Tell him how you feel, he'll kiss you.

I was wondering if people prefer buying art dolls on a base or background.?
I was wondering if people prefer buying art dolls on a base or background.A doll on a base/background basically it's on a wooden base with decorations,sort of like her own little environment.
And I doll without a base or background is basically just the doll by itself on a stand or just sitting all by itself.
I always make dolls without a base/background,but I was just curious as to what art doll collectors prefer.
I feel like at times the background with a doll makes it feel sort of touch me not and make them more of a sculpture then a "doll",because dolls in a background are normally made to be in a set fixed position and can't be moves or even picked up out of the background.
I always think of a doll,even a expensive art doll as something that can be picked up and that at least the arms and legs can be moved into different positions.
I was just wondering on what some other folks think about bases/background vs dolls without bases or backgrounds.
I was wondering if people prefer buying art dolls on a base or background.?
without a base/background is my preference because one can always add a background if desired for some special event or showing. One can always change the doll's attire and then add a background, for a showing as desired. One pays for the ready or included background. Why? Limits one's selectionability for just the doll does it not?
The doll is what is important. Put your $$ into that and not pay for an included background until you need such AND then make it yourself to suit.

We're Growing Apart?
I don’t know how to put into words how I’m feeling at the moment. I’m 31 and my boyfriend is 24, we’ve been together 12 months and I’ve recently suffered a miscarriage. I’m devastated as even though the baby wasn’t planned after the initial shock it was very much wanted by both of us. I feel like this is my fault because it was my body that rejected the baby.
Daniel (my boyfriend) and me haven’t spoken about the miscarriage and I feel as if he is blaming me as well, he hasn’t cried and he’s acting like it hasn’t happened. I feel that we are growing apart; he won’t touch me not to even give me a cuddle or a kiss. I’m scared that I am going to lose him on top of losing our baby and I feel that my life as I know it is slipping away. His parents have been against us from the start and I feel that they are using the miscarriage to the advantage, he’s even moved back in with them. I’m really at a loss as to what to do. I love Daniel to bits and I don’t want to lose him.
We're Growing Apart?
I think that you and Daniel need each other very much now. I am sorry that you have experienced such a devestating loss. I think it may be painful for Daniel to see your pain and feel so helpless. He may be experiencing a different stage of grief as well. Grieving is work. It is draining and the loss of a child may be the hardest thing that a woman can go through. The stages Kubler-Ross identified are:
Denial (this isn't happening to me!)
Anger (why is this happening to me?)
Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...)
Depression (I don't care anymore)
Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)
Many people believe that these stages of grief are also experienced by others when they have lost a loved one.
lesser known definition of the stages of grief is described by Dr. Roberta Temes in the book, "Living With An Empty Chair - a guide through grief." Temes describes three particular types of behavior exhibited by those suffering from grief and loss. They are:
Numbness (mechanical functioning and social insulation)
Disorganization (intensely painful feelings of loss)
Reorganization (re-entry into a more 'normal' social life.)
You and your Daniel are going to grieve differently for the same child but you need each other at this time.
Unless you have been a woman who has carried a child and have experienced the loss of the child you cannot I D with the unfairness of it all. Life can be terribly unfair sometimes without any reason.. I think that is where the guilt is coming from in your case. The thing is when we feel guilty about something so painful we often pull away from the people that can be of comfort. You need to honestly tell him that you are hurting so deeply but need him there for you. I am praying for you and Daniel. I am also praying for his parents whose hearts are so hard that they are using your pain to make you feel worst. You two may come out stronger than we you were ever before.
Reply:your only hope is to talk to him and get him to understand how much you love him...it is not your fault that you lost the baby...don't even go there....good luck
Reply:im really sorry but don't blame yourself for your miscarrage. just give daniel time but don't stop trying to get through to him and talk to him
Reply:I'm so sorry for your miscarriage. It was nobody's fault; please don't blame yourself. Everyone copes differently with loss; in his case, maybe moving back with his parents is his way of trying to make a situation right that had started to feel wrong after the miscarriage. He may not want to cry in front of anyone so don't take his lack of tears as a sign of anything - he may feel like you are scrutinizing him for signs of feelings and he's trying to hold those feelings in. You say his parents have been against you - perhaps because you two were living together and they felt the pregnancy might not have been accidental when it did happen. Take the time to grieve. He may be afraid that now you need to get pregnant because the maternal feelings were so strong and it would still be outside of marriage - a mistake to try that deliberately.
It happened to you but it happened to him too, while his parents were watching, worrying and disapproving while hoping at the same time. The age difference probably doesn't bother them as much as knowing how much more emotionally mature you are than their son. They may have worried that he could not be as responsible in the relationship as someone your own age - and teh fact that you two had not married probably demonstrated that.
Unfortunately, it's up to Daniel, not his parents, and not you, to move forward towards commitment. You don't seem to have a problem with it, he does.
Reply:Ask him what's wrong and if he refuses, just say please tell me and tell him about how worried you've been about your relationship.
Reply:the only way you are going to resolve this is to talk it over away from his family.Take him to the DR if you have to so the dr can explain that miscarriages happen for no apparent reason and it may help him understand.Tell him how you feel and that you love him dearly.Maybe go away just the two of you and have some fun to take your mind off the situation after you get him back with you.Goodluck and i wish you all the bestxxxxxxxxxx
Reply:Sweets, what you are feeling Daniel has picked up on, and may be trying to give you the space to deal or he has exactly the same emotion. Don't blame yourself for this. U need to talk to him, cause right now ur guessing about how he feels and it ain't a good thing to be way off. U need to hear his words and understand before forming an opinion about his behaviour, cause u may just be wrong, and he's just waiting for you.
Reply:honey all u need do is to call him n ask him wat d prob i he might b alittle confusednw, bt 2 b sincere if he really luvs u dis is d moment wen he shd b by ur side and help u over come tinking. if he does give a gud reason 4 his sudden change baby gril jst et him go, he might nt b d rite guy 4 u.
Reply:I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage ... it's not easy. He may just be overwhelmed and need time to think things through. If you can do some extra special things for yourself and be gentle with yourself as this is an emotional time right now. Keep it simple and try to take it One Day at a Time. If he can't handle something like this then perhaps he's just too immature and you deserve much better!
Reply:what you are presently experience is known as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) it is normal for you to feel guilty about the loss of your child and want to blame yourself. what you need to do now is to remind yourself that you did all you could possibly to sustain the child. whatever happened after that was out of your hands. you did not say how old was the pregnancy. research shows that many regnancy ends up in spontaneous abortion, meaning it happens naturally. sometimes these things happen for a valid reason, only we cannot see it wlie we are greiving. you boyfriend might be feeling guilty too, maybe he does not know what to say to comfort youand so he says nothing at all. it is very difficult for two persons who are grieving to comfort each other since they are both at an emotional turmoil. also males generally express their greifs differently than female, therefore because he doesnt speak about it does not means he is not greiving.
maybe he doesnt touch you or have sexwith you as he might be in denial and thinks the baby is still alive and does not want to hurt you and the baby. my suggestion is that you try talking about general topics such as work politics weather, etc until you are both comfortable to talk about your loss. many couples who have miscarriage get pregnant shortly after, while it may not replace the baby it will fill the gap. that option may also be explored. you may want to visit your gynoclogist to see what might have gone wrong. also this could be a test for your relationship .

I am thirteen and weight 160 pounds.I wear a 32 DD in bra size. I hate it. Can weight all go to your breast.?
Its weird. I am 13 and weigh 160 pounds. I think its all going to my breasts. Is that possible? I wear 32 double d's and I'm only a size 5 in pants. I exerside every day to lose weight. I eat only three meals a day and very healthy. I swim, can run three miles , and I can bike 5 miles , I have no belly fat. I don't know whats wrong with me. I can't lose the stupid weight in my breast. I am scared to death of sergery though. I don't have back problems either. I try to hide it but i cant. I need answers. I also get harassed by boys a lot at my school. I really hate it. They touch me not nicley and they grab me. I have gotten boys so many detention. I am only talked to at my breasts. Its so anoying, Even girls. They make fun of me all the time.! I look lop sided. I mean I am not that ugly. I'm actually pretty and have a personallity. I just feel like I am difined by my breasts. I need an answer to the can weight all go to my brests too.

