• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 not allowed to watch ANYTHING!

Well, now that depends on a few things. If an 18 year old still lives with his/her parents then the parents spiritual wishes should be respected.
IMO, if your parents are misguided you need to defy them. You should consider what they think, but then at 18 you should be mature enough to choose what's best in terms of entertainment. As long as you don't let what's on television sway your thinking or your actions, which a sane person knows how to do anyway, you shouldn't be worried about watching harder stuff than Fairly Odd Parents or something, by age 16.

This is quite funny for me to read now as I am completely over this issue. :) I still watch what I watch, but it's my choice now. My parents were right in what they did. I'm going to do the same thing with my kids!

You know when you look back on these things where your parents say "You'll thank me one day.." yeah, this is one of those things!! :)

Regardless of how old my sons get I have the right to say what type of movies or music is watched in my home. They will choose to watch what they want when they are away from home but for spiritual reasons they are certain types of music and movies that will not be allowed in my home by my children or any other guests.
