• 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.

Hiyah Annie :wave:

Let me, first, say... that I identify the hope you have, of, some 'change' in me
with regard to the manner in which I respond to others, whom
express a 'difficulty' in perception / or, with matters, with which they, are unfamiliar
This, I term; 'being supportive' with, a personal resourcefulness

The 'ability' [gift] that this, is... is so-often, successfully dispensed
iow: beneficially received and enables others, to overcome their 'hurdles'
This, is derived from acquired insight and experience
and, is also... able to evolve, with further experience and learning

you propose several scenarios, regarding the vulnerability of the unborn
particularly the 'unwanted' foetus of it's biological parents
BUT, you do so, then, without considering, or, even including
the omnipresence of the Lord and His awesome power
It is my experience, that except, in the events, where life is deliberately terminated
these 'young people' show an extraordinary resilience, to all forms of debility/ abuse

I make no-secret, of my opinion concerning how the Bible should be read
particularly, my belief, that it should not... be read LITERALLY as His word
for that, it certainly is not
It is, undoubtedly, a resource... for, personal development, in humanity
BUT... it is not... the LAW [God's Law] on christianity
[this, is not for debate here]

re the virii,
the person's conscious brain currently isn't even aware, of the danger
the body is facing.
What is this child's mind to do? - the only thing it can, to survive:
it must change it's 'gene-expressions...,
and build the antibodies necessary, to continue learning

Here, I would 'assume' your mention of 'virii' is metaphorical
and actually refers to the many offensive and detrimental mechanisms
that can, threaten such a child's well-being
AND... here again, there is no obvious appreciation of, either
God's presence nor, surrender to His will for that individual
We know, for example
that our Lord, is able to affect MIRACLES in unexpected ways [?]

AND, who can claim to know, the Lord's Will, in any earthly matter [?]

When we pray to the Lord for 'an answer' and, we then hear nothing
our faith should support us, in believing that He, HAS heard us
but, that He might not answer in an expected way [?]

some preachers, & teachers, & the-rapists

Do you not know, that their fate has been sealed [?]
and, that only true repentance will save them [?]
It is not, for us to judge them... but we should submit
to those placed in authority over us having greater jurisdiction [right, or, wrongly]
For it is the Lord that will judge them [?]


So, in a nutshell...
Give your shortcomings and misunderstandings up to the Lord
Accept His, having jurisdiction and ultimate 'say' in all things
and.... make sure you have your own life in good-order
and in obedience with God's Laws, as given to Moses

When anyone cries out for help [?]
they try to describe their needs to obtain this help
but unfortunately 'pride' & even 'shame' can prevent
their being fully open as to what their needs are

Consequently, the kind of help /advice they need
is then furnished somewhat inadequately / inappropriately
True Friends... are those, that remain close-by
when, even your darkest secrets have been revealed [?]

For, it isn't for your friend to judge you
He/ she, is only tasked to show you the error of your ways by example [?]
but, your friend, will reach down for you, when, you fall

I do not seek to convert anyone's beliefs.. away from our Father
for soon, there will be no misunderstandings :)

post deleted, as the poster above & below -
insists on living out... his own negative hallucinations,
bearing no resemblance to the person he's addressing.
For example:
"So, in a nutshell...
Give your shortcomings and misunderstandings up to the Lord
When anyone cries out for help [?]
they try to describe their needs to obtain this help
but unfortunately 'pride' & even 'shame' can prevent
their being fully open as to what their needs are
For, it isn't for your friend to judge you
He/ she, is only tasked to show you the error of your ways by example [?]"

Again, this bears no resemblance to the person he's addressing.

People are advised, to never share any challenges, particularly in CF;
because 'negatively-hallucinating' folks will stay turned south, & totally off the cliff. (sigh)


This sort of post has been seen before Annie
it says; "I WANT IT DONE MY WAY !!! but! he won't listen to me"

Past members have left these boards 'frustrated' by their inability
to correspond with you in your 'way' and because
of similar reactive-replies to their well-meaning correspondence
given to you in 'loving-fellowship'


Unfortunately... I must myself, 'address' issues... from where I am...

