  • 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

    Advice needed on work/life balance

    Hi and thanks for replying. I'm not sure about my boss. I've asked myself many times if he's using me, but I'm concerned about not being given enough hours to support my family if I take steps to reduce my workload. I haven't spoken directly to my boss about how I'm feeling. I'm hoping I can...

    The first year of marriage - what is/was it like for you?

    My first year of marriage was very rocky, which was something I certainly wasn't expecting! Nobody ever warned my husband nor I that the first year could be anything but roses. If you are arguing a lot, just remember that there are two of you from (probably) very different backgrounds/families...

    Striking a balance?

    Hi everyone. I have a little dilemma at the moment, concerning work/life balance, and would appreciate some advice/feedback on it. About eight months ago, I was blessed with a great job that I love doing. I still enjoy it most of the time, but I find myself so snowed under with work right now...
