• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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

People who enjoy bad things to happen to people? Does God forgive them? Like yourself? Are you saying you like it when bad things happen to good people? Not sure where you are going with this .... If your saying that if someone clearly gets satisfaction out of seeing someone else get hurt or punished, then that person has issues. Will God forgive them, ?? God can forgive anyone. Does God want that person to keep being that way? Of course not. Does God "enjoy" when bad things happen to people? Of course not...

I like yourself, do sort of the same thing. It's like, I want to hear bad news, and yet I don't. Like now, I am on alert to watch for specific things going on in the Middle East that tries to point to an "End of Times" a final war..., etc. It's almost a bad addiction.

Maybe someone who in some capacity enjoys to see misery in the world , is also miserable .

Can God forgive you ? Yes , of course . All things are possible with God . But just a hunch here , I would say God would like to see a change in attitude. ( to repent ) This seems to be the path to where He will forgive us : )

Well i dont know how to change exactly. I dont watch the news on purpose. So i cant change emotion does that make sense.
Well ,maybe asking God something like " Please God help me to be more sympathetic to my fellow men and women and the horrible things that some are going through , as you have blessed me day in and day out keeping me from disaster, in Jesus name I ask this today , amen "

: )

Maybe you take this energy, spent on worrying, doubting, concentrating on things you can't control and direct them towards God. You know what I am saying?
