  • 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

    Love & Respect

    Thanks FaithPrevails and Chaz :) I appreciate it! Hope some good discussion comes out of this. If anyone's read the book in it's entirety, can you explain what you understood to be the author's take on giving unconditional respect to your husband and maybe even give examples? I've been...

    Love & Respect

    I guess I should have checked other threads to see whether this book was brought up before. Sorry! The thought occurred to me but I was working with a slow internet connection and was too lazy to dig. And yes the author never states that love and respect are exclusive of each other, or that...

    How did you set your wedding date?

    Ours really revolved on family availability. My sister (who was also my maid of honor) is free only 2 times a year, summer or 2-3 weeks during the Christmas holidays bc she's in her last year of med school and is on a very tight schedule. Since we were discussing it in early in 2010 (literally...

    Poll: premarital counseling

    We did a 3.5 hour premarital counseling session with our pastor (both attend the same church) before marriage all in one go due to all of our crazy schedules. I thought it was helpful but I put we only took it somewhat seriously because of the fact that we never really followed up on all the...

    urgent request: please pray for dad

    Thank you so much for all who prayed and are praying. It is literally going to take a mountain of prayers because I feel like only God Himself can change this situation. Dad's not an evil person, he's just deceived into believing that alcohol is the best way to solve his depression and his...

    urgent request: please pray for dad

    Hello fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, I have an urgent prayer request right now for my dad, who's been struggling with a psychological dependence on alcohol for years. Recently it's taken a turn for the worse and he is now abusive towards my mother and brother. He is now stating that...

    Message To Your Younger Self

    Note to younger self: follow your dreams, and don't let anyone tell you that it's not worth it. Not trying is the worst failure of them all. Also: Listen to your mom and stand up straight. And lastly: You were right the first time about him.

    Remove rep feature and replace with "like"

    :) Yes it is facebookish! Nothing new under the sun. :P But I still maintain that it's a good idea and we could do without the rep points button. Rep points are just pointless and waste the space up there.

    Remove rep feature and replace with "like"

    I really like the facebook feature where you can "like" individual posts and then click to see who has liked that post. I think it would be great if we could get rid of the rep points feature (which I have always thought of as a little silly) and replace it with a like button and you can click...

    Short Shorts Get Woman Three Days Jail

    Um, I don't think so. She acted like an idiot and hopefully 3 days in jail taught her something.
