  • 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.

I'm afraid of my parents dying before I am ready to let them go.

I am afraid of being widowed (and I'm not even married yet!)

Gee, I must sound so dependent. But my fears are more grounded in the fact that I've barely experienced loss through death (just two grandparents, with which of whom I was close to neither), and I am afraid that my first real loss will come from the circle of those dearest to my heart. I am afraid I won't know how to let them go, particularly if they go at the prime of life.

I am afraid of my parents dying to. I couldn't handle it! I am afraid of dying an untimely death, I am afraid of my childrens future in this world. Now, I'm afraid of global warming. Although I've had blessings that have said I will live a long happy life..

So, I am struggling with faith. I'm working on it!

I'm afraid of drugs even when I'm having a casual beer. Been there, done that, not cool.

I'm afraid of weakness, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay the people who watched over me when I didn't watch over them.

Death is easy, life's the tricky bit.

im afraid of spiders that look like the daddy long legs, only because they look wierd
and standing on a dead end bridge in the middle of an ocean, while having to choose between jumping into the ocean or being shot. :eek: :cry: i'd hate that. :swoon:

In random order
a) anything that bites, crawls, slides and is annoying ie. cockroaches, bugs, worms, snakes, spiders, mozzies.
b) drowning cuz i cant swim therefore in response to the quote ^^ i'd rather be shot.
c) not being able to have children. being a mum to quite a few children is the main thing i want to be in my life and if i cant have that change then it would be devestating.
d) something bad happening to my boyfriend. i have this reoccuring dream that he dies in a car crash *shudders* so i dont want that to happen ever.
e) i dont want to die painfully. if i found out months before i was guna die that thats wat was guna happen, i'd be ok with it, as long as it wasnt painful.
f)the dark- i love lying in bed thinkin in the dark, but i cant walk around even my own house in the dark cuz of shadows, noises etc.
g) that i'm going to get sicker and end up in hospital

Death and hell are big ones for me. I struggled with major anxiety over those fears a few months back. I kept imagining God as this great powerful figure just waiting for me to "mess up." I despaired for weeks, but in the end it actually led me to a stronger faith than I have ever had.

I know if I just have faith God will take care of me. It's hard sometimes. The devil keeps trying to revive the fear. He knows it worked before, so, he keeps trying. I won't let him win though!

Some amount of fear is healthy, but an overwhelming amount becomes dangerous. Faith should rule your life, not fear!

God bless. :)
