• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

There are people who believes that faith is the main reason why I am sick. I just don't find that in the bible. I am reading the same verses they are quoting but I am interpreting the verses differently than they are. Many of the remarks like that one person told me don't really bother me. I leave this to God's hand in that situation. Now.. if he start bothering me, that's a different story, I will report. So far, he has not bother me.

Reps for you, brother! :thumbsup:

I am deaf since birth, diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and diabetes.

In one thread, one poster said to me:
"Well then you really must be a very bad person because god is making all this happen to you"
:eek:

Now I feel as though I take my senses for granted.

there were times I wished I could hear, so I won't feel like I'm an odd person out when I'm socializing. I'd pay to hear what people take for granted.

That's really sad that people were told they couldn't post. I thought I was mean, but id never say, "hey you blind person, we don't allow your kind to post here" type thing.

I mean that's almost ...ugh... i cant think about it.
