  • 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.

He talks about how many religious historical figures, including Martin Luther, Saint Therese, John Bunyan...

    Breakdowns

    Hi there, I just wanted to give you a virtual hug--I know how hard it is to deal with the OCD stuff and to feel doubtful. BUT did you know that several religious icons including Saint Therese, John Bunyan and Martin Luther, and others are all thought to have suffered from mild to severe OCD...

    Thanks for posting those lyrics. I liked the last line, too. It's very comforting.

    lack of sleep

    Absolutely! I have noticed a huge increase in OCD'ish thoughts/behaviors after a night with little sleep. It's so annoying, isn't it? And then the whole laying in bed, thinking, "Ugh, tomorrow is going to be really, really bad OCD-wise" while tossing and turning. So aggravating.

    I hate this stuff

    Hi Tulipgirl, I just wanted to tell you that I can really relate to what you're going through. I started having disturbing sexual thoughts about babies while I was in my last trimester and it only got worse (combined with violent scary thoughts) after I had my son. It's been the biggest...
