• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

PLease pray for my little boy. He stuggles with a specific learning difficulty- as yet not properly diagnosed, and he is extremely frustrated by life's practicalities. We have hit an obstacle in the process of getting him seen by medical folk. He is a bright lad on the verge of quitting trying. He believes himself to be 'rubbish at everything' when in fact he is a bright and talented fellow. He just cannot accept praise- I dunno. Just please pray that his path maight be made a little bit smoother, and that he wold be less anxious about things. He is eight.

Please pray for me as I have a lot on my plate on the moment. I am going through a tough time with recovery from being abused as a child. I am also starting senior year as of Monday. I am considering re-applying as a debate moderator on here. Please just pray that things go smoother for me.

On Tuesday, February 24, my mother will be at a hearing over the status of her unemployment benefits. Her former employer is saying she is ineligible for unemployment because she left voluntarily, when my mother was actually laid off. If they find against my mother, she will not only lose her unemployment benefits, but also have to pay back what she has already received.

Apparently this kind of fraudulent behavior from employers is becoming more and more common, according to the Washington Post.

Update (2/24): Thankfully, my mother's former employer never showed up to the hearing, so the board found in her favor by default. The employer still has a couple of weeks to appeal the decision, however.

Update (3/24): The employer has not appealed the decision, and I think by now enough time has elapsed that they have lost their right to do so. Yay! Now we just need to find a job...

Hi everybody, I'm submitting on behalf of the lady who is primary leader of the women's group at the UUA church my wife and I attend. She just got home from 5 weeks in hospital from a nasty scare with diverticulitis. In her words, she's alive but weak as a dishrag right now. She's in her 60s and hitherto was very vibrant. We just heard from her by email so I have no idea how she is in person as of yet.
