• 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.

help my mum is controlling my life I can't do what I want, I'm 34 years old still living at home, not allowed to do anything, always constantly criticising and cursing me, never blessing. She is unbelievably hard and restrictive, while claiming to protect me. She thinks she literally owns me body and soul. I am not even allowed to do what I like with my own hard-earned cash.

I need to break free, please, ask God for mercy and grace..I'm coming to breaking point. I am meant to honor her to have a long life..but I don't feel I can live that long if I stay here any longer.

I am not a baby but she treats me like one and doesn't trust me to do anything. She doesn't do that to any of my other siblings. I don't know what to do. Please pray. Hope that something good comes soon.

Yes, am sorting through some issues with family trust now, hopefully today we can get something done, or soon. May need to sell on of the houses so I can get my share. Can you all please pray for this, that it all goes smoothly and I will be able to invest the money in the things God wants me to invest in.

Praying for u. It must be hard coping with a situation like this. How come she doesn't treat your other siblings this way?

cos I had a mental breakdown once and she thinks I can't be trusted to be sensible. I don't know. I've recovered but she doesn't think so. She reckons I am ill for the rest of my life. God helped me recover and grow stronger and grounded but she still doesn't see it. I don't have to prove myself I know Jesus. She is unbelieving and hates Jesus. She calls me 'ridiculous' a lot. I know its not really her but demons making her like this...going waaay back. From her mother and so on until you reach confucious times. I don't know how to break it off her, as she won't listen to me. She pretended once, but never took hold. I tried to explain the gospel, even have bibles in her language but she's not interested.

Lord, let her Mother see what she is doing wrong and let her not be so cruel to Goodbook. Let her be able to move out on her own and not have to be mistreated. Be there for Goodbook and show her you are listening, that everything will be okay. I pray for this, in Jesus name, Amen.

Bless my brothers and sisters in their prayers Lord. I really need help. Sometimes I get confused about whether my mum really loves me or hates me..or just loves me to death.

Things are happening..thank you. I am going to buy my own place or travel..don't know where yet.
