[/B] Strange things , people, never know what will turn them on hey, must be the thought of a "hole in the head" :giggle: Its not yet 2 weeks since my surgery so scar is still raised and pink. However the thought of scar never entered my head when contemplating CI, after all the hair soon...

It is just so sad that many families have these problems, whether hearing or deaf. Makes me glad that I have such a good relationship with my boys. The main thing Dixie, is that you not let it turn you bitter, just hold your head up high and know that you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Typical male:rl::giggle:

The bold bit above only refers to speech defects, which can be present without deafness. So until I read in Bible that Moses was in fact deaf I will continue to believe he had speech problems alone. How would Moses inherit anything from the Pharaohs? arithitis or such, he was no blood...

I think she is saying her Deaf (capital D) brother and sister inlaw had their children implanted, not that the brother and sister in law themselves are implanted.

Great post, agree with everything said:bowdown:

Neither did I but then I never go into the religion forum. Your right about off topic, but then my spoken conversations rarely stay on one topic so go figure. By the way, what happened to R2D2, she started this thread then scarpered, probably just reading our inane comments and giggling to...

You say that the Koran can be taken as the word of God , literally, however this premise only works if you believe in Muhammed as a prophet. The Bible as we know it was translated from scrolls, (Dead sea scrolls?) by man so something may be lost in translation, however believing it is the word...

Aha, now we are getting to the nitty gritty, the Koran. I do believe this thread was started as a response to a post by a Christian in another thread. The Bible being the Christian book of choice (preferably the King James version) how do you make the leap from Bible to Koran.........remember if...

Can you explain your statement.."one is not supposed to believe in history the same way one believe in God" I dont quite understand what you are saying there. It is well know that history is written from totally different perspectives, the victor has one version and the defeated another.

Exodus chapter 2 describes the birth of Moses and his placing by his mother in a basket amongst the reeds on the banks of the Nile. Verse 2. When she saw he was a fine child he hid him for 3 months. Note a FINE child. There is no mention in this chapter of any disabilities, deafness or...

And here is silly old me thinking the dwarves were the court jesters:laugh2:

[/B] So your not a christian and dont believe anything you are writing about.....devils advocate?.....are you just looking for old time role models to boost your self esteem? I looked up the site you quoted in your first post and can see from reading that, the author is claiming Moses as a...

I cant even find mine...just hope doc remembered to pop it in before he stittched me up......:giggle:

Moses was a shepherd before leading Israel out of Egypt, every shepherd carried a rod, useful for clambering over rough ground and rocks I woudl think. I have just read Ex 14.21 Moses strecthed out his hand and the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind, The Israelites went thru...

You dont really need a "friend" like that do you,better off without her. I think most CI users view it as the "best" help they can get, not as cure all for deafness, once that CI is off your still deaf hey.

the same technology that you are dissing in CI is also used in many of the things YOU use in your every day life.......so........if your so anti technology cos its manmade then I suggest you give up a lot of your home conforts. What you stated in your original post is a lot of missinformation...

I guess it will just have to remain one of the great mysteries of the world

Thanks for that info Shel and deafbajagal

Sounds like I have a lot to be thankful for, I can rave on for hours and never have to think about how I sound, pronunciation etc. I constantly get people commenting on how well I speak, even an ex TOD who tested my hearing said that if he hadnt run the test himself he would never have believed...
