  • 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

    What do you say when...

    I think it truly is the thought and the spirit behind the gift that counts... I have an example of when a gift was given in totally the wrong spirit : My BIL and the kids wanted a lapdog really bad. His wife was clear that she DID NOT want a dog because she knew she'd be the one saddled...

    How would you have handled this?

    Did you talk to him about how much he might have hurt the cat? How sick the cat might have gotten? Explained to him that the cat could have died from his actions? This doesn't have to be a loud or harsh conversation, but it's a conversation that I definitely would have had. Not a lecture...a...

    How do you punish your children?

    We don't hit our children at all...grrr. :mad: Neither do we use time-outs or other traditional "punishments"...we're a non-punitive family. We use natural consequences when a consequence is necessary. Natural consequences are not a parentally imposed punishment...it's just the natural...

    What do you do with a hitter?

    I do not believe that hitting the child teaches them not to hit. It teaches them to fear you. It teaches them that a bigger person hitting a smaller person works. It teaches them that "might makes right." What it does NOT do is to help them understand why hitting is wrong. It does not help...

    What vegetable's do your kids eat?

    We're a really veggie family...we very rarely eat any meat at all...so my girls have always been offered lots of different veggie choices. They each have a few they dislike, but they both love actual veggies...not the over processed "fake" veggies. French fries, and potatoes in general, are...
