  • 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.

    Soulmate dumped me, very depressed

    I know what it's like to be dumped. Last summer, my boyfriend of 2 and a half years - who I ADORED - broke up with me. I was very depressed too and lost weight and was in tears a lot. I am now with someone else, and he is - dare I say it? - more special than the previous guy. I didn't think it...

    How long since you last self injured?

    It's probably been about 6 months since I "properly" cut. How time flies. I haven't even been trying.

    Age

    I was with a guy who was 3 years older than me for 2 and a half years. All my boyfriends were older. My boyfriend of 5 months is 2 and a half years younger than me. I'd never have forseen it working, but it does. His age is not an issue, we get on like a house on fire.

    question for girls

    I don't know if I would want to know. It would probably make me feel terrible, as I'm pretty insecure like that.

    I have become everything I hate

    Firstly, :hug: a big hug. I totally understand where you're coming from, but in a slightly different way. I constantly look up to my "old" self, so much so that I think I put myself on a pedestel. When I was about 14, I was (in my eyes) a really good person and a good Christian. Now, I feel...

    Is there something wrong with me?

    Physical beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I really believe this... When you like someone, you end up loving how they look like, even if it had not previously been your "ideal". When I was with my ex-boyfriend, everything about him seemed perfect to me. I loved the way he looked. Even...

    Is there something wrong with me?

    I think a lot of people wish they were prettier cos of [insert particular physical insecurities here]. Heck, I could give you a list of the things I'd change about myself. But when looking for a boyfriend... I dont think it matters what you look like. This is gonna sound like SUCH a cliche...

    how do you get over someone?

    I'm in a similar situation... My boyfriend of 2 1/2 years just broke up with me... and it hits hard. I guess it's those 2 things that we all hate; time, and patience. Time heals. Cry out to God. Your feelings aren't just gonna go away. You will need to grieve for a while. It really hurts, but...

    insight into discontentedness

    I totally hear you. I know exactly what you mean. I vary between those 2 conflicting emotions... contentedness and discontentedness. Like you, I've just come out of a serious relationship with a Christian guy, and I'm not even entirely sure of the reasons it had to finish. But, like you said...

    What's your 'type'?

    I just look for someone I get on well with, who can make me laugh and smile, and who loves me and cares for me back. Physically... I never normally go for blondes. But I'm not hugely fussy. Tend to prefer skinny guys though, not sure why.

    Fasting for something/someone

    I am considering fasting for the healing of my boyfriend's health problems. Is this Biblical? I don't really know very much about fasting, so any verses/insights/whatever would be really helpful. Thanks!
