• 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.

The laughter thread.

“What’s wrong, Bubba?” asked the pastor.

“I need you to pray for my hearing,” said Bubba.

The pastor put his hands on 
Bubba’s ears and prayed.

When he was done, he asked, “So how’s your hearing?”

“I don’t know,” said Bubba. “It isn’t until next Tuesday.”

A priest and a pastor are standing by the side of a road holding up 
a sign that reads “The end is near! Turn around now before it’s too late!”

A passing driver yells, “You guys are nuts!” and speeds past them.

From around the curve, they hear screeching tyres—then a big splash.

The priest turns to the pastor and says, “Do you think we should just put up a sign that says ‘Bridge Out’ instead?”

St. peter is the bouncer at the Pearly Gates.
-"sorry bro, you can't come in like that, no T-shirts, you need a collared shirt."
' if I'd known that I would've brought one with me'
-"yeah you'll have to go to Purgatory and wait"
' how long's the wait? '
-"shouldn't be more than 1000 years".

moral to the story.make sure you're dressed right for heaven.

A defendant isn’t happy with 
how things are going in court, so he gives the judge a hard time.

Judge: “Where do you work?”

Defendant: “Here and there.”

Judge: “What do you do for 
a living?”

Defendant: “This and that.”

Judge: “Take him away.”

Defendant: “Wait; when will I get out?”

Judge: “Sooner or later.”

I had a dialysis patient tell me this--

He was diabetic,. He'd gotten a ticket due to speeding on the freeway. Shortly after that, he had vision problems and lost his sight. When it came time for his court appearance--he was completely blind and had to go in with help and a cane and it was quite obvious he was blind. The judge nearly fainted and the prosecuting attorney couldn't understand why the police gave him a ticket and let him drive away. It was total chaos until he could explain what happened. uhmm---He said it much funnier than I am relating it!

A therapist has a theory that couples who make love once a day are the happiest.

So he tests it at a seminar by asking those assembled, “How many people here make love once a day?”

Half the people raise their hands, each of them grinning widely.

“Once a week?”

A third of 
the audience members raise their hands, their grins a bit less vibrant.

“Once a month?”

A few hands tepidly go up.

Then he asks, “OK, how about once a year?”

One man in the back jumps up and down, jubilantly waving his hands.

The therapist is shocked—this disproves his theory.

“If you make love only once a year,” he asks, “why are you so happy?”

The man yells, “Today’s the day!”

After trick-or-treating, 
a teen takes a shortcut home 
through the cemetery.

Halfway across, he’s startled by a tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.

Trembling with fear, he spots 
an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at a headstone.

“I thought you were a ghost,” 
says the relieved teen. “What are you 
doing working so late?”

“Oh, those idiots,” grumbles the old man. “They misspelled my name!”

In his famous book, Seven Storey Mountain, Thomas Merton talks about one of the first times he attended a Catholic Church. He was very impressed by how the congregation weren't distracted by each other. That they were totally focussed on the priest, and the altar and the eucharist. he compared it the protestant churches he attended "not like some of those protestants who were more interested in checking each other out than focussing on God"
have to admit I do get distracted at Mass myself, especially at Communion time, looking at the other parishioners. So I'm no better than those wicked Protestants! :)

A couple are sitting in their living room, sipping wine.

Out of 
the blue, the wife says, “I love you.”

“Is that you or the wine talking?” asks the husband.

“It’s me,” says the wife. “Talking 
to the wine.”