It sounds like you're just naturally large-chested. I know that it sounds harsh, but it's the way you are. Not all girls are built so that they are proportional; I'm a 32DD myself and know how difficult life can be when you're naturally large-chested, but be glad that you don't have back problems. (I started seeing a chiropractor this year because of mine.)
If you're really that worried, try doing some chest exercises, which may burn some of the fat in that area. If you can afford it, try going to a health club and finding a trainer who can help you find and use some good ones.
If that doesn't work, you really may want to consider surgery when you're older because at 13, your breasts are not done growing and won't be until you're in your early to mid 20's. You wouldn't have to have surgery right away, and at your age, you would have trouble finding a doctor who would be jumping at the chance to do it anyway. When you're ready, the doctor can explain the risks and the benefits of the surgery. I have a few friends who have had it done and they couldn't be happier since they did.
Good luck!
Reply:the size of your breasts is genetic -- not related to exercise. When you are a little older, you will be proud of your figure, but for now you just need to be careful about the clothing you pick. Don't pick really baggy clothes -- that's ugly, but stay away from really tight tops. Whatever you wear, wear the proper bra! Nothing looks worse than a poor fitting bra. I am large busted, too, and I hated it when I was your age.
Reply:Seriously, kiddo, I feel the same way. I'm about 140 lbs and a 36D and I always gain weight first in my breasts. Actually, I watch what I eat not because I don't want to get fat or be unhealhy, but because I don't want my boobs to get any bigger. On the up side, since your only 13 there's a good chance that you'll "grow into" your breasts and they'll feel less like bit blobs of fat that cruel fate decided to attach to your body. Also, with the teasing, remember that most girls your age have small or negligible breasts and boy's pick on you because they're immature and curious, and girls because they're jealous. Chin up, it will get better

Miscarriage Problem?

I’m devastated as even though the baby wasn’t planned after the initial shock it was very much wanted by both of us. I feel like this is my fault because it was my body that rejected the baby.

I feel that we are growing apart; he won’t touch me not to even give me a cuddle or a kiss. I’m scared that I am going to lose him on top of losing our baby and I feel that my life as I know it is slipping away. His parents have been against us from the start and I feel that they are using the miscarriage to the advantage, he’s even moved back in with them. I’m really at a loss as to what to do. I love Daniel to bits and I don’t want to lose him.
Miscarriage Problem?
You are both grieving and are finding it hard to talk to each other. Has he come out and blamed you? he might feel that he has no right to grieve because when a woman has a miscarriage then everybody feels sorry for her but not a lot of people feel sorry for the guy or ask him how he is feeling.
It is bad if his parents are taking advantage of this low point - talk to him just the two of you and say how you feel and listen to how he feels.
Its no ones fault that you had a miscarriage - its just natures way of saving a lot of heartache in the long run.
Reply:I am so sorry to hear about this but u really have to talk to him.
He is obviously hurting too abd the reason he probably isnt touching u is because he probably feels that u dont want him too and he doesnt want to upset you.
He has probably moved out to get his head around things, men keep quiet and generally dont express their feelings but u really have to talk to him.
Forget about his family coz thay aint important to u. and if u start getting angry with them then he will see that as being nasty and may stay there.
Be the grown up one and ignore them, concerntrate on him and u and talk, cry and clear the air together.
He is probably feeling the same as u.
Good luck.
Reply:fist of all I am sorry for your loss, but men don't always know what to say or feel after a miscarriage, You should go to a support group and maybe they can help you through this, he is young and if he is still influenced by his parents then maybe you two need a break, it is not your fault you had a miscarriage, something went wrong with the pregnancy and that is how nature takes care of it. you should never blame yourself for your body.
Reply:i'm so sorry to hear your loss
don't worry your feelings are natural I suffered 3 miscarriages before i had my son, I blamed myself but in time you realise it's not your fault, it is very common for you to miscarry your first pregnancy. Me and my partner grew apart but times a great healer, I couldn't bring myself to talk about it to my partner as he just didn't know what the right thing to say was. it's harder for you as it's your body and mind that has gone through this terrible ordeal. try explaing to him how you feel, just ask him to listen if he says he doesnt want to talk about it.
my thoughts are with you hun
hope you can both pull through it
xxxxx
Reply:I am so sorry for you loss. I have had two miscarriages and know how devastating losing a child can be. You guys HAVE to talk though. Communicating and being intimate with my husband was the only way that we both survived our miscarriages. You can contact the miscarriage association if you need someone to talk to, maybe encourage your partner to do the same.
Reply:firstly I'm very sorry for your loss huni , but you need to know that this has not been your fault! none of it!
secondly i think that your boyfriend may be having difficulty dealing with the issue and this is his way of dealing with the situation - you both probably need to sit down together and tell each other exactly how you feel , tell him u feel like he is blaming you - because more than likely he is not!
i also think it would be a good idea for you to speak to your doctor to maybe get referred to a councilor or maybe even contact a miscarriage support group in your area, if you don't want to do any of these them i strongly suggest speaking to a close friend or relative to help you through this difficult time.
good luck huni and take care
Reply:if he left you-went back to his parents-maybe he just needs time to grieve or heal. Think about it-12 months out of your life may have been a learning experience. He may not be the "one".
Reply:I think you need to deal with your recent miscarriage first as it is obvioulsy tearing you apart. Have you spoken to your doctor as to what the possible causes were of the miscarriage. I feel that once you know you can stop blaming yourself and move on with your life.
Perhaps Daniel is greiving also and needs time to come to terms with it. I am sure he deep down he does not blame you, however he may be doing so unintentionally. You must leave him to come to terms with it. On the other hand (and this might cause you some pain when I say that) he may have been looking for an excuse to leave you only time will tell.
Some men I'm afraid do not have the ability to give cuddles and kisses when they are needed the most. You need support and love just now and that is not what you are getting.
So please take my advice and look after yourself and your health otherwise you may become ill emotionally. And remember time is a great healer.
All the very best and I'm sure that things will work out for the best and if Daniel ever comes back on the scene tell his parents to bog off.
Reply:You shouldn't blame yourself. It is common, unfortunately, for couples to grow apart and even separate after the loss of a child. You are both very different people, so you will each respond in a very different way. Another thing, miscarriages are a result of many factors... and unless you were trying to lose the child intentionally (which I know you didn't) IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. There are many factors that could have contributed to a higher risk of you getting a miscarriage. You lost a child and that is a big deal. AND you should both talk about how you feel and what you think about for the future. Maybe Daniel is shook up and isolating himself from the relationship because he is afraid to lose another child if he stays with you. You need to discuss this and talk to a physician of care specialist about common factors that can increase your risks of future miscarriages as well as some that may not be wel know. Assure him that you are there for him but that you are so in love with him and forsee a great future fo the both of you despite the unfortunate loss. No one likes to bring up these serious and hurtful subjects, but you have to be sure you covered everything before you both decide wether or not your relationship can survive this and any future events, for the good or the bad. You don't have to bring anyparents or outsiders into it... because ultimately love conquers all and you and him are the ones that will be sharing your lives together. His parents should be lucky to have someone that is very much in love with their son. Best wishes!!!
Reply:I'm really sorry for your loss. Daniel obviously needs some space and he's probably finding it hard to talk about the miscarriage. You both obviously need to talk about things. I hope you can both work things out and be very happy. xx
Reply:Please talk to your boyfriend. A good relationship needs good communication. Tell Daniel how you feel and how upset you are. I have had a miscarriage before and my then boyfriend reacted the same way.
Men do not always know how to show emotion and think that showing it makes them look weak. I suspect he is giving you a wide berth because he is scared of upsetting you. He does not know how to start the conversation because he does not know what to talk about at the moment. Its a bit awkward for both of you.
But someone has to make the first move. I sorted it out with my then boyfriend and he is now my husband and we have been together 8 yrs this year!! Have since then had 2 children. You can sort this out. Couples can survive miscarriage. It all depends on how you deal with it and not talking to each other about it does not help.
Maybe try and write a note explaining how you feel and that you still love him if you find it hard to start the conversation off. And don't worry about his parents. My husbands parents did not like me either. They are ok now. Please just stick with it if you love him. Relationships require hard work.
Hope it works out for you babe.
Reply:Sorry about your situation I've been there a good few times all i can tell you is that everyone grieves in different ways your boy friends reaction to you might be his way of handling the loss he might fell if he shows you some emotion that he will not be in control of himself anymore,
Speaking from personal experience my last m/c i just got up and got on with my life as I'd been through it so many times that i never even cry,right now your emotions and hormones are running wild but they will settle down and so will your b/f just take thing a little at a time and don't pressure your self .Ask your doctor if you could get counselling with the midwives i know that it helped me they will explain things better to you than a doctor will.Look to the future and not the past you will start to feel good about yourself and you'll remember the baby you lost but your life must go on.
Good luck.There are a good few web sites for people who have lost babies i use the one on ivillage.com the other mums are really supportive of each other and they all know what you are feeling .
Reply:You need to get him to talk about his feelings about the miscarriage asap. And you also need to get him some information on what causes miscarriages as usually it is nothing you have or have not done. Therefore neither of you should be blaming yourself!
I had a miscarriage on 30 Jan. My BF didn't talk about it for a while either. It wasn't until we had to rehome our dog that it really hit him and he finally cried.
How long ago was the miscarriage. Maybe it hasn't all sunk in just yet.
You need to get him to talk to you now. Don't let him just walk away.
Reply:hi there it sounds like your in a real situation. All i can say is that me and my partner have suffered 2 miscarrages. The first time round (miscarried at 10 weeks), he didnt understand how much hurt i was feeling. because there was nothing for him to call "baby!" if that makes any sense. But we then had a second miscarrage at 22 weeks. Our baby was looking like a proper baby and we had seen her on scans and heard the heartbeat so it was more real. He was devestated this time round when we lost baby. Maybe it wasnt very real to him. But feels very real to you.
I dont like to say this as i dont know you both. But maybe there are other issues as well as this, or maybe he isnt mature enough to cope with baby or miscarrage. I could be wrong though. Probably just doesnt understand why your so upset. Talk to him asap and get it sorted. it could be easy to sort. Good luck.
Reply:This best thing for both of you is to sit down together with no distractions and talk, tell each other how you both feel regarding your loss, and everything else, be brutally honest, and try not to interupt each other. Maybe his parents are 'trying to put a spanner in the works' but its down to him if he lets them. He may feel he cant open up as he feels he has to be strong for you. But the only person who can tell you this is him. So talk to him as only he can give you the answers you need. If he wont talk, maybe this is his way of trying to distance his self from you, if this is the case, let him go and hold you head up high, hes just not your Mr Right. Dont blame yourself for your miscarrige, its not your fault, grieve for your loss, maybe get councelling, to accept why. Remember things happen for a reason, and mostly with things that are out of our control. Good luck!!
Reply:I am so sorry for your loss. I have had 3 miscarriages (with 2 children in between) and no matter what anyone says about rationalising it as being natures way of dealing with problems, it has always felt like a bereavement to me. I was therefore advised to mourn like you would any other death and not to pretend it didn't matter. Remember your baby as it will always be with you.
Regards your boyfriend, my husband couldn't understand my upset as he couldn't feel like it was a baby until it was born. However I eventually got him to understand my feelings by text messages each time i felt sad, telling him you wish he was there to hold you. Perhaps you could write him a letter. In the end he bought me a present to remember the baby by.
My in-laws never liked me until we were married - just ignore them, they do not matter.

