  • 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.

However, when I came back for second semester, my boyfriend and I started going for late-night meals at the pizza place on campus and...

    Everyone, I am sorry but I need to post this in the public so that my words don't get twisted around again. Bethany, If this is about the argument Allie and I got into, I'm sorry. I just found it extremely offensive that she said that your parents are against you getting counseling. They...

    I have had a really hard week, but I'm hoping it will look up. I'm going to my boyfriend's grandparent's house this weekend. They live on a huge farm, and it's seriously my favorite place to be. It's a lot of hard work, but we have a lot of fun doing it. I'm bringing my camera, so I will...

    Oh dear! My finger hurt kinda bad afterwards, and there was a bruise, but I can't imagine how bad it would hurt if my finger was actually bleeding too! I love llamas too, but I have to admit that they scare me! I think it's because they're so much bigger than me. How have you been today?

    I have been so tired lately! I took a nap for like two hours today, after getting plenty of sleep. It's getting kinda ridiculous.:sleep: I did have an okay day though. My boyfriend took me to his boss' farm, which lifted my spirits. He has a whole bunch of miniature horses, goats, and a llama...

    Comparing yourself to others...

    I feel like you read my mind, GreenMunchkin. There is this certain girl at my church that I cannot stop comparing myself to. I feel like she is perfect, and that someday my boyfriend will realize it. I hate comparing myself to others, but sometimes I feel like I can't help it...

    I concur what the others are saying. It's horrible. It may seem like the only way out, but it's not. Please trust us.

    Hard not to withdraw from depressed husband

    I would try to sit down with him and have a serious talk. Tell him that your heart aches for him and that you long for him to get help. Explain the situation about your friend's husband and how you're worried this could happen to him. Tell him you're sorry for withdrawing from him, but you just...
