• 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

So what's wrong with me?

I am a bit shy and very quiet when I first meet someone new and you wouldn't know me from that - but once you listen the personality and the qualities that I have - then, people would like or inspired by me or respect me with praise (as some people would) - but it depends what your opinion are.

And when that happens - more and more people will come to me.

It is not a fear of embarrassment. It is just that I am extremely introverted, and prefer doing those things in private.


Unfortunately, often times, the extroverts just don't understand us :p

I am sure we can break the "not understanding" bit - because understanding takes a lot of time and long time. Being able to understand the other person could take you a long time. Outside, they would never understand you - and if you open about yourself and be open to who you are - I think - people will understand why you are "such and such" .

I hate reading the Bible. I hate praying. I hate going to Church and I hate singing for God. I just hate all of it really. I mean I would honestly rather stare at a wall than read the Bible. I try to force myself to read it, but I get so incredibly bored with it that I start drifting off and can't even pay attention and soak in what I'm reading.

I just don't get why I hate it all so much when other Christians seem to really get into it.

1. Talk to your pastor about this. S/He knows you better than we do, and can offer better advice.
2. Invest in a good Audio Bible. I'm not much of a reader, and audio Bibles are a Godsend for me.
