• 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.

Do you follow a specific tradition?

Yes and no. I am confirmed in a christian church, but my "tradition" is to follow the leading of the Spirit and to learn as I'm equipped. I don't require man's permission. So far, it's brought me to understand that my "tradition," if it could be called that, is that of the tabernacle of David, the unified Church in Jerusalem, which has been missing for quite a while.

You should.


I'm also thinking about one on Kingship.

Educating myself about what it means to be a subject, will help me to stay focused, I believe.

Those are layman's terms.

It doesn’t sound very simple.

Would you consider yourself on a similar page as Messianic or Hebraic believers? Or are you pursuing something else?

I love shellfish! I never fry at home. I don’t like the smell.


Nice, I've been eating a lot of mashed potatoes and tuna lately (I'm having some now)!

Food bank I like to hit up hands out instant mashed taters!

I agree. I always loved Paul’s use of bondservant. I understand subjugation and submission well. It never bothered me.

Doulos is off-putting for some. They don’t grasp the beauty of being fettered.

I rarely eat potatoes. It takes forever to go through a bag. The same applies to eggs.

I haven’t had tuna in ages! I like it in olive oil.

What's on my mind? Nothing. Because it's completely blown right now.

Sometimes we go through difficult times and think all is lost. We stop believing in God, and we forget how much he loves us and that everything passes. As it says in George Harrison Music All Things Must Pass. I always watch this video when I feel bad. This song makes me hope again.

What's on my mind today is aging.

I feel so old today.

I had these feelings when I was 32, now I don’t feel old even I am old. But im sure when/if God gives me hit 40 im sure I feel old again but you know, nobody knows how many days we have here. Feeling old doesn’t need to be negative though.

Sometimes I marvel at the things God prevented me from doing. Things I wanted He dismantled for my betterment. Getting in my business for His glory.

I may have found it difficult to let go and walk away. He knew that. And He intervened.

I don’t know if that’s his cup of tea. Most men aren’t into her.
I'm not a Janeite, and I enjoyed reading Jane Austen's novels. Apart from the fact that the satire is amusing, they're also an interesting snapshot of social structures and conventions at the time she was alive. They're also interesting because in some respects very little has changed. People are still marrying for love, and people are still marrying for money.

I can't speak for others. I'm pretty simple. I know what I'll do for the ones I love. My daughter and the girl bring out the best in me. They're my lemonade.
