his role; sometimes this role is defined not as much as the person's real personality but how the family system needs to see that person. Plus, when you want to discuss issues, you are doing it expecting a change. Your intention is good, but one system that already...

    Favorite quotes..

    «O, when I am safe in my sylvan home, I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome; And when I am stretched beneath the pines, Where the evening star so holy shines, I laugh at the lore and the pride of man, At the sophist schools, and the learned clan; For what are they all, in their high...

    Good idea or no? Help!

    A wedding ceremony is a sacred event that testifies our commitment to our spouse. Its purpose is to make that union holy. It's not a business feeder, this was a human invention. Why enter into a non-holy union just because of an unnecessary high bill? Start with nothing, start it humbly, built...

    My Father Won't Read The Holy Bible

    My Father likes a good debate, as long as he is winning; he is also very open minded, as long as you agree with him. So, to make a valid and productive point with him, I need to play chess and think 10 steps ahead. In a situation like yours, I would ask my Father to convince me not to read the...

    Son won't respect his mother

    Your son is building his foundations to navigate in this world and he just lost a very important coordinate. Of all the three, he is the one who misses respecting his mother the most. This needs to be restored. He's not the root of the problem; it may seem that it would be easier for him just to...
