  • 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

    Marriage in Jeopardy Due to religious differences

    Well we were going to the counselor together, however the counselor told my wife in an individual session with her that she thinks I need to get some help first. My wife just told me this after my last session this week so I didn’t get to ask the counselor about it yet. This seems to contradict...

    Yes I mentioned in that lengthy post just before yours that I am going to counseling. We are not currently going through marriage counseling though.

    Marriage in Jeopardy Due to religious differences

    Now that I have gotten all of that out of the way… I’m sorry if this has turned into a public spectacle where everyone gets to witness a real life soap opera. I started this thread simply to get other peoples opinions. I didn’t know my wife was going to sign up and start posting on here as...

    Marriage in Jeopardy Due to religious differences

    Let me just clarify some things since some of my posts were written when I was incredibly upset and I might have put a little to much emotion into them. When I said “Basically I want a church that sees war as an absolute last resort and will speak out against war if it is not. I want a...

    Need Marriage Help.

    I think in addition to the Evangelical Lutheran and Quaker churches that I’m also going to check into United Methodist, UCC, and Salvation Army based on the recommendations of others from this thread and the thread I started over in the marriage ministry forum. I’m basically going to shop around...

    Marriage in Jeopardy Due to religious differences

    Davis, I appreciate what you are saying and understand where you are coming from. What all of this, everything that I have posted on both threads comes down to is that I do not feel comfortable in a conservative church and I feel that it is harming my relationship with God. I want to find a...

    Marriage in Jeopardy Due to religious differences

    I’m sorry but I don’t think I can post in this thread anymore. I’m here trying to plead my case with people who for the most part seem to be conservative Christians. This is getting nowhere and only making me more upset. It feels that I am simply arguing with people in here about how I feel and...

    Need Marriage Help.

    Thanks Stumpjumper and CaDan. I checked out the links both of you posted and I’m going to look into them some more and decide. I may just end up picking a few from each of your links to attend to find out which suits me best.

    Marriage in Jeopardy Due to religious differences

    Yes I used the word hate to describe my feelings about the religious right, because I hate the way that they mislead people and I hate that they are so intolerant of people not like them. I also hate what they are doing to this country. Bush didn’t win in 2004 because he was the better...

    Need Marriage Help.

    Hi Stumpjumper, Philadelphia isn’t to far from where we live. It’s maybe about an hour and fifteen minutes away. I actually spent a short time living in Philly when I attended the Art Institute. I also lived in Sinking Spring, which is where you said your grandmother is from. Right now my wife...

    Marriage in Jeopardy Due to religious differences

    Listen to Crazy Liz. She has a great point. I have deep issues with the conservative church that go back to my early teenage years. My experience with this kind of church left me as an atheist for a bit as I have told you before and this present experience is beginning to have the same...

    Need Marriage Help.

    Thank you, all for your help and support. To answer some questions that some of you have asked… The Church we attend is a Bible Fellowship Church, I think that they are basically scattered a bit around the Northeast with most of them being in Eastern Pennsylvania. The general theology of...

    For those of you here who have not met her Littledink 77 is my wife… Yes dear, I think if anything he is using this conservative church and my history of pain and anguish in the conservative church that goes back to me earlier teenage years against me. Listen to what Crazy Liz is saying in...

    No, if they kept their right wing republican politics out of the church I'd be fine. And by comfortable, I mean not having to hear right wing repubican politics and maybe even having some fellow christian left wingers to fellowship with.
