  • 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

    Thanks for the replies, it does provide some clarity. I guess the way forward is to go and have a discussion with my family, clearly put out what is bothering us and to remind them of the history behind it. They need to recognize that they are also at fault in this and some form of apology is...

    Where to from here? A spiritual conundrum

    So just to clarify, my wife and I are one in this and I stand by her. The problems with my parents did cause issues between us and I made my choice on that. I'm trying to determine how leaving your father and your mother reconciles with honoring them and then after that how to go about...
