  • 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.

Didymus, I'm sorry that you are going through this, but if it's any comfort to you, then let me tell you of how God can use all situations to His benefit.

when i was 18, I was searching for God, I met some people who proffessed to be Christians , they were actually a religious sect, but i did not know that at the time. Thinking that God had guided me to these people, thinking that it was what God wanted me to do, I sold almost everything i had, packed my bag and my dog, and left my family behind.

I spent 2 or 3 years, intermittantly with them. But I found Jesus 'in spite' of being involved with such a fanatical and unholy sect. I cried out for the Lord to enter my life, and he did, in a very real way. When i realised that where i was, was not the place that God wanted me to be, I left, and i left with nothing. I was dumped in a City i had never visited before and i was scared.

I have experienced a great deal since that time, but my relationship with Jesus has only grown stronger. Allow your daughter to make the mistakes that she needs to make, or walk the road that she needs to walk, and if you keep your loving arms open, she will know that she can always walk back into your embrace.

I know you are hurting, i devastated my parents with my actions. I went for over a year not seeing them, my phone calls to them were restricted and i was not even allowed to post letters except very rarely. But i knew that they loved me, no matter what i was being told about them not being my 'family' anymore.

to cut a long story short, I now have an incredibly rewarding relationship with my parents. I love and adore them and cherish every day that i have them in my life. There is always hope. Pray for your daughter every day and every night and have faith in the Lords ability to turn all situations around. God Bless and guide you and your family :)