Daniel (my boyfriend) and me haven’t spoken about the miscarriage and I feel as if he is blaming me as well, he hasn’t cried and he’s acting like it hasn’t happened. I feel that we are growing apart; he won’t touch me not to even give me a cuddle or a kiss. I’m scared that I am going to lose him on top of losing our baby and I feel that my life as I know it is slipping away. His parents have been against us from the start and I feel that they are using the miscarriage to the advantage, he’s even moved back in with them. I’m really at a loss as to what to do. I love Daniel to bits and I don’t want to lose him.
Miscarriage Problem?
You are both grieving and are finding it hard to talk to each other. Has he come out and blamed you? he might feel that he has no right to grieve because when a woman has a miscarriage then everybody feels sorry for her but not a lot of people feel sorry for the guy or ask him how he is feeling.
It is bad if his parents are taking advantage of this low point - talk to him just the two of you and say how you feel and listen to how he feels.
Its no ones fault that you had a miscarriage - its just natures way of saving a lot of heartache in the long run.
Reply:I am so sorry to hear about this but u really have to talk to him.
He is obviously hurting too abd the reason he probably isnt touching u is because he probably feels that u dont want him too and he doesnt want to upset you.
He has probably moved out to get his head around things, men keep quiet and generally dont express their feelings but u really have to talk to him.
Forget about his family coz thay aint important to u. and if u start getting angry with them then he will see that as being nasty and may stay there.
Be the grown up one and ignore them, concerntrate on him and u and talk, cry and clear the air together.
He is probably feeling the same as u.
Good luck.
Reply:fist of all I am sorry for your loss, but men don't always know what to say or feel after a miscarriage, You should go to a support group and maybe they can help you through this, he is young and if he is still influenced by his parents then maybe you two need a break, it is not your fault you had a miscarriage, something went wrong with the pregnancy and that is how nature takes care of it. you should never blame yourself for your body.
Reply:i'm so sorry to hear your loss
don't worry your feelings are natural I suffered 3 miscarriages before i had my son, I blamed myself but in time you realise it's not your fault, it is very common for you to miscarry your first pregnancy. Me and my partner grew apart but times a great healer, I couldn't bring myself to talk about it to my partner as he just didn't know what the right thing to say was. it's harder for you as it's your body and mind that has gone through this terrible ordeal. try explaing to him how you feel, just ask him to listen if he says he doesnt want to talk about it.
my thoughts are with you hun
hope you can both pull through it

Reply:I am so sorry for you loss. I have had two miscarriages and know how devastating losing a child can be. You guys HAVE to talk though. Communicating and being intimate with my husband was the only way that we both survived our miscarriages. You can contact the miscarriage association if you need someone to talk to, maybe encourage your partner to do the same.
Reply:firstly I'm very sorry for your loss huni , but you need to know that this has not been your fault! none of it!
secondly i think that your boyfriend may be having difficulty dealing with the issue and this is his way of dealing with the situation - you both probably need to sit down together and tell each other exactly how you feel , tell him u feel like he is blaming you - because more than likely he is not!
i also think it would be a good idea for you to speak to your doctor to maybe get referred to a councilor or maybe even contact a miscarriage support group in your area, if you don't want to do any of these them i strongly suggest speaking to a close friend or relative to help you through this difficult time.
good luck huni and take care
Reply:if he left you-went back to his parents-maybe he just needs time to grieve or heal. Think about it-12 months out of your life may have been a learning experience. He may not be the "one".
Reply:I think you need to deal with your recent miscarriage first as it is obvioulsy tearing you apart. Have you spoken to your doctor as to what the possible causes were of the miscarriage. I feel that once you know you can stop blaming yourself and move on with your life.
Perhaps Daniel is greiving also and needs time to come to terms with it. I am sure he deep down he does not blame you, however he may be doing so unintentionally. You must leave him to come to terms with it. On the other hand (and this might cause you some pain when I say that) he may have been looking for an excuse to leave you only time will tell.
Some men I'm afraid do not have the ability to give cuddles and kisses when they are needed the most. You need support and love just now and that is not what you are getting.
So please take my advice and look after yourself and your health otherwise you may become ill emotionally. And remember time is a great healer.
All the very best and I'm sure that things will work out for the best and if Daniel ever comes back on the scene tell his parents to bog off.
Reply:You shouldn't blame yourself. It is common, unfortunately, for couples to grow apart and even separate after the loss of a child. You are both very different people, so you will each respond in a very different way. Another thing, miscarriages are a result of many factors... and unless you were trying to lose the child intentionally (which I know you didn't) IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. There are many factors that could have contributed to a higher risk of you getting a miscarriage. You lost a child and that is a big deal. AND you should both talk about how you feel and what you think about for the future. Maybe Daniel is shook up and isolating himself from the relationship because he is afraid to lose another child if he stays with you. You need to discuss this and talk to a physician of care specialist about common factors that can increase your risks of future miscarriages as well as some that may not be wel know. Assure him that you are there for him but that you are so in love with him and forsee a great future fo the both of you despite the unfortunate loss. No one likes to bring up these serious and hurtful subjects, but you have to be sure you covered everything before you both decide wether or not your relationship can survive this and any future events, for the good or the bad. You don't have to bring anyparents or outsiders into it... because ultimately love conquers all and you and him are the ones that will be sharing your lives together. His parents should be lucky to have someone that is very much in love with their son. Best wishes!!!
Reply:I'm really sorry for your loss. Daniel obviously needs some space and he's probably finding it hard to talk about the miscarriage. You both obviously need to talk about things. I hope you can both work things out and be very happy. xx
Reply:Please talk to your boyfriend. A good relationship needs good communication. Tell Daniel how you feel and how upset you are. I have had a miscarriage before and my then boyfriend reacted the same way.

