I did say EARLY christian based religions obviously the modern christian churches dont follow this dogma any more, but it does show WHY periods where called the "Curse" in the new testement Jesus does cure a women who cant stop bleeding.I'll have to look it up long time since i have read the bible.

Hear it is !
Mark 5:25-34
And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, `Who touched me?'"

But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

I still vote for "Budwick"!

It used to be shark week, but i think Budwick is definitely winning!

My gran use to say
"Having a period is a blessing not a curse, the curseing starts when you don't have a Period specially if your not wed yet!"In our home its just plain "time of the Month"

Im just glad Ive got sons not daughters - I dont think I could cope with anyone elses PMT - coping with my own is bad enough [as Im sure my hubby would agree].

Anyone got any good methods for calming the short temperedness that comes just before a period ?

So Woman has the curse and a MAN can cure her of it


I don't mean anyone any offence but I do believe that there is a hell of alot of Christian Mythology that has been created mearly to suppress women. I believe that it was a backlash from the celebration of women in more ancient reigions (eg. pagan)

I think it can be safe to say that most religions can get hijacked by people who wish to bend its laws and rules to fit there own designs.
