  • 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.

    In love with an athiest.

    In the marriage forum there is a sub board for people who are in unequally yolked marriages/relationships. Maybe you should pop in over there and see what kind of things you might face in the future? There are people over there who are happily married, and those who are struggling. It might be...

    A homosexual 6 year old?

    I am a friend and that is why I am asking the opinions of others on the matter. I am not there to parent either child, and I am aware of that. I do not believe being concerned about a child who is in my care is intruding.

    A homosexual 6 year old?

    Thank you all for your insight, advice, and prayers. I had some people message me with articles and parts of the bible that were very helpful to me. My hope is that despite the divorce the environment will remain as stable as possible for both children. L has trust issues but hopefully I can...

    A homosexual 6 year old?

    I agree with what you've said. Children around that age are not picking friends based on personality traits but on similar likes, like how he likes superheroes for example. I don't believe her reason for thinking that is that he hangs around boys a lot. I think she just feels like she is in...

    What should I tell him?

    ^Whatever his opinion on the matter is, the Catholic church has strict guidelines of priesthood. Have you talked to him about your concerns for him in the priesthood?

    How do you like to dress for church?

    I was raised Catholic so when I go to church I generally wear dresses, because that's what we always wore to church. Everyone else is wearing jeans and t-shirts, but I'm comfortable in what I'm wearing. That being said, I picked the selection other. I work in the children ministry in the...

    what now? just found out my daughther is having premarital sex

    I'm not sure how close you and your daughter are, but I think you too seem to love each other very much and have a good relationship. She might avoid coming to you afraid that you might be disappointed, ashamed, or have a very negative reaction about her behavior. I don't think it is out of...

    A homosexual 6 year old?

    I'm currently a student in Early childhood education. One of my friends is currently in the middle of a divorce from her husband, so I've been watching her two children. One of them is a 6 year old boy in Kindergarten. The other is my two year old God daughter. (Baptized per the fathers...

    Any Knitters?

    Does anyone have any beginner patterns? I'm at the point where I can knit squares and scarves, but I'd like to try something a bit more advanced. Are there any free patterns out there that you would recommend for someone of a beginner level?

    Whats the best non-surgical way to avoid having kids? (contraceptive implant?)

    I am not married but for the purpose of protection (because you never know) I have an IUD. It's non-hormonal (so no weight gain, facial hair, all that) and copper. It basically blocks the sperm from reaching any egg. It's non surgical, the doctor can put it in during a regular visit and it...

    does a woman need to make her own clothes and knit to be godly?

    I think it's about interpretation. I mean it uses the phrase "work the fingers to the bone", which could mean that it is talking about a hard worker. A woman back then who was a hard worker was often a hard worker in tasks that were delegated to a woman, such as knitting and making clothing...

    Detachment Parenting?

    Detachment Parenting?

    What you're doing is more of the cultural norm actually (at least of what we generally see in America). But lately people have been going back to co-sleeping, baby wearing, and other trends like feeding all organic. Parenting styles change with the times. What you're doing is not uncommon at...

    Detachment Parenting?

    As someone who is studying Early Childhood Education I would say that it's mainly a cultural thing. Some parents want to stress individuality at an early age. Ways to do this are not co-sleeping, which goes hand in hand with self soothing. Some parents want to use co-sleeping, breast feeding...
