  • 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.

    Houseguest is drowning our (young) marriage

    He's not on the lease, he's a guest and has not been asked to contribute financially at all - he came to visit last November and was going to stay for a few days. The friendship is long gone - but hubby does not want to have a confrontation hence his choice to give reasons that do not touch on...

    Houseguest is drowning our (young) marriage

    My husband and I have been married 15 months. For the last 6 months a friend of his has been living in our home (totally cost free) and causing major division - as well as providing his unwelcome critique on every part of our lives. We run a boarding house, so home is on the work site, and the...