"Whoso List To Hunt"
by
Sir Thomas Wyatt
Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,
But as for me, hélas, I may no more.
The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,
I am of them that farthest cometh behind.
Yet may I by no means my wearied mind
Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore
Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,
Sithens in a net I seek to hold the wind.
Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,
As well as I may spend his time in vain.
And graven with diamonds in letters plain
There is written, her fair neck round about:
Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,
And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.
------------------------------
Whoso list: whoever wishes
hind: female deer
hélas: alas
vain travail: futile labor
deer: playing on the word "dear"
Sithens: since
Noli me tangere: "touch me not"
The theme of "Whoso List to Hunt" is:
a - beauty.
b - unrequited love.
c - marriage.
d - None of the above.
Thank you so MUCH!
Smart..People!!!?
my first intuition is B...
but I couldn't really say...
it might have something to do with marriage- but only in the sense of B :)
Reply:None of the above. Wyatt's mistress dumped Wyatt to become the mistress of the King of England. She loved Wyatt more, but she thought it would be really cool to be the King's mistress. Wyatt was just young, rich, good-looking, intelligent, and in love with her. The King wa the King. Of course, the King later killed her. But that isn't the point. She got to be his mistress and that was very cool while it lasted. Wyatt loved her forever, no matter what.
Reply:B. Unrequited love QEI
Reply:B is closest. I would say that this poem is one man warning another from chasing a particular woman.
Reply:The answer is B...it's about a guy who loves a girl who doesn't love him back, or who doesn't want to be "held down."

My gay pal kissed me last yr.He keeps putttin me down in public since then but i catch him lookin.Why d game?
In public he makes fun of me, n my freinds keep tellin me hes doin this only cos he is in denial cos u makin him question his sexuality. He is warm n affectionate to all the other women but to me he is like....touch me not..ever since then. He even talks of wanting to have kids someday if he has a woman who will accept his homosexuality. I think I really like him and I would love to be in a whacko situation like that. i know i sound strange but that is me. On teh whole he is really caring n sweet but with me he is mixed n confused n after few drinks told me that. Sometimes he loses his temper at me, keeps tellin me how gay he is ...how silly is that to repeat it huh? How do i get him to open up? Pls give me serious answers / no jokes.....Even on other dates.......this guy is on my mind
My gay pal kissed me last yr.He keeps putttin me down in public since then but i catch him lookin.Why d game?
Dont worry about it move on, he likes you but wants to stay true to his sexuality. He is probably very confused. If you like this him than ask him out if you dont get you another man or person.
Reply:It have so many straight guys out there for you to fall for a gay one you are just as mix up as he is.
Reply:you are what they call a F-G HAG.
Reply:Don't...pick someone that loves you and that is not so high drama. You will have nothing but problems in this relationship. It may seem fun now, but down the line it will drive you crazy.
Reply:I think that you should just move on and look for someone that likes you for you. Personally, I wouldn't be able to breed his kids while he were out with other men. I would say to just look for other guys that respect you and who knows? You will be head over heels again without games. When you doubt, follow your instinct. You are worth more than that.

Is it possible to suppress memories from your past?
I had a rough life living with my dad and I finally got out of my personal hell when I was 12 and went to live with my mom. As I got older my dad attempted a relationship with me. For almost 4-5 years after I moved out I had nothing to do with him. I was physically and emotionally abused by him my whole life so I was not happy to be around him at all. I wonder if I had a more tramatic expierence that I cannot remember because like a year later we would go out for breakfast or whatever (which always ended up in disaster) and he would touch me (not perverted like) like hugging me or kissing me and I would feel like throwing up and I was completely disgusted by him being to close to me. I feel like this is more then just the bad relationship between us. Could I have been violated sexually by him and have suppressed the memory? I can't figure out why I feel that level of disgust. At this point he is cut permanantly out of my life. It is not worth it to me to have a negative relationship.
Is it possible to suppress memories from your past?
Yes it is. I do it all the time especially when it was a very painful experience. I think that's probably a way for us to get out of the pain.
I think you feel the feeling of disgust because, well he's your father and he treated you like a nobody, like you're trash, like he's not your flesh and blood and this is not what any child should go through at the hands of the fathers because we expect them to be our protectors and in this case he let you down. I understand why you cut yourself off him and honestly it's the best move and choice you can ever make.
I doubt you have even learnt anything constructive from him or because of him you have become a better person. Honey to avoid any disappointments and hurt cause by your father I'd say continue keeping the distance between the two of you.
Good luck and I hope life gets better as the years go by.
Reply:It's definitely possible to suppress memories from your past. The problem is, the smallest thing can bring it all back.
Reply:Its is quite possible to suppress a memory u just don't want to remember ( u force yourself to forget ) until something triggers it, u will then act irrationally without really understanding y. If u want to find out what it was, go to a psychiatrist, some has methods of hypnosis to take u back to ur childhood. (good luck)
Reply:I can't remember
Reply:Yes. It is possible. I'm not a shrink, so I can't give an informed response from that perspective, but I can from personal experience.
I believe we suppress certain memories as a form of self protection until we reach a point in our lives where we are better able to deal with them.
Again, only from personal experience, my advice to you is that you should take these feelings to a shrink. He/she can best decide if you are truly ready to bring forth the memories. Hypnosis therapy can work wonders at bringing things from the past to the present ... but it needs to be done under the guidance of someone who can then help you deal with the pain.
It's a tough road, but in the end, well worth it. Once you've gone through all of the different emotions that are a part of the process, you'll feel both a sense of relief and an inner calm. You'll also come out of it a stronger person.
Best wishes to you on your journey.
Reply:Suppressed memories are total horseshit. You will probably have people on here tell you it's possible, and that you may have been sexually assaulted. You will believe it, and you'll start making up memories and you'll think they are real. Vietnam veterans might not remember all the details, but they remember going to the war. Supressed memories aren't real, but the possibility of FALSE memories is the real problem.
Hypnosis is total crap and that's where the fake memories come from. Your supposedly in a very succeptable state of suggestion. If you have it in your mind that your repressing memories, through suggestion you'll make them up. Your going to get bad advice on this one..
Reply:doubt it, i've never been successful in doing so
you can try as hard as you like to forget it but memories never slip away completely. it's keeping them from resurfacing often that's important.
stay away from w/e reminds you of this bad memories and keep your mind occupied, then hopefully you will remember a little less although you won't forget completely

OK...HERE IS THE TRUTH! The word "GOD" in the original Hebrew is plural--One GOD--But more than one Member! You have "Family"--with more than one member in it! GOD IS A FAMILY NAME! You have the Father,Who is Supreme Lawgiver,and you have His Son,The Executive Ruler-King over all that exists! Here is where things go wrong...You will NOT find the word "Trinity" anywhere in your Bible! And the phrase,"These three are one" mentioned in the New Testament was ADDED--It is NOT in the original GREEK! GOD is forming a Family--and He wants YOU and I to be a Royal son or daughter in that Family! READ REVELATION--First 3 Chapters! Don't believe ME! How clever the devil is to BLIND the TRUTH from so many! Perhaps NOW you will see that YOU were born to become a beautiful Royal Daughter of your Creator! Maybe now you can face the future a little better and with a little more HOPE!

