• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I spent nearly 24 hours with my account banned. I requested it be banned. Too many friendship problems, I was having.

In the future, if someone wants to be my friend, I'm going to ask tons of questions like, "What will happen if we become best friends? Will you be able to take on that responsibility?"

I'm a pretty needy person, and if the other side's solution to everything is something along the lines of "Trust God", then yeah, it can cause problems.

Sorry if this offends anyone, but I need to start telling the truth, to avoid being hurt.

Haha yeah I know what you mean it's easy to say trust in God but it's also about comforting someone. You wouldn't say to a hungry person trust God to feed you you'd just give them a meal because God provided you for their needs in the moment when they needed comfort.

I hope people don't isolate and take that out of context!
I mean yes we should trust God to feed us all but if someone comes up to us and is hungry and we can give them something we should give them food not just words of comfort.

I did a similar thing, in another online community. but instead of requesting a ban, i just didn't post for an entire week. i still PMed my buds and gave Likes, but I didn't say a single word in the public forum. was hard, because i had almost nobody to talk to.

You don't really need expectations on people, just some basic standards for yourself.
