• 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's on your mind?

You guys have no idea how hard it is to watch The Benchwarmers knowing that I'm now the exact same kind of person the movie pokes fun at.

It came out in 2006, back when I wasn't so self conscious about my disability and actually had optimistic hopes for the future. It's about three socially inept geeks who form a baseball team to prove to a group of bullies that they're not losers.

Doesn't sound as bad as that special Olympics comedy film.

I just saw a quote at YT from, of all people, a proud U.S. veteran, who commented below a video I had come across just now. The ... disdainful subject matter of the video is not important, but, this is what the veteran said:

If only kind words were the first weapon we all reached for.

War, bloodshed, and fighting is an ugly truth in this fallen world, however that this man can acknowledge it, yet still have been willing to suffer in bloodying his own hands so that pacifists like myself do not, and all the while admit that he wishes things were different, he is a soldier I respect, and I told him so.

Maybe one day in a better and coming Kingdom, these words of wisdom I believe him to have said will become a reality for all of us to live by.

My humor is so unappreciated.
A photographer friend was quizzing me: “What determines your flash exposure?”
I didn’t know, so I said “Whether there are any cops around.”
Crickets!

Thank you. Yeah I'm probably just overreacting again. After all, the doctor who diagnosed me told me that it was harmless and needed no treatment as long as the symptoms weren't too frequent. And the article only said that it was a problem if the symptoms were frequent; I have them very rarely most of the time these days. I guess I just worry a little too much about the future.