Also, I must WORK, with what I have/ with, what I am given [?]
and this means,
that if, the information provided
is-lacking in material content...
the tools I have will prove to be inadequate
for the 'unmentioned' hurdle

However, I have faith, that I will be graced with sufficient insight
and be able to include advice that will also 'cover' the unmentioned 'cry'

Since my coming here to Manchester
I have found myself 'out and about'
so much more than I ever could whilst I lived in Bristol [alone]

I do not envy your physical ability to ice-skate
I do not envy your employment and also not your income [salary]
We, each of us is blessed with talent
and by His grace... we will be 'placed'
to be available to those whom have need
to become the LIGHT in someone's darkness [?]

The Lord has formed ME and made me comfortable :prayer::bow:

You urge me to 'ask questions' before seeking to apply 'my bandages'
I believe, that I do, so... and... according to the needs expressed
When, for whatever reason... I should then see
continued disappointment/ ongoing suffering
then I offer that person into His care, via prayer, even, yourself

We are not living in 'sk8Joyful's world'
and these; frumpy-retorts and malignings do not affect me
in the manner that they have emotionally-destabilised others in past years
Where, love... of fellow man, seems, to go out of the window
with the arrival of, your displayed-dissatisfaction/ impatience

Your call, for me to CHANGE my given ways
has, been understood...
however, I have not the slightest inclination to be any less attentive
nor, to contain, or, refrain from posting 'anything'
that I might feel LED to do so... because I WANT TO
be used by Him, in anyway that I am enabled
and, out of, GRATITUDE
for the many mercies and blessings that I have received

You have accused me of making-fun of/ mocking, you in public
and this, is/ was so untruthful
for, never once have I mocked you or, your posts

Annie, if, any SELF-CONTROL [selbst-beherrschungen] is needed
then maybe you should look 'closer-to-home' for that behaviour

Thank you all for your prayers for Barbara. Much appreciated.
You are welcome. Continuing to pray for your friend. Please let us know how she's doing.

I would also like to ask prayer about this swine flu thing which I'm sure you've likely heard about by now.:groupray: We are probably more aware of it here in Texas because of our proximity to Mexico. (They think we have 3 cases now in the Dallas area.)

We have already, protection sufficient :prayer:
let us pray for those whom have lost loved ones
and for those who will lose their nearest and dearest

Let us also pray... that this is not
a cultured infection that has 'jumped out of the box'
before a vaccine is ready

:pray:

Praying for Larry and Barbara. The flu has been confirmed in 3 cases in my province so I will pray for protection for all health and airline workers as well as travellers. I think the cases here are quite mild. Jan

So far I understand the ones in the US have been relatively mild as well. One school was closed here in a nearby suburb due to a confirmed case today.
Praying for all requests..Praying for the Swine flu epedemic....:pray:
Thanks, sis.

What was actually written in my post
was nothing like that which you posted above Annie

However, I have faith, that I will be graced with sufficient insight
and be able to include advice that will also 'cover' the unmentioned 'cry'

Your edited VERSION and
your own deleted posts, is quite obviously a blatant attempt
to besmear me as someone
who is attacking you, 'unjustifiably'

You are, also prepared to LIE before other members
in an attempt, to assert your own opinion here

I have again removed you from my 'friends' list
this decision, is permanent

Examining my records....

I find that these 'tactics' you are using.... 'vis a vis'
amending/ corrupting and publishing from the past posts of other members
to discredit and embarrass them
has occurred on at least three other occasions to past-members [sisters] of GE 50+

This despicable and unchristian-like behaviour of your's is not conducive to good fellowship

You asked me recently, if, I wanted you to leave GE 50+
at that time, I felt that you didnt really wish to leave
I have now reconsidered
and will now write and complain to admin, re: your recent behaviour here
It is my hope that you will be barred from GE 50+
including the use, of any 'sock-account'
as it is, only a matter of time, before you drive yet another member to leave here

Do you not fear, that the Lord sees you, as you really are ?
[rhetorical question]
