1300 signs! :dance:

1230+ and counting... :dance:

Oh yes, absolutely. I plan to keep studying and studying. Sometimes I just sit around signing to myself to try to uncover words I don't know yet. It's still a struggle to figure out a trustworthy source for the "right" signs, but I just learn them all.... PSE and ASL both... --Cal

Yeah. Put you left hand forward, palm up. Make a V with your right hand, palm side up. Drag the V (palm up) across your left palm, and as you bring it across, curl the ends of the V (sort of like "insect", but across your palm instead of your nose). Repeat this motion two or three times. As...

I'm a hearing person, and only in the past year have I really begun to understand deafness, as I've started to learn sign and worked with my ASL teachers (who are culturally Deaf). I understand why deaf people are often afraid to vocalize. There are a lot of ignorant people in the world. You...

If that's directed at me, I guess I can blame myself for not being more brief in the posting, you probably didn't really read it. (It was long, but I was trying to summarize the breadth of Christian thought on homosexuality, which, contrary to popular opinion, isn't all one way.) Essentially...

Prayers for your grandma, family, and doctors involved. :grouphug:

I love this thought process. What's even better is to alter it just a bit and then see Jesus' answer. In other words: "Who is the best disciple? Who has the least sin?" The answer can be found toward the end of the story of the Last Supper, and the Washing of the Disciples' Feet...

good point

This is an interesting thread! So, original post was about religion and homosexuality. So, I'm going to comment on that aspect. (Sorry for the long post...) Basically, there are about three levels fo this "homosexuality is sin" debate. At the top layer (and probably the weakest...

Whelp, I've been learning sign for about a year now, and I finally had an opportunity to sign with my sister and her husband (he's been nerve deaf for a number of years). I just thought I'd share that it feels so great to be able to have a conversation with him again. Wow, what a difference...

beaut

Yeah, that's pretty much the way I saw the whole thing too. That's why I kind of think the people who are claiming "crab theory" are wrong. She just seemed like a bad choice... had less to do with her being Deaf, and more to do with the fact that you can't lead those who won't follow you...

I hope you're joking.... she signs all the time.... she's fluent.

Actually, I'm hearing, and I'm learning ASL. I guess my perspective is that I could care less about someone who's so Deaf that they're going to cop an attitude with me because I'm not. I do my best, and yeah, I'm probably signing some SEE/PSE, but I'm still working on it. I guess my thought...
