  • 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.

Ann interesting old email.

I sent this as an email over a year ago to my 'now' fiance... He was just a "friend" then... Isn't it interesting how sometimes pain canm bring out the most insight in someone... I just love reading over it as it gives me insight into feelings of many people not just me... Read and enjoy, but remember few details that would identify me have been removed...

Me? I'm inperfected, a 18 year old girl from ................. My favourite
colour is pink, and favourite smell is "grapefruit". In the past year
i have learnt many things. Number 1 is give all you have, it's all you
have. But in the same way i've learnt another lesson. If you give all
of your emotions away, you have excatly that left. Nothing. But when
that's what you have always done, since the first time you learnt to
trust someone, it's harder than you would imagine to hold back the
emotion and the trust.

When you get to the beginning of a new year, and realised you've
played your best friend, you forget where or how to turn. The words
"breaking up ain't easy" course thorugh my head. However it's not
actually breaking up, and it's worse than that, becuase it's your
bestest friend. It's that person who you lean on when stuff gets too
tough, and the one who now sums up the quote, "what do you do when the
only one who can dry your tears is the one who made you cry". But then
you see, it's not for your sake you can't go to him, but for his. You
want to protect his heart.

and then you see that speaking in the third person, is so much less
emotional and painful, than the first person.

Maybe it's time for a break, maybe we are just to push on through.
Maybe it's time for this friendship to end.

I never wanted to hurt you. You are my best friend, i wanted to love
you, yet hearts can't be forced.

I'm sorry ...........

Well in the (seemingly short) months since then, we got closer and closer in friendship but also closer to the idea of marriage (don't ask... I didn't like him enough, but was considering marrying the guy on all the other aspects of him). Then in april we began going out... and we quickly relised that it was for keeps (for him it'd been for keeps since the start, me only for a few months). So within 2.5 months we got engaged and been the same since.
