• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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

My family and I moved here to southern Alabama a few years ago. I think 3 years ago?

At first, we went and lived in a relatively nice and peaceful neighborhood here in the City of Mobile.

Well, unfortunately, we had a neighbor living directly across the street from us who I am almost 100% certain was a pimp of some kind. Ladies were constantly going in and out from his house and he had a pimped out car, everything.

I am sure there was some form of prostitution going on in his house.

As a Christian, I did not interact with him. I was always taught to stay away from the wrong crowd and according to the Bible, prostitution is not allowed and I think its gross anyway. We are supposed to keep ourselves sexually pure until we get married.

Down here in South Alabama we have a culture of gangsters and pimps, unfortunately, so it seems. Can't seem to get totally away from them, even if I want to. And I do. A church lady like me feels out of place among these criminals.

Sex trafficking is illegal and more egregious is human trafficking young girls. If you know there is an illegal operation occurring consider reporting it. Also, get a ring camera focused on your neighbor so you document the activities. It is our duty as Christians to love one another and when there is harm against women , it needs to get busted. I know it would weigh on my conscience if I just stood idle. My prayers for you, your family and the girls being exploited.
Be blessed. :prayer:

We don't live in that particular neighborhood anymore, so I can't actually track the guy or get a camera fixed on him. We live in a totally different neighborhood in a totally different house.

Bbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttt I do indeed know where he lives so I guess I could go and report him anyway! Thanks for your advice. :clap: Heehee.
