  • 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.

Last summer me and a friend got in a really big fight. I'll admit I did alot of damage
by gossiping about her and complaining how mean she was to me. I believe she really was mean to me.
I have tried apologizing to her but she doesnt want to hear it.She says she accepts my apology but
never wants anything to do with me,and will never trust me again or be friends with me again.
I have asked Gods forgiveness and know he has forgiven me,and am in counseling to help me to improve myself. However this happened in august,and it still hurts. It hurts that she doesn't even want to look at me anymore,and I was just wondering when and how I can finally be healed from this wound.

Nothing can make the hurt go away except time. I had a friend cut me out of their life with no explanation a couple of years ago, and when I tried to reconnected it was thrown back in my face. The friend did the same thing to my now-husband. Both of us hurt over it still, but time has dulled the wound and we have ended up just giving it to God. We pray for him and are here willing to rekindle the friendship if he desires it, but we have moved on because there is nothing else to do.
