  • 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 sister smokes cannabis and it affects her kids. I've seen the damage it's done to me, my ex-husband, my mom, and many friends I made. I've decided to quit especially since I have Aspergers and I really do suffer from short term memory loss. I've been incorporating Ginko to help with focusing and memory. Caffeine helps too. The way I look at it is that Yeshua (Jesus) told his disciples not to be drunk with wine so why be high? How is any of that sober? I really hate that her sons are going through it. My sister reminds me of my ex-mother-in-law that smoked to cope with life. My sister didn't have the same upbringing as I have and chooses stupid stuff.

Where I live you could be fined $1000 dollars for just a gram of weed. My sister uses more than that.

At this point, it's almost like I want God to allow her to get caught despite the consequences so that she can see God even in the calamity.

Another prayer I have is for my uncle who has abused not only cannabis but harsher drugs as well. He's never been a Christian and has only pretended to be in the faith when it served him well with the members of his family that are Christians. He's probably the most depressed person I know. I hope for God to save him.

And then as for I need prayers to stay strong and not crave cannabis and keep up the habit of using other alternatives for sleep.

Thank you for reading. Hope everyone who does has a blessed day.
