  • 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.

JessB - what are your resources? Car or other motorized transportation? If you have that, you can get into Orlando, which is huge and has everything you are looking for. Post your message on church bulletin boards, it will just take pieces of paper and some thumbtacks.



I am very introverted and avoid human contact as much as possible so my skills at meeting people are not well developed. And as a non-Christian I am not welcome in church groups so I don't know off the top of my head what is available.



Having said that, I visit Orlando often and see church groups everywhere. Plenty of people out and about for you to meet and become friends with.

I looked into going to a christian college but I just didn't feel God leading me in that direction. He has really made a path for me to do clinical pharmacy (hospital/ cancer pharmacy) and I have yet to find a christian college that even offers the prerequisites. There is still part of me that wishes I went but I don't think that was were I was meant to be.

Heh, do they have any large christian singles conferences in Florida? You wouldn't believe how hard it is to meet guys to date...

I know that there are Catholic Singles Conferences in the Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete area and as I drive around the area, I see tons of other churches with "Singles night etc" on their signs. Ask your pastor.

Great suggestion!
Or, JessB, you could also hit the internet to find area churches with active Young Adult programs. I know several people have joined the singles group at my church - not that they attend the church or even that religion - they've just read the announcements on the website and shown up. For me, I'd probably call or e-mail the group contact so I wouldn't be walking into a TOTALLY strange group of folks. Some people can do that. I'm not one of them tho

basicly the way most people do it is the enroll at the Bible college and live there, taking like 1-2 Bible classes, then commute to the local state school taking their desired classes there, this way they can graduate with a certificate from the Bible college or just get a good solid Bible back ground then go on and finish at the state school.

Which hospital??? Leesburg's very nice. It's so quiet compared to Orlando. I know this is weird, but, aside from all the senior citizens, it almost reminds me of being back in Jacksonville. There more of a community feeling here than there is in Orlando.
