• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

What's your native language? Maybe there's a sub-forum for it?

I'm trying to improve my English, too, and the problem with English books I'm currently experiencing is, that I'm too lazy to look up all the words I don't know. If I'm reading a 1000-pages-novel, for example, it's very frustrating to stop reading 5-10 times a page and look the words up. Of course, the meaning of many words can be concluded from the context, but you never can be sure, that way.

Maybe the English native can give us some more tips? ;)
