  • 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

    how can you encourage your teen to want to do things, get together with friends?

    Don't force her. Don't keep asking her about friends. Don't nag her or criticize her. Sign her up for some extracurricular activity. Maybe your church has something? Or you can give her a choice. You can say, "you're either taking this art class or this theater class. You choose, but you're...

    Found disturbing app on son's ipod

    Blergh. If I were in your son's position, no way would I ever want to confront my parents about that app. I think you should not mention the app. Sit down and talk to him about the morality of sex or find a good book that covers it and leave it on his bed. Don't bring up the app. Make it seem...
