What kind of jibberish is this? and in what state is it a law? I think that it is sick, really.

yes in fact my mother while I grew up always told me she wished I wasn't born and that since I was that I should of been a boy. (THAT HURT!). I don't know allot about my father, but I wish I could of been with him from birth on and not my mother. I do love her for she is my mother but I know she loves my brother more than I and I know my dad loves me allot. I am 35 and this is a true story!

his real name was Temujin, and he was born the oldest some of a lower class tribal Chieftain in Mongolia.  When young Temujin was 9-12, his father was murdered and, being the oldest child, was now made into the new Chieftain of the Kiyad and a nöker (vassal) of Ong Khan of the Kerait tribe.  \n\nThe rest, is history.

Remember there are 40+ siblings and the family had disowned Osama long before 9/11.\n\nVarious members of the family were understandably concerned about their safety in the aftermath of 9/11.\n\nThe decision to allow a flight out was taken after consultation with the FBI etc.\n\nAny reprisals against family members, purely for having the same family name, would have caused a major diplomatic incident - the family run a very respected and successful business empire.

Does the Bible ever mention any offspring of Jesus'?  You'd think that if the writers of the Bible were going to mention such detail as the lineage of all of the major kings, they'd mention something that important.  My guess would be no, he didn't have kids, and no, he wasn't gay, and no, he didn't marry Mary Magdalene, and no to all the other ridiculous rumors people make up because they just don't want to believe the truth.  Funny how people will believe a lie any day over the truth.

Well, I am on the opposite end of this one. I wish I didn't know my parents, or at least had different ones. They have been nothing but a source of disappointment for me. When I was little, I used to wish that someone would come and adopt me. I think with Vega, she should be glad she had a male figure who was willing to be her father- and not worry about who the sperm donor was. If her real dad cared, he would have been there for her.

His mother was extremely overprotective.  Norman was unable to establish an identity independent of hers.  He lacked social skills because his mother would not allow him to have emotional relationships with people other than her.  She was his world and when she died, he was unable to comprehend that fact.  He acted to perpetuate his world by preserving his mother's body and believing that she survived.\n\nHis mother chose to marry his father because he was a dependent person whom she could control.  He did not have much influence on Norman because his mother would not allow it.\n\nNorman's mother had an inadequately developed ego.  She derived her sense of worth from the people she controlled.  As a consequence of dominating her husband, she did not respect him as a man and could not respond to him sexually.  She projected her sexual frustration onto Norman, and although they did not have an overtly sexual relationship, sex was the energizing force in her dominating him.

No, but I think they made themselves look like fools saying they were not an item.  1 yr. later he's adopting her kids and she's pregnant.

Jesus never said that and they verse you are thinking of is \n\nGen 38:9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.\n\nread the whole chapter

Yea they are all his kids but the oldest three have a different mother and the youngest two are by his current wife. That's why in the recent episode his wife wanted a lil girl because she has two boys by rev run.

I would say Hannah. She lived during a time of spiritual drought. Eli the priest was lazy and his two sons were Hophni and Phineas were corrupt. Hannah longed for a son but the Lord closed her womb. Her husband, Elkanah wasn't very supportive but he gave her the better portions of his gifts. He had another wife Peninnah, who provoked her sorely, I mean, she really rubbed it in Hannah's face the fact that she could not bear children. I bet she was horrible to live with. But Hannah had heart, she cried out to God and asked the Lord to give her a son so that he would serve the Lord all the days of his life.  She would raise him as a Nazarite, separated for the purpose of God alone. She would give her son back to God because she knew Israel needed a true leader after God's heart and mind. When she had Samuel, she kept her word and lent him to the Lord all the days of his life. Because of Hannah's prayer, Israel had a faithful priest to the Lord who was steadfast  in his allegiance to God and devotion to His will and ways. Her prayers of anguish produced a mighty man of God's heart and mind. Now, that's my kind of woman to emulate!

I think that there is a chance that ther could be one man in Egypt who does not want to have children. Surely at least some of the dead men might not. So unless he is the last man in Egypt and he wants to have a child, then the area is too large for anyone to speak for.

Ok, Brainiacs.  So Nohas sons has wives.  Who did those children procreate with?  The only options are: Grandparents, Parents, Siblings, and/or cousins.  Incest, incest, incest.  Gross.  You are morons.

I'm surprised it lasted this long.  He was married to Linda for an eternity before she died of cancer and I don't think he ever got over that.  He was looking for companionship and still hoping to find a love like that again which usually only happens once.  I'm sad for him and the baby girl they share but, I think she had no intention of sticking it out.  I think she got exactly what she wanted a link to his money for life==a child.  She can traipse all over the world for her favorite causes on his dime and never work again.

The story is not true but many aspects of the book are true. There is an Opus Dei, there is a gospel of Phillip and Mary Magdalene, and a few others, almost certain Mary was not a prostitute but a disciple of Jesus, there is a Rose Line, and according to wikipedia, the Council of Nicaea DID convene to determine if Jesus was God, but the Priory of Sion was shown to be a hoax, and pretty sure Mary Magdalene is not buried at the entrance to the Louvre. It is very probably that Jesus, being a normal Jewish man, would've been married, however, there's really no way to know whether or not Jesus had a child. So believe what you will, just know that the Catholic Church has a remarkable tendency to hide the truth to suit its own needs.

I don't know... but he should never have taken her back when she cheated on him with their best friend around the time their son, Adam was killed... He's a very forgiving and strong man. If anyone ended the relationship, it's probably cause she topped the last one...
