    Sign language

    Just like spanish is the mexicans or cubans in this country's native language, ASL is deaf people's native language. ASL is the preferred, due to the fact this is the deaf from birth's language. But most deaf understand not only asl but also PSE and some know SEE. The fact you are learning sign...

    Sign language

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    I stand by my message for the wonderful hope for all people. Even if we are completely well, we still get old and sick. This is for all people. If somehow my tone was not right, I apologize for my tone. Offending people is the furthest from my mind. But like Jeremiah who had a wonderful hope to...

    Age Guidelines Books ~ are they accurrate?

    45 decible loss is a moderate loss. She should not underestimate the problems of misunderstanding spoken communication her daughter will encounter. And maybe her hearing will get worse. Maybe the young girl screams so much because maybe she cant hear what mom is saying. Teaching her asl would be...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    I am saddened that you choose to twist my meaning and turn it into something biased and critical. I am not arrogant. I am giving people a hope for the future and nothing more. If deafness for eternity suits you, then I accept your decision. But I will gladly inform those who desire to know God's...

    Pros and cons of Oralism??

    No offense taken. I am not trying to teach anyone anything. I am merely expressing things I have learned and maybe there are a few brand new hearies on board. And as far as the novel is concerned, that is why I used the smiley with the popcorn lol. Sorry about that. Didn't mean to do that but my...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    There are some people that want to know deafness and other illnesses are around and they want to know not only how to deal with it now but also if there is any hope for the future. People want to know why we grow old and die, is this life all there is. Why do babies and children get abused? When...

    A dumb and deaf girl drowned in a river at Anyinasu

    Well you have to understand this is in a foreign country. The US knows better than to say that, but that awful term is still used in other countries. Dumb back in the 40-60's meant mute not stupid. But that word dumb now means stupid. It's like gay. It used to just mean happy. In fact my...

    More avenues being considered for deaf viewers

    CC is cool but if they had signed news broadcasts, then more deaf would get the news they deserve. Many deaf haven't learned how to read. So maybe they need to have a deaf station. Yeah! Like the spanish have their own channel for all their shows. But I guess maybe there are a whole lot more...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    Not exactly. God's chosen people would come from all the nations of the world as he loves all different races and cultures Acts10:35. Jesus when on earth said his kingdom was no part of this world. John 18:36, Luke 4:5-8. Also, Daniel 2:44 says that Jesus kingdom will put an end to all the...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    No. Israel is no longer God's chosen nation. They repeatedly took alliances with other kings and rejected God as king, and when they killed his son Jesus on the stake, that was their last straw. Matthew 23:37-39. God now deals with a spiritual Israel chosen from all the nations. Jesus made a new...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    You are right on so many fronts. Yes God loves a variety of people. Acts 10:34. Yes we live in an imperfect world. Romans 5:12. We are placed on this earth to help others and help those who are weak. Acts 20:35. I don't believe God enjoys our sufferings. He wants to reach out and help us when we...

    CSUN, NTID, Gally?

    Well obviously you want to be your self and I am sure you are really glad at speaking well. That makes you bilingual, not hearing. Maybe when you go to college and you are really in the deaf culture there, you can act deaf not use speech much. When you're with your hearing family and friends...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    Well people have a choice to believe as they wish. However, notwithstanding, Jehovah God expresses his will for humans in his word the Bible. Isaiah 35:5 says the blind and the deaf will see and hear again. Revelation 21:3,4 says all pain, outcry and death will be no more. Psalms 37:29 says the...

    Pros and cons of Oralism??

    I guess I am an unusual hearie. After all, I love and I mean love sign language. I loved SEE but now I am learning ASL and really superduper love ASL!! If I could communicate in ASL, and never needed english, I'd gladly switch. It's clear and simple yet grammatically intricate and very...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    I am sorry you don't believe in God though many feel as you do especially since they don't understand if he exists then why does he permit all these things to happen. Rest assured, there is a difference between causing something to happen and allowing it to happen. Man chose independance from...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    No God is not so cruel as to choose your son or anyone for that matter to have deafness or any other affliction. The devil is the root cause for all the suffering of mankind,we all suffer. Whether it is infirmities, or crime, or sorrow over losing a loved one growing old or dying. If you read...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    Actually that account is very interesting. Jesus actually used sign language to communicate with him and he took him along side privately to a quiet place so as to not startle the deaf man once he suddenly got his hearing back the crowds noises would have been to much for him it shows Jesus...

    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    I will gladly inform you. Jehovah God (God's personal name as found in Psalms 83:18, Exodus 6:3), does not cause these things. Proof what? James 1:13 Says God does not try anyone with evil nor can he be tried. He didn't cause these problems the devil did. He tempted adam and eve and induced...
