• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey guys! I know it's been awhile.

I moved to another ex-fiance's college away from home and live on the dorms. Tomorrow I am dressing in drag - 7.5" heels and black tights with a longish t-shirt and makeup; looks real scandalous. :p My friend Courtney is dressing up with me, too. And I always feel very proud of myself and very happy and uplifted, and I am more apt to love myself when dressed like that, but I do miss Orthodoxy from time to time. Wish I could have both. :p

Anyways, after 2nd ex-fiance, not doing so well again, just like after the first one. He's everywhere, all my classes, mutual friends, etc. I stay high most of the time to not think about it. I've slipped into a lot of suicidal thoughts again (a usual) and ibuprofen ODing and cutting. Talking to the school counselor about it.

Just updating y'all on my life and asking for prayers, please.

Thanks. :)

I'm sure you realise that many of us still keep you in our prayers.

We are moving into the Great Fast now - why not take a good look at yourself and think about what this all means ?

No, this is a poster we know. He converted to Orthodoxy, then left it, and is in a lot of pain.

You're in our prayers and hearts, Justin! I hope you will stop the self-destructive behavior, and listen to God's call to you for Orthodoxy.

Hey Justin! You are in my prayers. Thanks for checking in with us. Just wanted to say also, that you sound pretty miserable despite the smiley faces dotting your post. Are your choices making you happy, fulfilled, satisfied?

Your life doesn't have to be this way. Remember that there are alternatives.

Lots of love ALWAYS,
Monica
