  • 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.

Tonight has been just awful. I really was having a great day until I came home for dinner, and the arguments just flared up like most nights. The arguments which happen around here are not just bad, they are nasty, vicious, and they really cut you down. Its really not good to be caught up in the middle of them, but the worst thing of all is when they are directed at you. I had to eat a few bites quickly and then escape upstairs, but they are still arguing down there and I hate that. People should just lay off people, you know? Dont harp on everything people did wrong, just let them know what they did and then move on. Cf has been a great place of escape. I really need all of your prayers for peace within my family, because without them I do not think I will be able to survive the next 3 years.

Brother Charlie, I feel so bad for you! You are in my prayers.

A good thing to remember is that you are part of a HUGE family of sould in heaven and earth. We are actually just lent to the family we grow up in.

I'm so glad that you have OBOB to help you out...we'll always be here for you and the Lord's Spirit will always be a comfort in your heart.

It's such a pitty that all folks don't resolve their differences in Christ-like fassion...Imagine what a world this would be...but it's not...jsut take a walk or drive down the orad to see evidence of that! Then again, that is why we are here in "excile" and our true home awaits us in heaven!

Take Heart Charlie, Our Lord is with you always!

Peace in Christ!

Yet another survivor of a dysfunctional family praying for you!

:crosseo:

(Is there such a thing as a "normal" family?)


Wishing you all the best!

There is apparently such a thing, yes. Unfortunately, neither you nor I had the good fortune to experience this wonderful phenomenon. :sigh:

I'm gonna pray for you, too. :crossrc:

I'll be praying for you. I have a bad situtation at my house with my dad and my brother. My brother doesn't listen to either to my parents for no reason and thinks he's always right. My Dad says it willl "come to a head" soon, and said it will probably come down to violence. They're both so freaking hard headed. :mad:
