My current religious orientation I am ethnically Jewish, in terms of a specific organized religion - knowledgable but agnostic, in terms of belief in a higher power which has gone by names such as God, Godess, the Divine, the Higher Power as one understands it (have an eating disorder), I have...

Another Westchester Update Going back to work on Monday! Things are also much improved between me and my other half right now. We are back to being affectionate and with good communication, both of which were always features of our relationship before Jr. was in the mix. Once I see how the...

Will be going back to work soon as a full time shrink (MD type) in a few weeks after having first (and hubby prefers only) child. Admittedly we both often put in 90 hour weeks (he's a lawyer type), but I still (having been an only child) want kiddo to have at least one sib if not more. My...

Actually, El Shaddai could be tranlated as God of the Breast, however, culturally this really should be translated as God of the Mountain. There are many cultural parallels of thinking of a mountain as a breast, including the Grand Tetons. There are a lot of pre-monotheistic, polytheistic...

Counseling? I agree with the idea that there may be a lot of issues brewing in your marriage and possibly carry over from past relationships that could be part of this. Is your wife ready to go to counseling before jumping into this relationship she gave you an ultimatum about? And what if...

Hi Sage, My bipolar is usually under good control and I work as a psychiatrist. However, I think people in my business use far too many meds piled on meds, instead of trying med holidays, especially since it is not clear to me that any of the dopamine blockers we use today for longer periods...

http://www.getora.com/news.html Although not in a true sense polyfi, as it is actually a solution to a marriage that failed to dissolve properly, it is still an interesting site.

Hi, Did you enter poly (presumably polyfi?) for the right reasons? Like, do you have a religious faith or culture of origin in which it is the usual arrangement? Or because you and your sig other really had some one of good character that you really wanted in your lives? Or was it just that...

Ok, makes a lot of assumptions about our pre-historic past, including that all agricultural groups must be male dominated jerks and all foragers are marvelous sharing and free-love types. However, I do think, that if you feel close enough to another human being you are capable of sharing a...

Read your I believe in Santa Claus poem, it is very raw and real, and has really gripping images, I think you are still polishing up your style, but you are very talented so please, please keep writing!

Hi, loved your rap poem, its rhythm and rhyme are so good that you can read it off right the first time!, not to mention all the beautiful imagery Hope your musical career takes off really well! I seem to come across so many talented artists and I often wonder why they are not the stars that...

Hi T, It is not clear to me through all this if you truly have polyfidelity as a belief, as a way you want to live, or if you were simply in an ethical dilemma that many monogamous by nature people find themselves in (and for that matter even people in polyfi relationships if they love a new...

Oh, It seems like the post I just put up got lost somehow, anyway - the tradition I heard is that all the Jews have to be able to behave in an ethical, lovingkind and united way to merit the Redemption of the world for everyone. This actually is a much harder feat to do, then to just have one...

Actually, the Talmud is not at all against modern law and custom. The Talmud actually requires one to obey the law of the country one lives in. Next, pray tell, what is modern custom? I believe that modern custom is to live by the ethics one believes in, so long as they do not contradict the...

It is indeed true that all any non-Jew is only required to follow the Laws of Noach as listed by Magdlyn. The trick to this question is that Christians state they are inheritors of the Jewish Covenant (if one makes claim to this, one is essentially making claim to being a Jew in a certain...

Hi Edward, The Jewish rabbi was not saying you don't know the words because you are not a Jew. There are tons of words in the Bible the best, wisest Jewish scholar in the whole world (dare I even say universe?) doesn't know, and that is what that rabbi was telling you. However, the Jewish...

Many people do still follow Biblical law, some with better ability and some with less, but their intent is to follow it. The Mosaic law of the Bible can't be understood out of the context of Jewish Oral Law which is in the Talmud. Essentially, as a Jewish Court of Law is always required to...

Was perusing the debate in the thread on Christianity and polyamory, see that as in some strands of Judaism, being gay and women's rights are being argued about based on the Bible. The only actual physical act outlawed by the Jewish part of the Bible is the act of Sodomy and it is forbidden...

Pretty much as above. You can't be true to the value of being an honest caring human being, without letting both your men know how you feel and then let the chips fall where they may. I can't speak to all of Christian scripture, because aside from a class in English in ninth grade where my...

Hi I don't know who moderates the polyfidelity group, but the latest posting there is for an escorts agency! I think the moderator of the group may want to remove the commercial site!
