  • 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

yall...I need you to pray for me. I really like reality tv shows.....and it is time for Big Brother 9. I am having troubles deciding if it is ok for me to watch or not. I really like it but I just don't know. And if I am not suppose to, I pray that God will give me the strength to overcome it.
I keep promising myself I won't get involved, but I have a question for you. A question for you to answer in private. What is your hearts desire? Is it Big Brother 9?

The bible promises the desires of our hearts, but it also cautions that our desires are only evil continually and that things we ask for never come as promised because we ask amiss, relying on lustful, selfish desires rather than on righteous, Godly pursuits.

So the question as I see it isn't whether you should or shouldn't, but rather where your heart's desire is.

The most TV I've watched since September is about 30 minutes of Perry Stone's program on DayStar.

If a teenager can do it...so can you! :D :cool:

Amen!!!

I strongly despise TV. All they have on their are sexual perversions, cussing like CRAZY!!!!, murder, slaughter, etc, etc. It's just corrupted.

Except for the Christian stations! :D

Okay, I have heard all the arguements on the evils of tv. But, ya' know once in awhile there are some things that are worth watching! So...do I get killed now or later for enjoying some tv? :D

Has anyone watched Jericho..about the "nuking of America" and the why's? It's a thinker! :thumbsup:

And, then we have Heroes..which touches base with "genetic engineering and all it possible sadness it could bring"...so it's a thinker too! :thumbsup:

Then, how about...God wants us to just have some plain old fun sometimes. :clap: What could be wrong with "laughing"??? Come on people the enemy is not the tv...it is if it becomes your god! But, that is each persons choice, not something we need to bash each other for, ya' think?

Which sometimes the tv may be on...but I am THINKING ON HIM and reading the word, and the tv sound is just background noise...raised in a house like that, so it's just natural for me...and NOT wrong! He forgives me, and all of you too! ;)

And, I am NOT AFRAID TO WATCH ANYTHING...NOT EVEN HORROR MOVIES...As we "do not have a spirit of fear in Christ"...remember? HE is watching out for us all...so LOVE, LIVE AND "LAUGH"...once in a while, amen! :clap: your sis, hannah who doesn't "worship" tv, but does watch at night, sorry to those who do not agree, but this is me, and you are you....and we all just need to get along, amen! :hug:

amen and you want to hear a funny story?

Years ago I visited a friend of mine, he and his friend insisted that I stay up late and watch a couple of horror flicks by myself and see if I got scared. I complied though I don't usually enjoy them. when I went to bed, (on the couch),I turned off tv, and when I woke up to the tv on and no one else up to turn it on.

I was confused but didn't even think to be scared, I guess I figure there are a lot more scary things in life that that.

Anyway, the power had gone off and the tv was set so that when the power came back on, it would restart the tv, so it was nothing to worry about, but my friends were spooked, I don't know if they were more spooked by the tv or by me not getting scared.

why not ask God? Asking people on a forum, you are going to get a million different answers. Ask God!
I now....I just really wanted prayer to do the right thing no matter what it is. I guess a lot of my problem is that when my mother died, and this sounds weird I know, I have been hearing a lot of things in my spirit that she use to approve or disapprove of. Like....what to watch what not to or what to say how to say it...I get confused sometimes. Just being honest.

Yep, I hear ya. I have the same thing..my mom is still alive, but I can still hear her in my head sometimes too! BUT, I am not under her control any more as an adult, so I have to sort out what is good or not for me. I know what you mean.

I think it goes along with the people approval addiction that I am trying to overcome. And I will with Christs help!!!!

What is really scary...are all the demons running around...trying to take us down.

But then again...our Lord is watching our fronts and our rear flanks too....so I stopped being scared when I found out that fact! :clap:

Didn't Roosevelt say...We have nothing to fear but fear itself? Through the years of demonic attacks and being in the new age movement...I was soooo glad to know...My Jesus...was always there protecting me, amen! :)

I know we are way off topic...sorry!

Probably but sometimes...maybe we are just here to talk for a moment too! God knows us...and where we are headed..and now...tadah...back to the subject at hand..which "What was it now?"!!! :D

Oh yeh, giving a prophetic word if we have one.

I read today on a couple of sites that there have been numerous earthquakes in the middle east region...that is of prophetic in nature to the word. Does that count? ;)
