  • 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

I coach swimming. One of my athletes is battling Bulimia. She has been bingeing and purging for over a year. About 6 weeks ago her mother caught her and she is getting professional help. I am one of the only people she will talk to about this and she is hiding it from the rest of the team and a college team she has signed to swim for next year. Yesterday she was suicidal and talking about cutting her wrists. She called her Mom to come get her from practice because I did not trust her to be alone or drive home. I thought her Mom would get her into some inpatient facility but she was back at practice today saying she is OK. Please pray for her, her family, and wisdom for me to know what to do with this situation.

>>wisdom for me to know what to do with this situation.

A lot of that is just mind battles. The "cure" is to put on the mind of Christ and think the divine thoughts of God.

John 10:10a The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

Philip. 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

I used to have a friend who has bulimia. It is not something you can ignore, you have to get some help for it. An easy starting place might be to buy some books about others who have struggled with it, and who have overcame it. You can win the battle!

I have a friend with the same problem, and I'm at a loss because she won't let anyone help her, at all.
She hasn't told her parents, and as far as I know, they are unaware of her tendancies.
She's partly anorexic, partly bolemic. any help on the matter would be appreciated.

Bulimia is caused by a feeling of not being in control of her life and not being able to deal with frustrations. It is a slow suicide. She isn't going to just "get over" this.

Call her mom again and tell about what is going on. The girl needs to get into serious treatment before she ruins her body and maybe her life. This is extremely serious.

If you knew she was having a heart problem, you wouldn't just ignore it, would you? Yet many bulimics die of heart failure.

Heavenly Father, this girl is slowly killing herself and talking about speeding up the process with intentional suicide. She must be in a lot of pain about something, but she is unable to express it except through bulimia. She is begging for help in many ways. Please open everyone's ears and show them the pain that is trapped inside her. GEt her into good treatment and help her become healthy. Amen.