Reply:Quoting John 1:1-9: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." The Word is Jesus. Therefore, Jesus is with God and is God. The passage goes on to explain how Jesus created all things, something we think of God the Father as doing.
The Trinity is a difficult concept but it kind of makes sense - do we really think that a being as powerful as God would be limited as we are? He is God and therefore uniquely complex.
The best way I wrap my mind around it is to think of water - ice is different from steam, which is different from water. They're not even in the same state yet they are all manifestations of the same substance. They are always H2O. Each person in the Trinity has a different function. They are equal parts but the Father is the head - that's what He is and does.
The other complicating factor is that Jesus is the unique God-man. When He was on earth He divested Himself of some of His power (became a human being.) He had to feel and suffer like us, thus allowing the possibility of temptation. He seems to have been in a different state after His Resurrection - He could walk through walls but still ate fish with His disciples.
If we could fully understand it all, we wouldn't be human.
Reply:your question is what verses say Jesus is God i think.......
matt. 28: 18 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.' so He had the authority of God then?
john 14: 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way the truth and the life, NO ONE comes to the Father except THRU Me." are we just merely going through a man, or a Higher being?
verses im having trouble finding are Jesus is sits at the right hand of the Father, no one else has the priveledge of doing this. If you dishonor the Son the dishonor the Father, if you dishonor the Father you dishonor the Son. The Father and the Son are One......we cant get to God except thru Jesus the Son of God
Reply:Your question is simple.
God the father is our creator.
Jesus the son of man is your physical self
The holy spirit is your inner self?
So when you go to school .
Your physical self go to school.
Now if your inner self did not go to school?
You will come up with this question.
Now if your physical and inner self both go to school.
You will be the son of God.
Reply:Simple enough, it's just like you, a mind, a body and a spirit. They are one and the same, yet they are separate. Don't believe me? Just ask someone bound to a wheelchair.
Reply:If people were intellectually honest they would admit that bible clearly says Jesus is not the father. All this "god is a body %26amp; spirit" business is nonsense and unbiblical. People will ignore what they don't like and come up with all sorts of ideas because they are (((supposed))) to believe what they have been taught.
Reply:The verses explain themselves.
Reply:I am body mind and spirit... so is God.
Reply:remember the woman who has healed because she had faith in JESUS!the same is true when you believe IN JESUS CHRIST,it is not difficult to believe GOD the FATHER and GOD the HOLY SPIRIT.if one is missing in the link of TRUTH,i doubt . . . . .
Reply:In Isaiah 9:6-7, it says, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And what is the name of this son? The "Mighty God" in the next verse.
JESUS CHRIST IS: "THE GOD ALMIGHTY"
Reply:John 10:30-33
"[Jesus said, ] I and the Father are one."
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"
"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
Jesus said it, so that's good enough for me...

I believe there's only 1 God(1Tim.2:5) like you and Jesus is the Son of God(John 4:15) like the Bible says.
Most of the majority(Matt.7:13) lead people away from the Truth.
(KJV BIBLE)There are 3 that protestants claim about the trinity; they're JOHN 14 %26amp; 15 and 1JOHN 5:7. To start out 1JOHN 5:7 was never in any of the inspired Greek manuscripts; so this knocks out one. As for John 14 %26amp; 15; the Greek word for "helper" is paracletos; one who helps inwhich points to the Holy spirit. In Greek, the word "He" is neuter such as "hand" is feminine whether it is a woman's hand or male's hand. As for the word "paracletos" it is masculine and always require a masculine pronoun. This however doesn't prove personhood as you've noticed.
But as you've noticed, these texts don't prove Jesus is God or the Holy Spirit.
I don't believe in the TRINITY! The Bible texts that I'm going to mention contradict the Trinity teaching.
MATT.12:32 "AND WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH A WORD AGAINST THE SON OF MAN, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM: BUT WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST, IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM, NEITHER IN THIS WORLD, NEITHER IN THE WORLD TO COME."
JOHN 14:28 "IF YE LOVED ME, YE WOULD REJOICE, BECAUSE I SAID , I GO UNTO THE FATHER: FOR MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I."
1COR.11:3 "BUT I WOULD HAVE YOU KNOW THAT THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN IS CHRIST; %26amp; THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN IS THE MAN; AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD."
LUKE 18:19 "AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, WHY CALLEST THOU ME GOOD? NONE IS GOOD, SAVE ONE, THAT IS, GOD."
****SEVERAL OTHER TEXTS SAY THERE'S ONLY TWO PERSONS:
1COR.1:3; 8:6; 1TIM.1:2; 2:5; GAL.1:3; PHILIPP.1:2; ROM.1:7; 2COR.1:2-3; 1THESS.1:1; 2THESS.1:2; 2TIM.1:2; PHILEMON 1:3; 1PETER 1:3; 2PETER 1:2; 1JOHN 1:3; 2JOHN 1:3.
Now touching on the HOLY SPIRIT; the Holy Spirit is a power(Luke 1:35= "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the "Son of God.") where God and Jesus make their presence known in the hearts and minds of believers(1John 3:24 = "And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us."). The believers of god and Jesus will have this love poured on them (Rom.5:5 = "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.") It will teach them understanding and wisdom of God's Word (John 14:16,17,20,23,26 = "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. At that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in me, and I in you. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.") Jesus had the Holy Spirit in him when he made the lame walk and the deaf to hear and etc.(Luke 5:15-17) God works in our minds to give us stength to overcome (Genesis 6:3 = "And the Lord said, my Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.") Other texts are: John 7:38-39; Rom.8:11,13-14,16 and Psalm 104:30.
Also why I don't believe in the TRINITY is because it says in the KJV that the false church will cast all the truth to the ground (Daniel 8:12). I happen to know this false church because all the world has followed it (Rev.12:9; 13:3,12) except for one church (Acts 20:28).

Reply:I'm not quite sure what your question is; If you get a chance to look at a Jerusalem Bible, or an old (1611) king james, then you can see there are diferent words in the hebrew that modern bibles translate as God, as Lord.
One of the important names of God is LORD of Lords, KING of Kings. While there are Lords (masters), there is one LORD over them all.
Likewise, the scripture says that: 'ye men are gods, and the scripture cannot be broken'. In the old testament, and I guess in those who have not repented and been baptised, then there is an ascendancy of angels which watch over them, since they are not of Christ, so are under delegated authority.

