  • 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

    My (young) kids visiting another church

    @Sophrosyne "stale Church with a pipe organ and dusty hymnals I felt like I was 80 years old there it was so uninviting." This made me laugh & I understand. Our church certainly isn't "dusty" nor caters to a predominately age 80+ crowd, but I can see why you mention it. I guess if you...

    My (young) kids visiting another church

    Thank you all for the helpful comments. Since it was mentioned... I very much wish my husband went to church with us. Although he believes & will say grace when we sit down for dinner, he still doesn't attend... He has went a few times & says he "wishes he could make himself get up & go". I...

    Dreams about Snakes

    Hello, So, I've always been taught that we should not try to interpret our dreams.... But I've had a few about snakes lately that are really troubling me, (2 dreams specifically). In one dream, a black snake crawled up the length of my arm & latched on with his fangs, (then I woke up). In...

    Suggestions on getting hubby to help around the house

    Let me know when you find what works, Angeldove97, (though, I know what works for 1 marriage may not for another).... I'm in a similar situation, (love my DH to death BTW), and have realized just how differently we were raised over the years. You're right, that has a lot to do with it. My DH...
