• 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

Back after a long hiatus. Doing pretty well. Not sure how long I'll stick around as I find myself easily influenced, but I'm happy with my current state of believing what I want. I let all the different opinions mess me up pretty bad last time.

I don't take the internet or what's said on it seriously anymore. Things may not be getting that much worse in the world, but the internet and the commenting systems (forums, news sites, etc) have really gone downhill. Can't go a day without someone getting fired in the world for posting controversial opinions about their job or confidential information about their job on the internet for everyone to see, to get their 5 minutes of fame. "Everyone" just has a "I don't like people. But hey, look at my swag personality!" attitude anymore.

Well, don't have much else to say. But just wanted to say hi.

Welcome!

The youth preacher featured below believes that as infants we were injected with the following drugs...

1. Acceptance
2. Appreciation
3. Approval

And goes on to say that we have been addicted to these three drugs at a very young age, and that it robs us of our true individuality. I think as we grow older, and become more satisfied with who we are, that these three drugs are no longer needed for us to feel good, as we are contented as to who we are.

In the spur of the moment, I blocked a few people before I left. I didn't really have sufficient reason to block them, and don't believe in censorship at least not like this, so I'm going to unblock them.

That being said, I've really grown into a smart, kind of alt-right seeker of Truth (no smaller case t) and have allowed myself to become hardened but in the right way of allowing myself to become hardened to outside influences. I'm happy where I am though - try to change it, and I might have to resort to temporarily blocking again.

All being said, I appreciate the warm welcomes back!!!
