• 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

Business transaction!

You got plenty of support. You just didn't get 100 percent agreement with you. In fact, I showed you that this issue was very possibly illegal in the US and you chose to ignore this. Best wishes.
Suzannah, thank you! I will not help my brother out, I just had my husband make the phone call to him. But now I feel bad that my brother may not get to show off his new home to our family, especially our Father. My husband said my brother was very upset at him and blamed my husband for controlling and manipulating this situation. I feel bad that my brother is so upset.:(

That's very sad that you feel responsible for everyone's feelings. This is not healthy. Please seek pastoral counseling for yourself and your family. You are entirely too involved in others feelings and consequences of the same, in my opinion. If you had helped your brother, you would very likely have ended up in prison and I surely would not want that for you. Best wishes.

;)YOu know, I don't thionk it very cool for some people on this board to be judging this person and her situation, nor treat her the way that you are, she asked a ?, so if you have nothing good to say, then keep it to yourself. I don't like seeing disrespect on the boards and it really makes me feel like not coming back. For grown people some really act like children.:sigh:
Actually, I judge the words posted, and when they start to not make sense, I call what I see.

I heard a quote today that said there's a fine line between a saint and a sucker.

You have already made it crystal clear that you are unwilling to repent of the disrespect you've shown your husband. Yet, you still appeal to us for support in your selfish behavior. Why?
I repent by my actions. I had a talk with my Father, I was upset at my brothers email, I was upset and talked to my brother when he called my husband a liar, I apologized to my in-laws for my parents rudeness, but the one thing I will never be convinced of is: THAT THEY MEAN TO DO THESE THINGS.

:sorry:

So why is your brother asking you to do this from over 400 miles away? I'm not understanding this.
Because I visit my brother twice a month, I am like a mother to his daughters,since his wife can be unstable at times, and it was very upsetting to me when we moved away 7 months ago, and I will be making arrangements shortly to live with my brother.
