So discouraged

I have to take breaks often.

Yes, I also take breaks. Sometimes CF wears me down, and I can't remember why the Christian faith is even a good thing to belong to. When I get there, it's time to walk away from the computer for a while.

So?

Don’t worry about it. Post as much as you want. That’s what the place is here for.

Michie, you're a gem, but not everyone can thrive like you, the way you trod along.

This is an advice thread. It’s not about Michie. You have a problem with Michie, take it to Michie or the staff.

So, there's data available to evaluate activity.

I think we all know that. But thanks anyway.

You've got me all wrong.

Sorry if I do but it’s not the topic of the thread.

No, not everyone knows that. You may not like what I have to say and I know you can have me banned as quick as lightning, but not before I remind you that you don't own the place.

You asked the question "So?" I answered.

Grin Michie. You always make me smile.

Anyway, hang in there. Just give it time and you’ll find your niche as you familiarize your self with the different forums.

I hear you. I get depressed. The sheer amount of negative out there is tough. Sometimes it's good to take a break and "Christian" in the real world for a while. It helps. An EO poster mentioned that we tend to say things to each other on-line that we wouldn't dare say to anyone in person, and that's true.

When I came to Christian Forums I was happy and full of faith and hope. Now I am at a loss and feel there is no hope. So what should I do? Just no longer come to the forums?

I would like to know what happened.

Been in American politics and news a lot last few days. That is where I seem to get discouraged and in trouble with administration.

I would seek the Father in His word. Read the OT and see how He protected His chosen from their enemies. Pray for understanding always. This helps me stay grounded.

It can be frustrating at times, Broken Fence. But as one who has been "reported" by assorted posters her on C.F. 3 or 4 times over the past few years, for who knows exactly what reason (political, maybe?), I just let it roll and continue to interact with other folks. I even remain committed to a personal policy of NEVER reporting others here on C.F., even if I don't like their viewpoint or I think they may be trolls.

No matter what we do, since there is such a wide variety of people involved in these forums, there is always the likelihood for some head-butting with others or for others to simply try to remove our opinion from the public place. With that said, this is one reason why I scarcely enter into the political forums because some of these people are way too invested in their political ideology---some are atheists and don't care how they oppose Christians; and some Christians here apparently think their choice of political parties emanates somehow from the power of the Holy Spirit and/or the Bible.

Unless you're looking to take on any viewpoint like I might, just try to find that 10 to 20% of fellow Christians here who may share your own general angle on things and focus on talking to them for the most part. You'll probably feel better that way.
