  • 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

You all must live in interesting parts of the world where everyone dresses trashy. Our thift stores around here have more modest clothing, especially for the plus sizes.

If you mean by modest clothing that the outfits should look like Amish-wear, there are plenty of MCC thrift stores within an hour's drive of here. I wouldn't expect to see any in Australia, but Danfrey, don't you live in PA?
I would call our style of dress semi-plain. My son and I wear button up shirts 95% of the time, but we do wear jeans occaisonally. I mentioned above that we buy Kiara's jumpers at the thrift stores. I think Jehane may have meant junk clothing by "trashy" (correct me if I am wrong) I don't know if they use the phrase "trashy" to mean immodest in Australia.

I try to have Kiara dress in a way that does not stand out as much a capedress would because she attends a public school on an Air Force base in Delaware. I hope that she will wear her jumpers to school, so we try to find a balance without asking her to be a martyr at school. She handles it like a trooper. Candice used to pick her up from school wearing cape and cover. Most of the time she was respected, but occaissionally someone would take offense. It is a wierd situation having child that is the daughter with a Contientious Objector father and an active duty Air Force mother.

Nope, I meant immodest. We get enough U.S t.v & such like to understand a fair bit of American slang. Its more intimate, everyday words that often lose me - like jumper!

Huh? Your daughter sounds great.

Sorry!!! I've muddled the quotes in together & have no idea how to fix it. :doh: Sorrow.
