  • 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

    No Relationships before marriage

    Dating your friend's ex

    Doesn't sound like you are all that interested in him..are you? The reason I ask is because of the way you described your relationship with him and the fact that making it more is purely his idea. If you are not interested in him, then there is no need to alarm the girl. If you are, then tell...

    Why ask other singles?

    DING DING DING DING DING DING DIGN!!!! In general, for advice, hopefully we are consulting people in our lives like friends we can sit down and talk to or pastors we can go out to lunch with etc etc. I think this forum is more for encouragement to know that you are not alone more than anything...

    Lead me on ...

    I just find it funny how Stan started to look like a jerk as soon as his interest level in her dropped. There are many threads on this board like that. Guys become jerks as soon as they are not interested any longer. LOL...right.

    "A, B, and C" or "A, B and C"

    No last comma. "and" implies the end of the list.

    Anyone been thru this before?

    I've been through that exact situation. When she told me over the phone...my initial reaction was to ask "And you said yes!??!?!?" But in the end I kept my thoughts to myself and all I could muster was a weak "congratulations". Told her that I'd take her out to lunch. Lunch was difficult...

    What do you look for in the opposite sex?

    I agree RE: lists. At some point, one has to compromise for somethings when they meet their future mate. People cannot be described by lists.
