  • 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

There are times when I am my own best friend.There are other times when I am my own worse enemy. Some things I say are just in jest.For example Rodney Dangerfield's"Hey,I don't get no respect!" Or in my case,"Hey,I do not get no chicks!"

I forgot. There WAS a time that a woman came on to me,when I was married to my first wife. I was in my early thirties. This woman was in her late fifties or early sixties. I was on a cruise. She walked up to me in the ship's casino. While I was playing the slot machine,She started touching the top of my head,while playing with my hair.She walked away and gave me a "come hither" look. There was no way that I was going to follow her.
My wife,her aunt,my mother-in-law,and my father-in-law were all on that same ship. They just were not in the casino at the time.

Also,one reason that I bring up so many senarios,is that I have had many times "up at bat to the plate". I will just have to stop "keeping score".

Sometimes,I feel as if GOD and Satan are playing a game. When enternity comes,whoever has the most souls win. Even in the Book of Revelation,John wrote,"And I saw a number that NO man could number"
To back up my point,do you remember the story of Job? Satan made a "wager" with GOD,that if GOD took away all of Job's blessings,that Job would curse GOD. We all know how that game turned out. GOD won and Satan lost.:)
Even with the cruxifiction of Jesus,Satan must have thought that he had won by influencing Caiaphas' and Judas' hearts. But GOD had our redemption "game plan" in mind before the foundation of the world was established.

Also,I thank GOD that he has given me a sense of humor to deal and to cope with my struggles in life. Whenever someons asks me what I do for a living.They ask me about my training to get my job. I tell them that I was trained in the U.S.Navy.Since I was in the Navy during the Vietnam War,I am asked did I see any combat. I tell them,"No.The ONLY combat I've ever seen was when AFTER I got out of the Navy,after I got.... MARRIED!" I get a big belly laughing response EVERY time! :)


LIKE that you're on the winning side!

Hi,

I've recently started dating following Christian guidelines. To my understanding this means I shouldn't really be with a woman I'm dating in my flat alone together or at her place.

There are no "Christian guidelines" for dating, except that if you decide to be intimate you should marry.

There are innocent at home activities: Watch a movie or a sports game, cook a meal, go for a swim in the pool or play a board game like Sequence.

BBM I just recently played this game for the first time with my SIL! Pretty cool game cuz you can still converse while playing. Pretty fun too! Of course I won all the games we played, except one round. But I still would have had fun even if I didn't win.

BBM exit.....you get what you say, words are containers, they have weight and meaning, so why not change your speech....might change your life, you never know :wave:
Hey Michelle,this is not really that off topic.
Ernest Borgnine,mostly famous for playing in MC Hale's Navy,and the prison guard who beat Frank Sinatra's character to death in "From here To Enternity",passed away a couple of days ago.
His only Oscar was from a Movie,from 1955,named,"Marty",which is about an insecure man who meets and falls in love with a woman who is also insecure. This
is a famous line from that movie:

Marty Pilletti: Ma, sooner or later, there comes a point in a man's life when he's gotta face some facts. And one fact I gotta face is that, whatever it is that women like, I ain't got it.


WoW! what a coincidence.I never saw this movie! This movie came out when I was one year old.

Just thought that I would just share this,as Ernest Borgnine was never considered a Ladies' Man.
