• 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

I don't really have any phobias. I don't really look at things with a fear but rather a mutual respect. If I was to fear things such as animals or what not, there would be too much; lions, tiger, bears, sharks, etc. So I don't really look at things with a fear but a respect. I like to try new things and see for my self if I like it. It may be a little scary the first time but after that the fear is gone. The first step is the hardest. I guess if I was to pick one thing it would be on the idea of GL's. I do not want to become locked up in a home or unable to tend for my self. I can't even imagine still having my mind but not being able to use my body.

Stage fright!!! I stopped singing in the choir because of it. I get a weird feeling that I'm going to faint or I feel like EVERYONE is looking only at ME! Man, I hate it!

Another mild phobia is being in a room with lots of fish tanks (like an aquarium), and being in a pet store with glass cases full of creepy animals like tarantulas and scorpions*shivers*

I am deathly afraid of bees, wasps or any other bug that bites or stings. I guess it comes from being allergic to them - including mosquitos. I have actually had panic attacks if a bee or wasp starts flying around me. It is a terrible fear and I get hysterical.

I'm also claustrophobic, but I am slowly but surely overcoming that fear. Just don't put me in an elevator with a bee! Hehe :)
