Ot i wanted for once to see

My curiosity was piqued. I searched my online version (NKJV) and the
word Marbek does not appear at all. Other translations might have it
but I don't have those on the computer.

Nearly every language has a word or two that looks or sounds like a word
in
another language, and may translate as something unfortunate or amusing.
Most of us just live with it, instead of getting obsessed about it!

For goodness sake, Mirjam - it`s already been explained to you how the name
MarBek was arrived at in this particular case. Do you have to persist even
in something this innocent?

I`ve no wish to talk to you about anything, to be honest, and really have no
interest in your needlework which seems to be just an extension of your
anger and depression, and of looking backward instead of forward.

Do not worry about tomorrow`s troubles. Today has enough troubles of it`s
own.

Personally and in this particular instance? Because the way I read
your comments when you showed somebody's signature line (who is
stitching the Marbek Nativity) implied that Marbek was in some way
derogatory. Perhaps that was my own mis-interpretation of a quoted
post (since at the time I wasn't seeing your posts directly) and I may
be completely off the mark.

And it doesn't anger or annoy me (again, personally) so much as sadden
me. It's comments like these and the way people interpret them that I
think start some of our flame wars, and I certainly don't want to see
us go through another week like we did in July.

Just my two cents.

Why do you think the term is connected with the Nativity narrative??

I was annoyed because it appeared from your post that you were insisting
that the company's name came straight from the Hebrew. I wasn't annoyed
that you reacted to the Hebrew term. You had already done so in an
earlier post. It was the perceived insistance that was annoying.

Mrs PP
I challenge you to give the name or adress of the other Ng that
according to you suffers from my spite ....if it exists ?????
Throwing general descriptions like this, is a known demagogery trick.
. It`s noteable, too, that this isn`t the
only newsgroup that suffers from your spite.
As to making concessions to others i think that over the years i have
objected your rude posts about Catholics , Gypsies, Unmarried mothers,
Telemarketers &other minorities, all of which you attacked and i asked
you to stop.
consider your over-delicate feelings, but make no concessions to anyone
else`s. You throw out false accusations all the time and wallow in self
pity.
Unlike you i never throw false accusations, you say i annoy others Ng
, PROOVE IT , give a name !!!!! i kept many of your Anti-semitic and
Xhenophobic posts.

. Your frequent silences and
reappearances
Excuse me ??? i read daily , am i supposed to punch a daily card , so
you know i am here , Do you pay me wages , that you have the right to
check my coming and going?
spitting venom indicate it as does your occasional use of
fairly good English, followed by torrents of barely deciperable rubbish.
A lot of the Venomous words i learnred from YOU!!! , as to rubbish or
false information , check your own posts, for accuracy , only this
morning i read a post By you that Says that Princess Dianne is still
alive and shopping somewhere in London.

It would be quite understandable if your life of constant tension and
introspection exacerbated and mental problems you may have. You certainly
need help and I really cannot help but feel sorry for you. Don`t bother
yourself - any of your invective washes over me like water off a duck`s
back.

By the way - I never talk about wines - I don`t drink. The only Wines
around here come from you - and they`re spelt with an "h"!

I am sory you really take the whole corespondence out of i`t contents
, i took the names of DebbM `s embroideries , to make a point to her
about making assumptions aboput unknown people based only on what was
written in the posts here, I showed it to some Friends who commented
about Said lady , by reading the names of her works.


your comments when you showed somebody's signature line (who is
stitching the Marbek Nativity) implied that Marbek was in some way
derogatory. Perhaps that was my own mis-interpretation of a quoted

Nothing was/is derogatory, the word has a certain meaning and i
explained that , No offence meant at all .
I am soory you miinterpreted it.
me. It's comments like these and the way people interpret them that I
think start some of our flame wars, and I certainly don't want to see

Maybe the Intial first remarks that make me and some others react as
we do , are the unkind ones that make wars, .....????
thank you for telling me your thoughts , Have a Fruitful day.

There are so many versions of the Bible , so mant versions of the
nativity story , i remember it clearly because it seemed so odd at the
time , and my teacher than , explained that it came fromthis direct
conotation of Feeding place ,,,, Some things are stuck in one`s memory
because of their oddity. mirjam

You read the word, the actual word "marbek" in an English language
version? I'm sure you're mistaken. "Marbek" has no meaning in English
at all.

Interesting. The translation in most current versions is manger, which is
indeed a feeding place for animals, and is, as you could guess by looking
at it, derived from the same French roots as the verb "manger", to eat.
I wonder if the words share a long-ago ancestor.
