• 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.

What are you afraid to try because you might like it?

My self control right now isn't too great and so I would be worried that I would not be able to stop myself liking all manor of things that I believe to be morally wrong.

Well...I know what God says about things and I know that I fully believe the Bible. But a fear I have is that I might try drugs, for example, and like them and then that would take over.

Never tried drugs, nor do I want to, but it scares me!

You must have more belief than I.

You've never tried a drug, but you fear them? Is there some reason you think you might try drugs?

Many people have similar thoughts. For example, people visit waterfalls and they feel like they are pulled in and might actually jump. But they don't.

I'm not sure what to say. Just personally, do you struggle with other mental issues? other odd fears? (feel free to write in private)