Mouse has issues and is a touch-me-not only when I want you to kat....but he's daddys boy and demands undivided attention from me especially at nite (he sleeps right next to me under the covers all nite and will attack and hiss a squall if the other two try to get under the covers or try to get next to me (when he's next to me).... In the last 4 to 6 weeks I've noticed he's lost a pound or two . He was really filling out well so I took him to the vet %26amp; he in perfect health..So what could cause this weight loss?????? I'd like someones input on this. Could it be the new addition "Spanky" ???? Mouse eats well but he def.lost weight... I'd appre. any input on this..thanxx Johnathan
To all "CAT" people.........I have 3 cats ...?
HI, there id could me the new addition: maybe Mouse is gettin gmore exercise, chasing or being chased by kitten, or it could be nerves, having their little domain upset by a new comer. If the vet pronounced kitty in good health, I would try to give Mouse special attention: and also, maybe close him in his own bedroom for a few hours a day, so grown up kitty can have some alone time without kitten... if he yowls to come out, then you know he likes kitten, or at least wants to be abreast of goings on, but if he curls up on the bed for a nap, he might appreciate some down time. good luck! Oh and ps. some cats defer to the other more pushy cats at mealtime, and come back to eat later. Maybe try feeding mouse alone, and see if he digs right in. this happens with my cats.
Reply:Your assumption is correct if you are taking them to the vet and all is indeed well medically. The others are stealing his food and fighting with him for it.
You have got to stick around and make sure he is getting enough to eat. Cats can be mean when sharing food.
They sound beautiful... Good luck with your sweet babies!
Reply:that is normal for a new cat to cause change in the others ,it will come back on when they all get settled,they are just moving around more trying to keep up with the new kitty,and don't really eat as much,because they are busy showing the kitty who the boss is
Reply:cats get stress as will so he,s need to have down playing with cat toys.or a shoes lice
Reply:perhapps he is exercising more. You did not specify whether he is an indoor or outdoor cat. outdoor cats tend to weight cycle. I have four indoor cats and one indoor outdoor. the outdoor cat will gain weight and than lose weight all in the same month. If your vet says he is healthy than i wouldn't worry about it.

Reply:Any time something changes in the household cats are the first to let you know. I definitely think it's the new addition to the family. Give Mouse a little more attention than usual. Offer treats to him when the new kittie is in the same room as him. Just let him know that he is still your number one. He'll come around. Just keep an eye on him.
Reply:Stress. New additions to a cat social circle can take a year or more to be accepted. The fact that they are all males doesn't help either. Some cats may never accept the new addition. If that is the case, and your cat continues to lose weight, doesn't eat, or is severely stressed, you may have to consider finding a new home for you newest one. Hopefully, they learn to get along, but you have to think about what is best for all of your cats, not just what you want to happen.
Reply:Try feeding a very high fat content KITTEN food. Kitten food has more fat in it,when a female cat is pregnant they are fed kitten food for this reason. Also with the more fat in it makes it more palatable(tastey)
You can also try as a treat the cat milk you can buy at petstores. Not the milk for kittens,it is made by whiskas(here in canada)

Reply:Buy him a brand of cat food the cat cannot resist. Or, what I use to do that really plumps up my cat was to buy some wet cat food, scoop a little out and mix it with the dry cat food, and cap and refrigerate the rest until the cat's next meal.

Memories' butterfly kisses
turn into love letters

Is Jesus the same as God? Part 1?
In John 10:30 Jesus said, "I and my Father are one." This verse, according to Christians, shows God and Jesus Christ to be same. On the other hand, we read in John 20:17, "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." Here Jesus stated that there was a distinction between him and God. In other words that Jesus himself had a God. Also, Matthew 27:46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Here Jesus Christ cried in loud voice calling for his God.
These are two different and opposite ways Jesus relates himself to God. The first one, he and God are one, and the second, he refers to a higher authority than him which is God. Now assuming that both are correct statements then we have a contradiction. If, for example, Jesus Christ was God himself as in John 10:30 then it would be more appropriate for him to say "...and to myself, and your God." in John 20:17, or "Myself, Myself, why hast thou forsaken me?" in Matthew 27:46. If, on the other hand, one of them is wrong and the other is correct then we have to discard the one we believe to be incorrect! Since God does not make mistakes then we no longer believe the Bible is the word of God (because we believe there is a contradiction of God’s words in the Bible).
A third possibility is that we have to look at how we can interpret the words of Jesus in those verses. As far as John 20:17 and Matthew 27:46 it is very clear Jesus had a God whom he prayed to and Whom had a higher authority than his own. We can back this up with other verses from the Bible that say, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5:30). Also Jesus said, "...for my Father is greater than I" (John 14:28). If Jesus and God were the same then he would not have said what he said in the above verses.
Now, the only verse that can be interpreted is John 10:30. It is the only one that does not render itself clear. The only way John 10:30 could be interpreted such that it does not contradict all the other verses is by saying that Jesus meant he and God had something in common.
To find out what the common grounds were, we have to look at the context in which this verse came:
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
As can be seen from John 10:28 and John 10:29 Jesus was telling the Jews that he and God share something in common, and it was: no one can pluck the faithful from either of their hands. This was the common factor between Jesus and God in this case, and not that Jesus was himself God, or that they were exactly the same.
Let us go on to see what Jesus says in John 10:
John 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
John 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
John 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
John 10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan…
In John 10:31 we see that the Jews misunderstood what Jesus had meant by "I and my Father are one." (John 10:30). And in John 10:33 they accused him of blasphemy. Now, had Jesus been God, or had he and God been one in a literal sense then he wouldn’t have hesitated to clarify the matter at that point. Jesus at that point said, "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" What he was trying to say was that if the Jews called "I and my Father are one" blasphemy then they should call what was written in their law "Ye are gods" blasphemy too.
The reasoning behind this is "Ye are gods" does not mean that you, the Jews, are Gods, it is rather an expression. It just means that you are godly people. The same applies to "I and my Father are one." It does not mean that Jesus is God or that he and God are the same literally. It’s just an expression. (The same goes for calling himself "the Son of God." This statement should not be taken literally either).
The Holy Quran says, "...Nothing whatsoever (is there) like the like of Him, and He (alone) is All-Hearing and All-Seeing" (Ch 42: Vr 11). Nothing at all is like God, not Moses, not Jesus, not Muhammad, and certainly nothing of His creation.
What about all these verses?
After I discuss the above with my Christian brothers they ask me, "but what about the other verses that say Jesus is God?" and they show me some of them. Some of these verses are:
John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." My Christian brothers associate this verse to the words God had said to Moses in the Old Testament when He said to him in Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." What Jesus said is similar to what God said to Moses. Therefore they are the same.
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Here Jesus gives himself a divine quality, being present as God.
Revelation 1:17-18 "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Jesus says that he is the first and the last. This is clearly a divine quality. He also says that he has the keys of hell and of death. This is also a divine quality.
I really don’t know how many more verses like these are available, but let us assume that there are more. I reply to them that what they showed me proves my point even further, and before I explain how, I relate the following verse to them:
Mark 13:32 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." It is shown here that God and only God and not the son (Jesus) has the knowledge of the time of the Judgment day. Jesus here denies his divinity (since God knows everything).
John 5:19 "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." Here Jesus also says that his powers do not belong to him, and he alone, without the help of God, can do nothing. Again Jesus is denying divine qualities.
John 5:30 "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." Here Jesus also denies any divine qualities. He (Jesus), without God can do nothing.
John 20:17 "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." Also, in Matthew 27:46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Here Jesus, in the first verse, says that he has a God, and in the second he cries out for his God. Surely God does not have a god. Jesus clearly shows that he has a God and that he is not divine.
John 5:37 "And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape." Jesus clearly states that no one had even heard God’s voice, and not even seen His shape. This is Jesus talking, his voice heard, and his shape seen by those he is with at the moment, so it cannot be him that he is referring to as the divine character, and that means that they (Jesus and God) are not the same.
John 14:28 "Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I." Here Jesus also says that God is greater than Jesus. Again he is disclaiming divinity.
Matthew 19:17 "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." When a man referred to Jesus by good master, Jesus replied to him by saying that there is only one good that is God. If Jesus cannot even claim that he is good, then why should he claim that he is God?
These are all verses from the Bible. Some show Christ to be God or having some qualities of God and others show that he is not God and that he does not have divine qualities. Which should we believe? Aren’t these contradictions? I say to all my Christian brothers that brought me verses that claim Christ’s divinity, "now you have to explain to me how this is possible. What does all this mean?"
Is Jesus the same as God? Part 1?
God made man in the image of himself
jesus was sent to earth by God with the perfect human DNA makeup, one so perfect it made him and his power far beyond our ability
this DNA information can be found in our lifetime, It is written on oblisk buried 4000 years ago in a huge earthquake next to the dead sea in Jordan.
when jesus gave his blood to his desciples, it wasn't the cup itself had significance but his pure Godly Blood
Man is 5, the Devil is 6, and God is 7. This is an evolutional process that man will one day discover. we just entered our fifth stage, and will take a couple of thousand years of spirituality to get to this sixth stage. the sixth stage is not evil because beelze bub is there, but he is not yet a God and cant reach the 7th stage without us denying his power by evil acts
the 5th stage started in 1988 and will continue to around 4600 man will enter this spiritual level soon after armagedon which is approaching with haste
repent and love one another, as population will drop from 6billion to 1 billion after the four horseman arrive which are now in our horizon
God bless you all

If that sounds crazy, then wait just one minute, there are three parts to you.
You have a body, an intellect (mind), and you have a spirit or soul.
Jesus is God-in-flesh, as some would say.
To be honest, however, it is a moot point. Whether they are one or two, the teachings and instructions are the same, and it does not affect how we are to live our lives.

