  • 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.

    A difficult situation--not sure how to handle this.

    That's actually part of the struggle I'm facing, is that I really REALLY don't want a relationship with him at all. I've gone almost my entire life without an earthly father and I would be quite pleased to spend the rest of my life free of this one, but I feel like discarding him from my life...

    A difficult situation--not sure how to handle this.

    Yes, my mother did press charges, but somehow he was found not guilty (although I have confronted him about it and he admitted that it was true). He and our next door neighbor (my father's best friend at the time) were both charged, and our next door neighbor went to jail.

    A difficult situation--not sure how to handle this.

    I need some sound Christian advice. I was raised by my mother from age 3 on, after she found out my father was molesting my older sister. I grew up completely sheltered (thankfully) from my father and never saw him again until I was about sixteen, when I reconnected with my father's side of...
