  • 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.

Myself personally, I have voted for BC. I have been on the pills for years due to hormonal reasons, even before I became married and active in that way. My body was not producing enough estrogen, the pill contains estrogen which my body needed, so those are the physiological reasons.

As far as a quiver full, and children being a blessing, I fully agree. Personally though, I feel I should not have them and have emotional reasons for not having children. As a children of parents who were abusive I have a tendency to have abusive feelings for children. Because of that, I try to avoid prolonged contact with children. I have surrendered this part of my life to the Lord, but I don't want to have them and risk being nasty like my parents were to myself and my siblings...the dysfunctional family setting is all I know.

I still see it from one generation to the next as my siblings have children, they say they will never be abusive, but the words they say to their children are ten times harsh than any spanking imaginable. They have little messed up lives as a result. I just can't do that to another human life, or risk having that happen.

After much prayer and thought, it still does not weight on my heart to have children...I'm 28, that can change, but I do doubt it.
