• 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?

"INFJ's are both thinkers & feelers, so around thinkers they are too sensitive, & around feelers they are too analytical."

"Pros to dating INFJ: incredibly supportive, intrinsically driven to make you happier every day you're w/ them, shakes the foundation of your worldview
Cons to dating INFJ: A lot of unresolved existential dread. Might take 1000 years to think thru an issue then unexpectedly hits you w/ a master's thesis on what's wrong"

How long have you felt this way?

You may not feel happy, but you do have His Joy right?

I have felt this way for years, to be honest... I just usually hide it. As for His joy, I am not sure how to answer that. I see God's beauty every day and it makes me smile. However, when things do not go as planned, I tend to question Him, even though I know I shouldn't. "God is good all the time and all the time God is good."

Hmmmm, this sounds like any one of us...at least, I can relate.

Oh, hey, Miss Vanilla. I was wondering if you'd be back; I was hoping yours was not going to be the occasion of a brief first-time visit to our community and then be gone forever. :)

Pay no mind to the sociopath, you two. Some believers unfortunately like to talk tough in the name of God and very mistakenly think that violent revenge is basically the answer to any degree of wrong-doing ... even that as minor as a bunch of bratty kids calling a man of respect "Bald-head". =/

Thank you GOD! :):):):)

Something good in particular happen to you lately, I take it? ^-^


Also, since I called you Miss Vanilla, that brings two things to mind:

1) Are you cool with me addressing you formally like that sometimes?

2) I suddenly remember a lady in our midst long ago whose avatar name was Vanilla Ice Cream (not to be confused with the ice cream that they were obviously alluding to in that awful Selena Gomez song :p), and I addressed her as Miss Vanille ... similar to @VanillaLion , but with an e at the end. Lovely girl, really, and I think she'd actually left us to become a nun. I hope she is doing well in such a new chapter and mode of life as that.

I skimmed the OP. But when I read the hermit’s reply I looked again and was shocked. I thought it was tongue in cheek. He needs prayer.
