• 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've never really interacted, but you seem like a really nice guy and your posts make me laugh.

- You're admittedly quirky and I love that you embrace who you are. I just pray that you will learn to believe that there is someone out there who will embrace you just as you are, too.

- Reputation poker. I need to find that thread. :p

- I'm still praying for your brother/nephew and their situation.

I'll rep these people. :)

~We haven't talked a lot but you took the time awhile back to write me and give me some advice about something I was going through. Thank you for that and for actually listening. It meant a lot.:)

~I don't see you on here much anymore but I still think of you and wondering how you're doing. I just want to say to you to please don't give up on life. God has an amazing plan for your life. I just know it!

If that last one is directed at me, I would just like to say that they are doing well. Thank you for your prayers. My nephew is healthy and very smart (my brother called me last night to wish me happy birthday and was telling me all of the reasons he's proud of my nephew:)). He seems to be all good, with no lasting effects of the head trauma. The nurse at his last doctors appointment just complained that he's very strong when he tried to resist getting blood taken.

It was and thanks for the update! I'm really glad to know that they are doing well and that your nephew is apparently one tough little cookie. :D

~Although you frequently speak ill of yourself, I find you endearing and humorous. I wish that I could successfully convey to you that you are far from being ugly and undesirable. On a number of occasions I have wanted to reach out to you after reading one of your posts (as they have oft pained me due to the heartbreak they betray), yet I do not do so for various reasons that have nothing to do with you.


~Although you seldom post here, you are intelligent, articulate, and theologically sound. I admire your respectful boldness and passion.

~Your avatar reminds me of an installment in the old film, Trilogy of Terror.

I know of one that was for me. lol :)

I'll try this:

You're a sweet and pretty young woman. You are of much more value than you see in yourself and any man worth his weight in gold will someday see that.

You are an inspiration as a follower of Christ while juggling the various responsibilities you have. Your posts are insightful and positive.

I wish I knew more about you. If it's God's will, someday I will...regardless of the distance. The world isn't as big as it used to be.

I know you're still on the CF but I never see you in the Singles area anymore even though you're still single. Not sure if I offended you or what but I'd like to chat again.

(to several) I appreciate your encouragement and prayers during my various crises over the years. Even though I've never met any of you IRL, it still means alot to me that you're willing to take the time to respond to my oddball threads and frustrations.

I guess I could give this a try... I don't know very many people here though. So they might be kind of obvious.

-I am truly sorry for any offense I may have caused. I hope that we could work through our differences and become friends.

-I think you're really sweet and just want to say thank you for talking to me.

-You're a sweetheart and I hope that God brings that special someone to you!
