  • 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

Challenging question for the men

I have made a few male friends in Singles, they are more like sons. But I am struck with how open they are to listening to problems, offering to pray, etc. The more mature single men don't seem near as open or caring. Why is that? Do mature men think if a woman needs a listening ear, she wants more than a listening ear? :confused: One of the best friends I have is a young man I met on here a couple years ago, I am blessed, I know we will be friends forever. I pray that not all mature men have been so beaten up by life that Christ cannot renew and restore their compassion without fear. On the other hand, I know that many women (and men) have some major issues and no one wants to walk blindly into that. I just wish I could have the friendship with someone my age that I have with my young friends.
