• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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.

Is anybody scared about the allowance of homosexuality? It is constantly on my mind and i am so scared that people, friends, family and myself will think it's ok and maybe even be one day. i hate it! it scares me a ton and i wish that people wouldn't think its cool. i don't want to live in a world that supports it. any thoughts? please pray, it really is a battle in my mind lately...i'm straight but i'm scared that if i'm around any sin, it will change me.

This is really the convolution of two different topics.

On one hand, there's the fear that being around sin will change you. That's probably better suited for a congregational forum, or the theology forum, or perhaps even here.

On the other hand there's the specific fear -- of homosexuality in our culture. Unfortunately, emotions run too high, and a truly open discussion of homosexuality just doesn't work on Christian Forums.

Since you're not asking about sexuality, I'd rephrase the question to be more about how to live in a culture without being drawn down into it -- a quesiton that addresses many issues and sins. Otherwise, homosexuality, as a rule 4.2 issue, must be kept to the philosophy and morality forum.