Reply:Jesus IS God, my friend.
Reply:Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of Mankind. I do not know if he is God, but I do know that he is far Greater than I or anyone else.
Reply:NO Jesus is not the same as God.
These are two different and opposite ways Jesus relates himself to God. The first one, he and God are one, and the second, he refers to a higher authority than him which is God. Now assuming that both are correct statements then we have a contradiction. If, for example, Jesus Christ was God himself as in John 10:30 then it would be more appropriate for him to say "...and to myself, and your God." in John 20:17, or "Myself, Myself, why hast thou forsaken me?" in Matthew 27:46. If, on the other hand, one of them is wrong and the other is correct then we have to discard the one we believe to be incorrect! Since God does not make mistakes then we no longer believe the Bible is the word of God (because we believe there is a contradiction of God’s words in the Bible).
A third possibility is that we have to look at how we can interpret the words of Jesus in those verses. As far as John 20:17 and Matthew 27:46 it is very clear Jesus had a God whom he prayed to and Whom had a higher authority than his own. We can back this up with other verses from the Bible that say, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5:30). Also Jesus said, "...for my Father is greater than I" (John 14:28). If Jesus and God were the same then he would not have said what he said in the above verses.
Now, the only verse that can be interpreted is John 10:30. It is the only one that does not render itself clear. The only way John 10:30 could be interpreted such that it does not contradict all the other verses is by saying that Jesus meant he and God had something in common.
To find out what the common grounds were, we have to look at the context in which this verse came:
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
As can be seen from John 10:28 and John 10:29 Jesus was telling the Jews that he and God share something in common, and it was: no one can pluck the faithful from either of their hands. This was the common factor between Jesus and God in this case, and not that Jesus was himself God, or that they were exactly the same.
Let us go on to see what Jesus says in John 10:
John 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
John 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
John 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
John 10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan…
In John 10:31 we see that the Jews misunderstood what Jesus had meant by "I and my Father are one." (John 10:30). And in John 10:33 they accused him of blasphemy. Now, had Jesus been God, or had he and God been one in a literal sense then he wouldn’t have hesitated to clarify the matter at that point. Jesus at that point said, "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" What he was trying to say was that if the Jews called "I and my Father are one" blasphemy then they should call what was written in their law "Ye are gods" blasphemy too.
The reasoning behind this is "Ye are gods" does not mean that you, the Jews, are Gods, it is rather an expression. It just means that you are godly people. The same applies to "I and my Father are one." It does not mean that Jesus is God or that he and God are the same literally. It’s just an expression. (The same goes for calling himself "the Son of God." This statement should not be taken literally either).
The Holy Quran says, "...Nothing whatsoever (is there) like the like of Him, and He (alone) is All-Hearing and All-Seeing" (Ch 42: Vr 11). Nothing at all is like God, not Moses, not Jesus, not Muhammad, and certainly nothing of His creation.
What about all these verses?
After I discuss the above with my Christian brothers they ask me, "but what about the other verses that say Jesus is God?" and they show me some of them. Some of these verses are:
John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." My Christian brothers associate this verse to the words God had said to Moses in the Old Testament when He said to him in Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." What Jesus said is similar to what God said to Moses. Therefore they are the same.
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Here Jesus gives himself a divine quality, being present as God.
Revelation 1:17-18 "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Jesus says that he is the first and the last. This is clearly a divine quality. He also says that he has the keys of hell and of death. This is also a divine quality.
I really don’t know how many more verses like these are available, but let us assume that there are more. I reply to them that what they showed me proves my point even further, and before I explain how, I relate the following verse to them:
Mark 13:32 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." It is shown here that God and only God and not the son (Jesus) has the knowledge of the time of the Judgment day. Jesus here denies his divinity (since God knows everything).
John 5:19 "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." Here Jesus also says that his powers do not belong to him, and he alone, without the help of God, can do nothing. Again Jesus is denying divine qualities.
John 5:30 "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." Here Jesus also denies any divine qualities. He (Jesus), without God can do nothing.
John 20:17 "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." Also, in Matthew 27:46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Here Jesus, in the first verse, says that he has a God, and in the second he cries out for his God. Surely God does not have a god. Jesus clearly shows that he has a God and that he is not divine.
John 5:37 "And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape." Jesus clearly states that no one had even heard God’s voice, and not even seen His shape. This is Jesus talking, his voice heard, and his shape seen by those he is with at the moment, so it cannot be him that he is referring to as the divine character, and that means that they (Jesus and God) are not the same.
John 14:28 "Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I." Here Jesus also says that God is greater than Jesus. Again he is disclaiming divinity.
Matthew 19:17 "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." When a man referred to Jesus by good master, Jesus replied to him by saying that there is only one good that is God. If Jesus cannot even claim that he is good, then why should he claim that he is God?
These are all verses from the Bible. Some show Christ to be God or having some qualities of God and others show that he is not God and that he does not have divine qualities. Which should we believe? Aren’t these contradictions? I say to all my Christian brothers that brought me verses that claim Christ’s divinity, "now you have to explain to me how this is possible. What does all this mean?"
Is Jesus the same as God? Part 1?
God made man in the image of himself
jesus was sent to earth by God with the perfect human DNA makeup, one so perfect it made him and his power far beyond our ability
this DNA information can be found in our lifetime, It is written on oblisk buried 4000 years ago in a huge earthquake next to the dead sea in Jordan.
when jesus gave his blood to his desciples, it wasn't the cup itself had significance but his pure Godly Blood
Man is 5, the Devil is 6, and God is 7. This is an evolutional process that man will one day discover. we just entered our fifth stage, and will take a couple of thousand years of spirituality to get to this sixth stage. the sixth stage is not evil because beelze bub is there, but he is not yet a God and cant reach the 7th stage without us denying his power by evil acts
the 5th stage started in 1988 and will continue to around 4600 man will enter this spiritual level soon after armagedon which is approaching with haste
repent and love one another, as population will drop from 6billion to 1 billion after the four horseman arrive which are now in our horizon

"I am not yet ascended to my Father"means that he was still alive,because when somebody dies he goes back to the CreatorLuke24:36-41:"And as they[the disciples]thus spake,Jesus himself stood in the midst of them,and saith unto them:'Peace be unto you.'But they were terrified and frightened,andsupposed that they had seen a spirit.And he said unto them: 'Why are ye troubled,and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.Touch me, and see, for a spins hath not flesh and bones,as ye see that I have...

Matthew 28:5-7 reads, "The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples , He has RISEN FROM THE DEAD, and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you too".
Luke 24:45-49, reads, Then He, (Jesus), openend their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and RISE FROM THE DEAD on the third day, and repentence and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem". - Here, Jesus reinstates it was he who was crucified.
If anyone also wants to read more about Christ's crucifixion and death %26amp; his ressurection, read the book "The Case for Christ", chapter 11. You'll understand that Jesus died on the cross after you read Lee Strobel interview with Alexander Metherell, M.D.,PH.D. Metherell uses his expertise as a physician to describe in vivid detail just what Christ went through, and how He died on the cross. He leaves anyone reading his account convinced that Jesus did die on the cross and wasn't just swooned or faint from what he went through.

