  • 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

    Advice On Abusive Pastors?

    My father is not the senior pastor, no. Just the worship pastor and the church he ministers in is a First Assembly of God/Pentecostal, if this answers your question properly :)

    Advice On Abusive Pastors?

    My family and I actually used to go to a Christian one a couple years back, but stopped after 5 visits, it was mostly for me though. I do plan on seeking a new one when my husband and I can financially afford it, outside of church based one, since the experience with church based wasn't all...

    Advice On Abusive Pastors?

    I also would like to mention I can understand why my mother does act this way, as it has been a line of abuse events in her family line. Her father, from his father and ect. So I don't fully blame her, but I do not excuse it at the same, as she might not even realize what she's doing! But I...

    Advice On Abusive Pastors?

    This is quite true that they are human and we all slip up and is sadly just part of the world we're born into, but there should be growth in your walk and loving change, I have not yet seen that in them over their 9 years in ministry and they have never shown any fruits of the spirit in the...

    Advice On Abusive Pastors?

    I had no idea where to put this and felt this might be the best place, given what it's directed at? If not, I'm more than happy to move it to where it needs to be! Sorry if it's a little too long and emotional, I've been struggling hardcore with my family abuse. The people on topic are in...

    Confused on what to think with this dream

    To give some hindsight on my faith and past; I grew up in the church but have never really "known" God intimately, my faith is literally the size of a mustard seed right now and I'm fighting hard against my past and still current oppression that's blowing out the flame every second. Around...
