  • 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.

Here is the Second part of my Testimony.

I was on Warfarin for about 7 months I finished in Jan of this year 2012. Even though I had thanked the Lord on that Sunday it wasn't until Feb this year 2012 that I gave my life to Christ. I thought i could go to the bloodstock festival but i couldn't and the friends i thought i had were not. I went out a couple of times but I didnt feel like it as one what i went through having a blood colt apprently makes you tired and just fall a sleep althought that doent happen now. In December I was in a relationship with a guy i had known for about 8 year and thought we would make a go of it but by Feb thing when wrong but in a good way wrong like it was ment to be. I week after valentines day I was sitting at my computer and I thought Id go get a drink half way down the stairs I got hit my this great big ball of love and my heart felt so warm I just knew it was the Lord Spirit and that I was loved, it made me stop then i went down the other half and picked up my sister youth bible and found under depression a title called the walls came tumbling down and next to that Psalm 30 was giving the first bit that really hit me was this:

"I will exalt you O Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. O Lord, you brought me up from the grave, you spared me from going down into the pit."

Reading that first part brought tears to my eyes and I wanted to know the Lord more from that moment on I gave my life to Christ at that very moment. After I told my bf he was happy but was not prepared to give up the life style of BDSM like i was he still wanted to do all these freaky things and i had grown out of it and it was just not right. So i said that it between us. after that I found a Church and then in June this year I was Baptized I was ready to follow Christ to commit myself and also I have been to a Christian festival called Soul Survivor there I had 3 experiences with the holy spirit the first one was telling me to let go of the blame for my grandparents and aunt and uncles death as i was very young and didn't understand it was not my fault i was told, the second was helping me to be able to talk to people who do not know Jesus to give me the boldness to talk about Christ the third was i was still feeling like voices where telling me no one likes me the group that you make friends with you don't like you, leave now no one will notice, I started to pray to the Lord and when we started worshiping i felt something good go in me and something evil came out of me i felt so good i had a smile on my face ever since.

Now my life is so much happier I no longer suffer from depression i don't take any medication. I have been wearing a purity ring since about late March early May as i promise to myself and one i made to the Lord to abstain from sex until marriage. I also do not drink anymore that was down to a bad experience with a cousin of mine who drunk to much whilst on holiday and ruined my holiday as i was roommate that put me off drink for good also I dont want to go down the same path again i only had it to boost my confidence but since I had the Holy Spirit in my life that gives me the boost i need these days.

All that I am struggling with now is to loose my weight, i must admit i do get my bad days but they are not bad days like they use to be. I cant see my old self anymore only the real me changed for the better and have now got a nice Christian group of friends.
