  • 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.

Just this night, I dreamt I was camping, probably, because I was in a tent. And this large spider kept coming into the tent, even after I blew it away every time (literally: like the wolf in the fairy tale of the three little pigs).
I think I may have a slight touch of arachnophobia, but not the REAL thing... I tense up when I notice spiders (and insects in general), but I don't get panic-stricken, start to sweat, etc..

If memory serves, I was with my boarding school, which I was once again a student of (it's been more than 10 years since I stopped there). The year I spend there, was one of the worst in my life, and I was relieved it was over by the time it was, so I don't know what I'd be doing there again.

There may be unforgiveness and other baggage you're holding onto from your experiences there that may be giving the devil some legal ground to torment and even enter you. The tent seems to represent a form of mental isolation you've developed during your stay, but it won't stop the devil from doing his work.

Pray to forgive those you have ought against and break off any negative soul ties you may have forged with those individuals by reciting a simple command to do so in Jesus' name.

A tent is symbolic of a temporary situation. The boarding school was temporary too.

Spiders represent entrampment, lies, and deceitfulness.

Blowing your breath (breath of life=Spirit) on something is releasing the Holy Spirit over them or the situation.
