  • 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.

    Have you changed in 2010?

    Definitely yes! I don't quite know what's changed yet - but thankfully God and I are in this together. :)

    What do you enjoy doing outside?

    In Australia...Walking with my mp3 player and looking at the mountains... bliss! In England though - looking at all the hills and the difference of the seasons... so beautiful!

    What is your biggest struggle in your walk with God?

    Flirting = deceitful?

    ~I'm looking at regular girls, like the ones at school or the ones at the post office or whatever! Christian girls who I'm attracted to do not want me. This I've realized long ago, and I have come to peace with. Since I'm not willing to "play ball" and do all that christianese and whatever to...

    Does Christanity lack fun?

    Then I would ask if they truly are Christians then... if they don't find delight in Christ then heaven won't hold any joy for them! Lol...

    What instruments do/did you play?

    Lol - I'll provide back up on the spoons... But first I should learn how to play them... ~grins~

    What instruments do/did you play?

    I used to play the piano - for about 6/7/8 years. I haven't for ages though... I do miss it. But instead I sing now. :) A voice is a lot lighter to carry around than a keyboard! ;) Hehehe. :)

    Does Christanity lack fun?

    I reckon it depends on your idea of what's "fun". :) I should say one of my pet peeves is referring to Christianity as 'religion'. I will not say I'm 'religious' - I am a Christian. You can watch a tv show religiously, go to the gym religiously..etc. I hope to never feel I go to church...

    What is your biggest struggle in your walk with God?

    As a side note - my biggest struggle is probably my pride... Growing up in a Christian household, knowing everyone in my church - or rather being known by everyone in my church, parents in a leadership kind of role in church - leaves you with a certain amount of 'nose-stuck-in-the-air'...

    What is your biggest struggle in your walk with God?

    Hey Gilbert61 - I totally know what you mean. This is the age when we all look around and see our friends engaged or married or having kids and think... 'what about me?!' This is something I struggled with for - especially when my two younger friends got married... ~sigh~ But you know...

    Friendships...

    Ahh Welshman - you've made so much sense, yet again! I really love that quote you've put there... it's so true. I guess my main struggle is now distancing myself subtly. It's a bit tricky because I've just spent a year overseas doing mission work - and so they're keen to catch up and all...

    Friendships...

    Thank you. I guess I needed to hear that. :) Thanks everyone for replying. (And Normaga - are you sure you're prepared if I vent about my friends?!) ;)
