• 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.

am doing research for an article on the factor our faith plays in choosing medical treatment. If you are interested in helping out, please email answers to the questions below to Amy at research.help @ gmail.com (without the spaces).

Depending on responses, I may contact you with more in-depth questions or possibly set up a phone interview. Your response indicates your approval to use your quotes in the article, but I will contact you prior to finalizing the work for final approval and of course will use your name.

1. Please briefly describe your religious habits. Do you attend church and/or bible study? How often? What denomination?

2. What role does your faith play in your life? Is it at the forefront or does it meld into the background somewhere?

3. Have you noticed that conventional medicine just isn't working for some of your ailments? If not, have you considered other forms of healing?

4. Do you have experience with homeopathy? If yes, please briefly detail including what led you to that form of medicinal healing.

5. Do you have experience with osteopathy? If yes, please briefly detail including what led you to that form of medicinal healing.

6. Do you include physical healing in your prayer life? How has that worked for you?

7. General comments regarding your faith, prayer life and medicinal treatments/experience are appreciated!

Thank you again for taking the time to offer your insight. It is tremendously valuable to me!
