• 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.

Not exactly a vent (or maybe it is), but I wanted to share something.

The unnamed account on Gab - I decided to quit looking earlier this week.

It wasn't adding value to my life. I was getting angry and mostly not doing anything productive about it. At times I wanted to create a Gab account so I could either witness to her about Jesus or tell her off in an ungodly way. I read enough of her posts to conclude that she was not interested in being a true Christian, she just distorted the Bible for some kind of personal gain (or maybe financial gain, not sure if that can be classified as personal gain).

I'm certain she has at least three mental disorders (compulsive liar, narcissism, and anti-social personality disorder). I finally realized something - how do I know that she is telling the truth about every single thing on her personal life? I have caught her contradicting herself multiple times.

And I also hated how she would act like she was a righteous person when she did something evil, then accused true Christians (or those that stood by any kind of truth) of obeying Satan when they did good things.

It was time to eliminate the junk.

Last week, my mom made a comment that made me mad.

I've been having trouble with my job. She accused me of wanting to be lazy and go on welfare. That was not even on my mind at all.

And I find it hypocritical because she has financially helped a particular relative for decades. I'm the bad guy because I want to quit my toxic job but you're always helping someone that you've trained to be dependent on you?

Some of the older generations hide how much help they actually got or gave.

Also,
I'd be lost w/out my parents, but also, I remember when I was job hunting my parents expected me to have work pretty much right away. & that's just not how it works, & it all got me very upset, you don't just apply to a job & get it, or even jobs & get it. It takes time sometimes & they didn't get that at all. Sadly, I think a lot of parents just think it s/b easy for their kids
