  • 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.

    son hitting himself

    I walked in my son's room the today and see him punching himself in the crotch. I asked him what he was doing and he told me it was the only way to make "it" go away. Is it ok for him to be doing that or should I make him stop?

    I realize that I can't possibly control everything sinful that he does, however I also realise that he is going through a time in his life when phisical changes are occurring rapidly and he might deal with them in a sinful manner. That is as descriptive as I want to get.

    Thanks for the advice, but I think the best plan is to have my 14 yr old shower at night and my 12 yr old shower in the morning. That way I can still get in the bathroom in the morning without having to risk seeing my 14 yr old. Do you think this will encorage sin when he takes a shower alone?

    Aspergers Research Thread - What is it?

    Both Albert Einstien and Issac Newton were described as having symptoms of aspergers. In my opinion it's not a disorder at all, but a gift. I beleive these children think so deeply that they can't relate to others, and it is we who don't understand them. you might find this interesting...

    My son came up with this...

    First of all, let me explain that my son has a disorder called aspergers sydrome. It's similar to partial autism and causes him to be socially disconnected and obsessive about one subject, when he was 4-5 he would make me read to him about dinosaurs every night and wouldn't talk to anyone his...

    What you propose is easier said then done, mornings are insanely hectic and it's nothing but a rush to get out the door how it is. The fact is that they have grown up with me and only me, so I don't think my presence will bother them at least for the time being. The problem is that I am...

    My two boys take a shower every morning before school, we don't have very much time to get ready, i have to go to work and we only have one bathroom in the house. One is 14 and the other is 12 and I'm not sure if they are mature enough yet to see me as invasive. They're both going through...

    Teens in the house?

    I know exactly how you feel. I have a 14 yr old boy, 12 year old boy, and an 8 yr old daughter. It can be so hectic to keep them all under control, especially my 14 yr old. It helps a lot being a youth leader and a mother.

    Struggling Very Badly

    The best thing to help you is to talk to people, not just in forums but in real life. Talk to your parents about it, I'm sure they've been through it as well. I know it can be hard especially for teenagers to control it.

    Do you like being single??

    Being single is okay as long as you're faithful enough. It get's difficult for many women to deal with it, but I find that all you have to do is keep yourself busy enough that you're not worried about your own urges. Taking care of my children is my main concern, not satisfying myself, and when...

    Son hitting puberty!

    Thats what usually happens but he has to stand up sometimes especially in the mornings. I do the appropriate thing and avert my eyes when that happens.

    when abouts do boys hit puberty?

    My son hit puberty at 12 and I thought that was really early. Puberty at 11 is almost unheard of. I would advise giving him "the talk" pretty soon to give him the heads up with what's happening to his body
