Personally I think the higher power i know has never left so coming back isn't really an issue. The God i know wasn't on vacation and is always with us. I may have drifted away from that knowledge but it was my drift only. We each have our own feelings on this issue but that is mine.

Hugs,

They're already doing stem cell research, and making plenty of fantastic advancements. The problem isn't that it isn't happening, it just isn't happening on large scale due to lack of funding because of religious interference.

People have been saying that for almost 200 years if you are talking about Christ rather than God and I'm with Charlie on the God part.

It also says very clearly that no one knows or can foretell when. My advise is t live your life as if it will last forever and as if today is your last day. That by the way is not really contradictory.

myself I believe in living a God centered life but prefer the word Creator because so many denominations and groups have tried to put boxes around the very word God that it somehow seems inaccurate anymore but I don't consider myself religious - I consider myself spiritual. The Pharisees were religious. But not spiritual.

"Love Ye one Another" was the heart of Jesus ministry. He taught tolerance - it was those who were narrowly religious who came after who began to teach intolerance. At least that is my understanding from studying the bible and biblical history. But each of us must find his or her path.

Besides if Christ is returning soon all your angst about being trans and your equipment is meaningless anyway. Personally I am going to prepare for the best future I can and live my life as fully as I can today because for every one of us young and old each day could be our last.

I'm not so much hoping for the stem cell thing as the 3D printer that even now is being used experimentally to print using living cells cloned from the recipient into shapes scanned in using 3d imaging. They can't yet produce a working organ but are actually closing in on it rapidly.

Well God told me for everyone to chill out and enjoy some stem cell research, cause he didn't wanna come back just yet. He said that it was a bummer just thinking about it right now.

I agree.

to be honest, I find it a little ironic that we are supposedly Playing god' with stem cell research, yet hormone therapy, or even medicine in general, oh well that's ok.

I don't know why people are so worried about using the stem cells from a used placenta or a few hundred cell fertilized egg, which would never have grown into a human anyway.

Have read the bible, but I have my own beliefs or not beliefs, they just don't agree with what you believe.

Again *shrugs*. I think Stem cell research is in our near future.

I wouldn't speak in absolutes either, it can be considered disrespectful to others when concerning belief.

Well its true though, None of us have much longer believ it or not

Oh, Jay, you are such an incurable optimist. :)

Anyway, if we have such a short time, you won't need to worry about dating and girls and marriage and sex, right?

What else is true is that peanutbutter is delicious and no one likes seafood.

Or would that just be true for me?

You should respect other's beliefs, there is really no if and or but about that. Just asking to make enemies if you don't.

This is truly an odd thread...st john wrote revelations on the island of patmos. He did this while he was starving. He was suffering from dementia and delusion. Just saying.

Revelations is a crazy book that no one should read exceot to get a good laugh.

Insert I beleive in god and jesus.

No Its not I meant watch how you talk about God, Saying certain sciptures or books in the bible is stupid is blasphemy, Which you cannot b forgiven for

I can guarantee you I have read more of the bible than you have. I used to teach it to others. I happen to find it unconvincing. Almost every sign mentioned in the bible such as increasing wars, famine, disease, increasing knowledge, could have easily been predicted if one assumed an increasing population, which would have been a logical assumption. Concluding that we now have more earthquakes is presumptuous, since the technology to find and record earthquakes is relatively new. We don't have more, we just know about more of them.

      @Ladypcnj So nice to meet a fellow musician and moderator/facilitator. Glad you are an active and caring member of the LBGTQ+ community.

      Absolutely. Being able to encourage, to help, others is so empowering. I've been helped by so many people over the years, I love being able to pay it forward.

      Good morning, everyone!!   A busy day ahead for me - need to cut the grass and then pick up the clippings. The grass grows so quickly this time of year. I cut almost 7 acres so that will take up most of my day. At least I can get some sun on my legs and arms!!   Time for another cup of coffee as I catch up here.   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      I started shaving my legs years ago - I started getting an occasional mild contact rash on my shins. That became my excuse to shave them for both me and my wife. Over time, the rash didn't expand...but my shaving did. Full legs....groin......chest......and finally my arms. Keeping the rash at bay was my excuse until I came out to my wife. Now I typically do a full shave on Sunday mornings. The hair is lighter but I just feel better with it gone - it helps with the dysphoria and dysmorphia. I will also typically do a chest touch-up mid week since I notice the growth more there.   I wish someone would invent a pill that would stop hair growth everywhere except on your head.

      Good morning.   im not sure where the time went.  I had a decent nights sleep,  didn’t  tell Alexa to let me sleep another 5 minutes,  I didn’t do anything extra but it’s almost time to leave and I just got here.  Definitely only a one cup morning.    I have the overhead console out of the Ford. It needed some repairs with toothpicks and glue.  Been sitting all night t for the glue to harden. I’m always to impatient with glue but not this time.  I want it to hold. Ok the next owner won’t be able to change the lightbulbs however in my defense, the are led so they will likely still work when the car goes to the salvage yard.   gotta go. Not as much on my plate at work today but it’s always busy.   Willow

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!

      Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation.  It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen.  It was actually Step 1 of many to follow.  I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care.  And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so.  Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today.  But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode.  The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again.  No going back ... at this point.

      Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes.  They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also.    fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone.  I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting.  I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down.  Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress.  I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings

      I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol

      Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that.  Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends.   It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being.  I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time
