  • 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

I wouldn't know, I think there's four paid holidays each year, but taking all four is severely frowned upon. Christmas and New Year's are ok to take off, but you're supposed to work 4-6 hours on all other holidays just to demonstrate that you're not really slacking.

There's six U.S. national holidays I can think of off hand... Labor Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, New Year's Day, Christmas Day, and Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if Christmas Eve counts, that would make seven.

In Aus the Fri Sat, Sun and Mon are all public holidays (some states are a little different)

Good Friday is probably the biggest day of the year, when even big department stores close.

Must be nice. I remember reading somewhere that the U.S. has the fewest national holidays out of all the western nations or something like that...

Doesn't mean I get paid for six national holidays. I get paid for two and get half days on the other two. It's a real pain having to explain to people why I have to work on Memorial Day and Labor Day every single year.

Oh... yeah, I figured you might be referring to something specific to your place of work. My apologies.

This year is the first time in my life that I ever had problems with doubting my faith :(

I have not always been a good Christian, ups and downs, periods of "back sliding" or whatever you want to call it, but this is the first time I have ever really had doubts about Jesus and God :(

Lord I believe, help my unbelief! (mark 9:24)

What's your definition of a 'good Christian' and why are you backsliding?

Four day weekend?

I have the next two days off, which is amazing for me. The last time I had two days off was like 6 months ago.. I don't think I've ever had four days off.

I woke up this morning with a realization, probably from God. I just posted a few days ago that I felt my life was on the upswing and things were getting better. I think now that I made that declaration, the devil is doing his best to swing hard at me and I need to keep my head up and trust God that He will make all things good. So I'm going to try harder not to let anything discourage me.
