  • 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.

Since we're stealing threads from other parts of the forum... :D

I thought it would be a nice idea to have a place where we could throw totally random thoughts. Ya know, those things you wanna say or share, but you really don't feel it's worth making a whole other thread about. Yeah you could put it in your blog, but really, who reads those things? :p

Ok, so there is the Random Thoughts thread for the Liberal area :)

So, my random thought that spurred my creation of the thread, is that yesterday I found out that my Priest at the liberal Anglican church I've been attending, has all three of the things I really need in a pastor.

1) He's post-modern Liberal
2) He's a non-"bible-literalist" (thank the Lord... lol)
3) He's... a trained therapist?! Yes! Yes he is o_O

Not just any kind of therapist, a trauma and EMDR therapist! Who's dealt with over a thousand patients like me (I have agoraphobia and anxiety issues) with great success using EMDR treatment.

He wants to evaluate me to see if EMDR treatment will work for me. And there is no cost for parishioners (woo!).

I'm just totally excited. It's like this church was put here just for me, lol.

Is the Snuggie better or worse than the Slanket?


Funny you should mention, I just saw someone put a picture of herself wearing a snuggie onto her facebook.



In other news... I fear church today because last week someone brought their way-too-young child into the itty-bitty-TINY church, and it was -barely- being good. Anyone who knows me, knows I basically loathe children.. and screaming = my blood boiling = so much for church (Because I can't concentrate with a searing migraine). That would really suck...

Church turned out great today, NO fussy babies. I assume this means the parents know when to take their child to church, and when to stay home (due to fussiness or other issues). I'm really glad about that.

The homily was awesome today. At one point he was discussing something about Sunday School, because their sunday school program started today. And he went off on a rant about what is and is not important to teach children about God, and he said "I don't care if kids know how many giraffes were on Noahs ark...... IT'S JUST A MYTH!"


... never been happier :)

I'm so glad this forum (WWMC) exists and I'm not sure why I haven't posted in this area much before.

Also, part of me wants to quit school. Sure I'll be graduating in May and should have something to show for all of the student debt I've racked up, but I'm so ready to be done! People tell me I should go on the grad school because the economy sucks and my GPA doesn't, but I need a break from school.
