  • 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

    Failed Attempt at Counseling.

    I know there isn't much people can say about this, and that's ok. I feel better just getting my story out.

    Failed Attempt at Counseling.

    The counselor wanted to call the police, but I said not to. The kids actually do pretty well. While we all live in the same house, my wife does not interact with the rest of the family very much.

    Failed Attempt at Counseling.

    My Pastor is aware, but does not offer counseling. My wife's 2nd affair/pregnancy/abortion was with one of my good friends who happened to be pastor of the local Evangelical Free Church. The third affair was with the pastor of the Baptist Church she was attending at the time. So you are right...

    Failed Attempt at Counseling.

    My wife finds being with different sexual partners highly arousing. She also likes the money and nice house I provide. I'm a Christian. She used to be but now practices Wicca. She keeps attending church with the kids and me for their sake. She knows this troubles me but is also aware that I...

    Failed Attempt at Counseling.

    My wife and I have been married for 19 years now. The last 5 have been very rough. My wife had three affairs in that time. One resulted in a pregnancy/abortion. She also has chronic health problems. After all of this, she finally agreed to attend couseling. We selected a Christian...

    The Billy Graham Rule Goes to Court

    I totally agree with you. My wife of 19 years has had three affairs and two of those were with Pastors and the other was with a man who worked in the same school as her.

    Teen hates church

    I would not make your son attend, and would drop the issue with him.

    Son won't respect his mother

    I'm pretty sure the church board is aware. By what I understand they were caught in the act at the church.

    Son won't respect his mother

    Just as I thought our family was healing, my life has been shook again. My wife has had another affair. There shouldn't be any concern of pregnancy as the man had underwent a vasectomy. The man just happens to be the senior pastor of a Baptist church in a nearby town. My wife had been...

    She says he is just a friend..

    I would be concerned. My wife had her first affair with a co-worker. He second affair was with a minister who happened to be one of my best friends. Your instincts are probably correct.

    how common is weekly communion in ELCA?

    In the small rural congregation I attend, we have communion at two services a month. When I lived in a larger city, that church had communion every week. I know a lot of it has to do with the number of available volunteers to set up and clean up for a communion service.

    Pastors Praying Off Written Papers

    I've been Lutheran my entire life and have yet to encounter a pastor that does not have all prayers and sermons pre-written.

    Men on Pedestals

    I work as a funeral director so in the course of my work I've come to view ministers as regular, ordinary people. They all have their flaws too. A good friend of mine who happens to be pastor in the evangelical free church had an affair with my wife, got her pregnant, and split the cost of an...
