Wow Chicpea- at home births! not fair! I had my first natural in a hospital (we got there a day early first timmer- got a bit panicy lol), My second was my horror story I had been avoiding telling but any hoo- Emergancy, extremely last minute, do or die Csection! We made it through labour only for my 10pounder to get wedged and stuck at the last minute, it was close, but number 3 was a planned Csection as the scaring left from my second was too bad for a natural birth anywhere, so had no choice last time either. I still feel brave enough to do it one last time though, but not till next year and after I forget posting about my second birthing experiance lol but the pain was worth it!

I should have added to my earlier comment that it does not matter either way (male or famale) who does the delivery or after care- as long as you are comfortable with that person/persons- for mothers and their babies it is a very special time and needs to be as stress free as possible! The last thing we need after giving birth is to feel uncomfortable around the people who are suposed to taking care of us!
And Chalam- the last thing ANY woman needs to be told is that it is not only because of someone elses sin that makes childbirth painfull but the fact that it is GOD increaseing her PAIN! the bible god was definatly a MANS MAN!

Restrangled- I sympothise, only I walked out on a female doctor who had never givin birth for being rude and too 'rough handed' when i was pregnent with my second son. I prefer a sympothetic male doctor- My usual 'male' doctor even warms his hands up first! and the best care I was ever given in hospital after giving birth was from a male nurse (although he was a bit bashfull about helping me have a shower after a Csection- but he was still new to the maternity ward).
the 3rd study article in the june 15, 2009 issue of the watchtower is entitled speak truth with your neighbor.
it has as its opening subheading who is our neighbor?, which includes paragraphs 4-7.. for those interested, page 17 is found in its entirety in a scan found at http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/180262/1/you-can-lie-to-apostates-but-not-the-elders-aug-23-study-wt.
this linked topic has prompted me to start the topic we are at here.. paragraph 4 mentions that some jewish leaders taught that the term "neighbor" was only to be applied to "worthy" individuals, such as fellow jews or personal friends.
Spike- I have been researching proverbs and sayings from around the world, from the US "cunning men deal in generalizations!" and Japan "only a fool tests the water with both feet!" The only usefull 'proverb' I have found from the hebrew culture is this "never aproach a goat from the front, or a horse from the back nor a fool from any side!"...
...or, love stinks.
i am so unprepared for this.
i feel like a kid just walking into willy wonka's chocolate factory.
I remember my first real date- Dinner, a movie and a romantic walk and talk... our eldest son was only 8 weeks old and at home with a babysister- that was over seven years ago now.
I skipped the "dating" process with my husband- we had known each other for a few years as friends and two days before my 18th birthday something just clicked- we moved in together and 3 months later baby No1 was on his way- everyone said we were crazy, that we were too young, it wont last blah blah blah.... 8 years later we are married, now have 3 kids, still in what most people call the honeymoon period and trying for number 4! It has been a roller coaster ride of quick thinking and NO planning that for us has just worked for us!
My advice- stop looking and trying so hard- just let it happen, go with the flow and always be yourself! Your a very likable guy and if i wasn't so blissfully happily married I'd date you!

I'd share my horror stories about giving birth with ya too Oompa- only I dont want to put myself off going back for baby No 4 next year! LOL
i've been doing a lot of thinking and have been leaning toward a new conclusion about god.
i'm thinking that i believe in his existance but think that he does not play an active role in our lives.
he does not cause evil but also does not bless...... what do you think?.
Desi- if you are interested in researching more about Deism- here is a more 'postive' place to start- http://www.naturesgod.org/religion.html
son: hi dad.. dad: hi son.. son: so, what do you want to do today?.
dad: nothing.. son: want to play a game?.
dad: same as you son....same as you.. .
Welcome Mr Pink!

1. how many contradictory creation of man stories are there in genesis?.
Thankyou Bob- I didn't write this test or the answers as I said to Glen, I put it on here to see if it needed tweeking/fixing up. You have made some great points and you are correct in your response! I apreaciate people who take the time to concider the question before they answer.
