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.

i would say its never a waste of time to have an accountability partner. but have you tried a journal or something of the like. make it kind of like a prayer journal. and God will be your accountability partner. you couldn't ever ask for a better one. he always sees you and always cares about you. and he always has time to listen to you. the only thing is you have to take time to listen to him. take time to read the bible everyday or as often as you can. take time to be quiet and listen and just be silent before the Lord.
think about it this way. you don't get to be great friends with someone by never talking to them or only having one sided conversations it takes communication inorder to have a relationship. hope that puts you on the right path or helps or something

Relying on accountability partners is a bad, bad idea. That's why so many Christians fall away when they aren't around other Christians or when they leave home to go to college - they never internalized the values. As long as you see your values and Christian values as separate, you always going to be an excuse away from following your values. Decide what you want in life, what your values are, and follow them regardless of what others think.

Accountabilty partners are a great idea. I had one when I was single. And I should have one now, but haven't really got to know any men my age at church yet. Just make sure you know the person well and trust is earned before spilling all the beans to that person. And it is always wise to have a same gender acc. partner. It could get messy otherwise. But a journal is also a good idea and devotionals. Good luck with it.
