  • 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.

    Seeking Godly Counsel on Boundaries, Stewardship, and Honoring My Marriage

    Do you and your husband budget for your giving or generosity? If you and your husband had a set amount of money that could be given away, could you two split it evenly and each do as you choose with your half?

    Can men get violent because of woman?

    I don't know of any place where violence due to jealousy is protected by law. It is illegal to harm someone out of jealousy.

    Pastor praising demons again

    Are the services recorded? I'm wondering if you can review it and see if you hear the same thing. I think it is important to tell your doctor about hearing this again and also stay in communication with the pastor or another minister that you trust.

    New Job and Career Goals and Physical and Mental Health Needs

    No. That's not something I'm going to be doing unless my condition get significantly worse. In order to qualify for disability benefits, you can't be able to work at all for an extended period of time. That would be financially devastating. We would be homeless, lose our vehicle. Once a...

    My mom again and the drama she causes

    I think you need to have some distance and space from your mother until the two of you can come to an understanding of each other and you both can have more patience. Her abusive behavior is unacceptable, but I've also seen some abusive behavior from you based on things you have posted in other...

    New Job and Career Goals and Physical and Mental Health Needs

    The psychological clinic ended up not working out for me. So I am still without a therapist. On the bright side, my kid got a temporary job in a warehouse. It is full time and pays a higher wage than usual. If they want to keep my kid on, it could become permanent or be recurring as needed.

    Amazon problems.

    Lorica's complaints aren't against the employees themselves, but the company and the process. She hasn't said anything to indicate a lack of understanding on there part. The work conditions do not negate customers' difficulties, needs not being met, or their struggles.

    Why does light chat feel so Heavy?

    It can be helpful to politely inform people that you don't like chit chat. You can tell people anything that you feel is important to know about how to communicate with you and your boundaries. I tell people that I am not a chatty person, and that silence is not awkward to me. I also tell them...

    Why does light chat feel so Heavy?

    I think it is called light chat because it is not supposed to be about serious topics. It isn't in reference to how it makes a person feel. I have noticed that in the chat box, you tend to talk about more serious things. Those aren't supposed to be talked about there, because serious topics are...

    Getting older alone

    As you age you realize that the later years aren't as old as you thought they were when you were younger. When you are 40, you will be amazed at how young 30 is and wonder why you didn't appreciate the youthfulness of it then. Don't be afraid to change your mind or your goals as you progress...

    How can we 'hear ' god's voice when we have to take our medicine?

    Those drugs treat symptoms, hallucinations, and delusions that originate from your mind. God does not originate from you, and neither does His voice. I have been treated for psychosis, but it didn't stop the Holy Spirit from interacting with me. I don't hear God in the same way I have...

    How do you deal with losing friends/family/loved ones

    Losing people creates grief and voids. It's a good idea to try going through the stages of grief in a healthy way. It's also good to fill your time with positive activities and people and also rest. It is an exhausting thing to go through; it can cause depression and needs to be dealt with as...

    Fiancé Wants Me to Sell My House

    I think it could be a good thing for your fiancé to learn to live within a budget that is realistic for the two of you before getting married. I would be worried that his whole 40+ years of a lifestyle of unnecessary spending and not needing to be concerned about money because dad has a lot...

    Fiancé Wants Me to Sell My House

    It really doesn't matter what his father wants. If his father wants him to live in an apartment, then his father can help him achieve that goal in whatever ways are needed. They do not need you to sell your house (and your sister's house) so that he can have apartment. I want to reiterate that...
