• 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 brings you here to CF (and/or CF singles)?

Hope this finds you well. :)

It's been a while (2-3 years) since I last committed a post here on CF, since Erwin sold CF to a new owner, and with my personal life changing studies and trying to enjoy life as much as I can embrace, but yet, I find myself here on CF once again.

So what brings you here to CF (and/or CF singles)?

Is it the hope in engaging with folk in 'virtual' fellowship over the Internet through avatar personas, or the desire to switch off reality and the stresses of the world and to banter on endless 'game threads' (like when we switch on our tellies and indulge in soap or drama)... or is there a personal desire to live out in your walk and faith in Jesus as you do in the struggles of everyday life, even if that may include living the single path in life - with a subtle hope in finding 'the One' online?

On a personal note, these days I'm blogging and taking photographs in the hope of sowing seeds, and share in my testimony, prayers and struggles of life. I also do web design, whilst exploring a call to Christian ministry through a second degree, this time in theology and pastoral studies.

Jools ;)

I joined CF nearly three years ago in the hopes of finding Christian support for anxiety/depression. I soon found the Singles forum, and been here ever since. I enjoy the funny chats, the serious discussions, the prayers, the encouragement, the chances to help others, etc. Everything.

I came to CF because I was bored and new-ish (had barely used it) to the internet. Forums were fascinating with strangers from around the world all talking to each other. My sister (who had been an interwebber for a much longer time) was on all kinds of forums and I decided to look for a Christian one. And I was bored and very shy/lonely, so chatting with people (or just observing other conversations, at first) was fun.

Now I stick around for the friends I've made (and continue to make), escapism from life dramas/issues, and to relieve boredom. I do not come here to find "the One." I don't really believe in "the One" and LDRs are something that I'm not particularly interested in right now.

Welcome back!:wave:

I came on CF originally for some Christian advice and I've been here ever since. I love the friendships I've made on here. I love encouraging people on here and the encouragement I receive back. I love the fun we have on here. I just love all of CF!

Welcome back, sadly our paths didn't across on CF me thinks :) but again WELCOME BACK TO CF.

I joined for advice, then I re-joined in 2006 as ChristianDrew (now - penNpaper) to find fellow other Believers in Christ. Find new friends, grow in my spiritual life, and always encouraging others in Christ.

God Bless,
Drew

CF in general - Lots of interesting topics on the other boards. Christian perspective. Keeps me from browsing unhealthy websites.

Singles - Meet some people who aren't lost or secular. I used to know too many and, between my weakness and their influence, I did a number on my walk...

I remember you!!! Anyway, I joined CF when I was looking for people to talk to who shared my faith. At that time I was in a relationship, so I was looking for christian relationship advice, and hung out a lot in courting couples. Then when that relationship ended I moved over to singles. I've been on and off and in different parts of CF ever since, but I enjoy the fellowship here.

Woah, I think I remember you. I posted mainly in the teens forum then moved here when I got kicked out.

I've been on CF so long I think I'm here out of habit than anything else. And I still have friends here. I don't have any hopes, goals or secret desires for being here lol

I'm here because I have NO Christian friends, so it's really nice to look around at the posts here everyday, and hopefully learn something new. It keeps my thoughts centered towards God, if that makes sense? It's a lot better than browing other things on the internet, or wasting time on facebook haha. It's also great how nice the people here can be sometimes :)
And, I'm single, so here I am in the singles section!

I started out here as a Christian. The reason was to find communicative fellowship with fellow believers.

Then it changed over time and I am a non-Christian now. To maintain some friendships I've developed with people through the internet and now the addition to maintaining people with whom I have talked for years on here...to get rid of boredom.