Reply:That does not state anywhere that Jesus said He didn't die on the cross! He died and rose back from the dead. The Apostles were troubled because they watched Him die and help to lay Him in the tomb, and yet there He was three days later standing before them. People spirits do return to the Father upon death, this is true, BUT, Jesus Christ was more than just a person, He is The manifestation of God in the flesh. He had not returned to the Father, at that time, so that He could show the People that He was and would do just as He said He would do.

• Italian government art experts are said to be “90 percent sure” that a sculpture recently found in a monastery in Lebanon is the work of the famous Italian artist Michelangelo. The small wooden carving is said to be worth $2.5 million (U.S.) if it actually is Michelangelo’s work. According to an Associated Press report, “the figure is unusual because it represents Christ with his hands stretched out above his head instead of to the side, as he usually is depicted on the cross.”
Whether the wooden sculpture is the work of the 16th-century artist Michelangelo or not, it illustrates that the impalement of Christ on a cross frame has not always been so certain as Christendom’s leaders today would have people believe. For example, the 16th-century Roman Catholic scholar Justus Lipsius illustrated impalement on an upright stake in his book “De Cruce Liber Primus.” This fits the meaning of the Greek word used in the Bible to describe the impalement of Christ—“stauros”—which “denotes, primarily, an upright pale or stake.”—“An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words,

When Jesus died on the cross He went into the pits of hell and conquered it. Then He arose and when Mary Magdelene found Him He had not yet ascended to God in Heaven so He told her not to touch Him. This is clearly in John chapter 20. Further on in verse 26 Jesus tells Thomas to "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

(2) “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots” (Luke 23:34). Here, Jesus is demonstrating His love and forgiveness by asking God to forgive those who crucified Him.
(3) “And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). In this passage, Jesus is assuring one of the criminals on the cross that when he died, he will be with Jesus in heaven.

If she feels that it is trivial, it may be time to move on if it is really important to you!
Reply:it means your going to fast and you need to wait. remember that if u went on only 1-5 dates, i wouldn't really consider that a boyfriend or a girlfriend. if it happened to me, then i know its to fast. you gotta be patient.
Reply:If you have been sexually active ...this is the cause. Sexual activity prior to a marriage bond may cause contempt.
Reply:Shes Probably Mad at you.Try To Figure out why.
Reply:maybe you did something annoyed her
Reply:I THINK SHE'S A LESBIAN! JUST LEAVE HER. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON HER.
Reply:Well maybe she is uncomfortable touching you and just needs time. If you have been going out for like a month, then just wait %26amp;%26amp; treat her with respect and DONT PUSH IT WITH HER! just a reminder! lol well if a long time then ask her why and start thinking about going your own way aka breakup! GOOD LUCK!
Reply:Is she trying to break up with you? Or has she joined up with a non-touching cult? Yeah, talk to her about this and why.
Reply:umm do something to make her wanna touch u ,, maybe go get a shower ,, lool
Reply:You might want to find out what's going on with her. Usually women feel that way when they have been sexually abused. On the other hand, it could be that she's on her days and just feels that way. If it's the latter one, it will pass. If not, she might need therapy. If it happened to me, i probably tried to find out what's happening to her. And I probably feel helpless if I couldn't help her out.
Reply:You should try to talk to her and find out what is wrong. Are you a new couple or do you have history? Did she used to touch you in all kinds of ways including sexually? or has she always been cold and kind of prudish?
Those answers would help more.
If things were fine and now all of a sudden she no longer wants to touch you in ALL ways, anymore, then it sounds like she wants out of the relationship, may not feel the same anymore, or sorry to say...might be cheating. Maybe it is her hormones? I don't know sweetie, we need more information. Maybe if you can add some details it might help us answer better. I'm sorry for you, that is a terrible thing for her to say, but you didn't say if she meant anymore ever or just today, maybe she is going through something. Please fill more in and we can narrow it down more.
Reply:Flip it around next time she touches you, tell her you dont feel like being touched by her.. Watch her get all pissy goodtimes...
Reply:i think she lost interest. either that or shes mad about something.
Reply:Get away from her.
Reply:It means you either did something really bad or she has found someone else and dosen't have the balls to break up with you! Dump her!
Reply:You didn't ask her why, but you're asking a bunch of strangers on the computer? There's alot wrong with this picture. Talk to her not us.
My girlfriend told me today that she didn't really feel like touching me. Not just sexually... but at all...
I would break up with her
1) consider breaking up with her
2) maybe you have disgusting habits or blow your nose in public, pick your nose, passing of gas.
3) girls who don't hug or hold hands at the last, from experience of 3+ girls, not going anywhere especially if you want that sexually.
4)It's a waste of time for this girl. So what, she wants to be seen in public with you, or you to buy her stuff, and you get no physical stuff back?
Reply:This was supposedly researched but makes no sense. I %26amp; a few others wasted our time putting thought into our answers and giving advice and THIS makes best answer for being well thought out? lol..are you kidding? this is funny Report It
Reply:she wants to save it for someone special (her future husband)
Reply:OUCH!
Reply:She's probably not as comfortable with you as you may think or as she might have told you.
Try asking her why, and if she doesn't have a legit answer, end it. There should be a reason for that.
Reply:Depending on how long you've been going out, she either thinks you're moving too fast, or she's losing interest.
If you've been going out for a short time, slow down..
If you've been going out for a while, it might be best to separate.
Reply:YIKES...thats a red flag
Reply:I would feel very hurt. I would let her go her separate way and give her the space she is telling you she needs. I don't think that this is a good sign!
Reply:She needs to tell you exactly what that means... personally it doesn't sound good but maybe she is just not feeling well or something. Its easy to assume the worst.
I would probably feel alarmed... maybe a bit insecure. I would talk to her more about it to find out though.
Reply:If this happened to me I'd know that I was trying to be with a REALLY wrong person. This means..... take a hike... get lost..
Reply:take a shower!!!
Reply:Pre warning to expect the boot.

keeep trying to impress your husband and watch him if he loves anybody else talk with him what problem with him.why he is not coming closer to you.
Reply:I can understand your problem. i am not even married yet, but with my boyfriend of over 2 years, and we still have not had sex... if you two havent had sex ever yet, maybe he has a problem, my boyfriend does... and we dont know how to fix it, because it has to do with his sensation... and how the feeling in his penis is... but if you guys have had sex together before and now he is starting to act like that.... I would be scared... sometimes after the marriage comes, other halves become their true selves... it is really scary, and i hope that is not the case with you... i feel unattractive because of what is with me and my boyfriend, and i am sure you are starting to feel that way also... make sure to make yourself feel good, by putting on some make up and doing whatever else to please yourself... and hopefully he will see what a great person you are and your happiness and sexuality will come through by doing all that stuff and he will realize how he has been and take care of you!
Reply:well, were you guys living together before you got married? maybe it's that he thinks it doesn't matter anymore since he already got you(you know, since you got married to him). you should try to get him really relaxed. after he comes home from work, have him take a bath, and join in. from there, things will get rolling. if that doesn't work, then during the night, wake him with a gentle kiss and let things go from there. if it doesn't work, then i really don't know what else to say.
Reply:sounds to me like he does not like to have sex, you best find another way to quench your desires or just get out of a sexless marriage!
Reply:Sounds to me like you didn't check your good out before you bought it at the Marriage checkout line.
Was your man different before you married him? Communicate to him...what you need....and that you need more than what he's giving you. If this doesn't work...tell him you're making an appointment for both of you to see a marriage counselor.
If this still doesn't work....sorry to say...you'll either be #A be in a relationship marriage with no sex or touching, or #B you'll see an attorney and file for either an annulment or divorce or #C you'll knock some since into the lazy a$$ and make him work for the cookies he wants!
Reply:Go get the marriage anulled while you still can and find someone who you will be happy with.
