  • 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.

    The big "What If"

    So I posted a thread earlier about my struggle with what I believe is HOCD. I met with my pastor for some counseling while I wait for my psychologist appointment. The big thing that I took out of my talk with him is that I am most definitely a slave to the big "What if." I wonder if this is...

    Should I feel abnormal?

    Wow, thanks Matt. It's really good to hear I am not alone... I guess the real distinguishing factor between us is that my weaker attractions cause me to be gripped with fear and wonder "What if..." ; I'm really starting to pray about this and am hoping that the psychologist will give me good...

    Where does everyone work?

    I work at Panera Bread. Just applied to be a tutor through my university though. It's a nice position, so I'm hoping that pans out!

    Should I feel abnormal?

    I actually have made an appointment with a psychologist for Tuesday. Hoping to straighten all that nonsense out. I've had a really good week though, but sometime's it's really rough. Thanks for your comment though, you pretty much echo everything my family and pastors have said. I haven't had a...

    Should I feel abnormal?

    Hey all, I'm wondering if I can get some perspective from some fellow Christian singles. So without reposting my whole life story (you can find it in the OCD forum if your so inclined to read it), I am wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me. So one of the things that has led to my...

    HOCD and Spreading... my story and my struggle.

    Hi all, thanks for the responses! I haven't been on to check the past few days, because when my mind isn't on the issue, I try and keep myself away from it. I've had a really good past three or four days. I kind of hit rock bottom the night I posted this and ended up breaking down in tears on...

    Hello!

    My name is Alex and I am a 19 year old college student. I am a "born again" Christian. Technically non-denominational I guess, but I've attended a Fellowship of Grace Brethren church all my life an really feel at home there. Looking forward to posting with you all.

    HOCD and Spreading... my story and my struggle.

    Hi all. I'm really excited to find a large community of Christians who are struggling with OCD. I mean, I am not happy that others are struggling, but I am happy to learn that there are others I can go through the struggle with. I've typed up my story before, so I will copy and paste that here...
