  • 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

When I was pregnant with my daughter, we told everyone what her name was. Being that I have high-risk pregnancies, we figured that it would be easier for everyone to feel more bonded with her from the beginning.

Now, I am newly pregnant with a little unknown person, and I don't know how I feel. We talk about name choices, but nothing real solid. We may just wait until the baby is born, just so we can look at him or her, and really *know* who they are.

Something that gave me pause, was that I had a relative who was very hurt by another, because she confided her choice of baby name- and the other lady (another relative) used it for her child before my relative's child was ready to be born. I think that behavior like that is just shady. I don't think that any of my close relatives would do that to me, but it is kind of there in the back of my mind.

:( I have heard of situations like this, I just can't understand why someone would do something like that.
