Anastasia didn't have her period in exile?

[clockworkgirl21]

Which question? Is someone's health not appropriate to discuss? Is it my question about when the girl's had their periods? You act as if that's a dirty thing, not normal. It's completely normal, and I ask what's not appropriate about it.

[rskkiya]

Just a stupid question, but I'm curious. If OTMA had been old enough to have periods when their brother was born, would they have been allowed to attend Aleksey's christening? Also, I know girls had their periods later in those days. Can someone told me how old OTMA was when they had theirs? Just curious. )?

I do know that N & A did not attend the christening of Alexie - as it was an orthodox tradition. I don't know if the daughters attended it either and I don't think "age' keeps one from attending various Orthodox services -- but I am not Orthodox.
Sorry if that doesn't help.

PS the daughters probably all started menses at about the age of 15-16 - I am not certain.

A woman can not have communion while having her period because she is bleeding - not because she is unclean. I wouldn't be able to have communion if I was bleeding either. It is just one of those things - and it is good for teaching us humility - we can't always have what we want when we want. It is a big deal to take the Living God into one's own body, not something to be taken lightly without due preparation.

(Don't worry Bluetoria, I know you respect me, and Orthodoxy, it is just an area we'll have to agree to disagree about. If I was female, I don't know how hard or easy it would be for me to accept these rules, but there has been occasion when I have been unable to Commune, even though I'd prepared, and it made me realise that while I thought I was ready for Communion, spiritually I wasn't prepared at all, and so God saw to it that I would be unable to Commune that day.)

Good!

This question is not appropriate

Not really, FA. I disgree with you.

In another topic, we ( some Members and I "well sort of") were talking about Grand Dukes and Tsars.etc of their love (sex) lives.

and in One of Alexei's topics about him having a problom "were the sun don't shine!" you know what i mean.

My guess OTMA should have got it between 13-16. the ages of getting IT is 9-16 today.

The decision and request came directly from Bob Atchison. this is his forum, and so we respect those few times he asks that something not be pursued.
Thanks for understanding.

FA,
I understand, and sure, I we won't discuss it further. But I would really like to understand the desion process behind it.  I didn't think talking about a women's menstral cycle was taboo. As Mandie said, there are a lot more taboo discussions going on in the forum.

[clockworkgirl21]

I don't think there is a process behind it. Bob Atchison doesn't like it, therefor we have to stop talking about it. This angers me, since it's just Anastasia's period, not something sexual or anything, but if we don't want frozen, we must shut up. So I'm shutting up.

[Laura Mabee]

Ok whatever. I guess we'll let this die.
But I still think it's rediculous for having a topic on someting that is perfectly normal be taboo. Sure it may be unconfortable for people, but they don't have to read this.

Okies then.. I'll stop  :-/

[Maria_Pavlovna]

but they don't have to read this.

Very true




Note: I delete one of my post, because some people got all upest about.

DOT Blame me for god's sake!!!! I didn't start this TOPIC!

Bob I'm sure has very good reasons for not wanting things like this discussed.  Most likely since young children will come onto this forum and their parents would not be too happy about discussions like this!  I know if I was, say, 12, my parents wouldn't either!  So that's that.

Yes, of course! But I didn't put anything nasty tho.

Very illuminating, if rather inappropriate. I enjoyed the letters posted earlier in the thread. Thanks for posting them. I always wondered about some of those things If anything, having a topic like this illustrates the modern interest in every aspect of the Romanov's lives even one very private. In theory, discussing a topic like this would not be bad, but people can carry things too far, and it is probably best this topic was stopped. Anyway what would Anastasia think

[Tania]

 

That's just it, Anastasia was taught to think first, [as all the Grand Duchesses were appropriately instructed], then proceed accordingly. In those days, it was all the more of importance not to put mouth in gear, before the old brain went to work.

Now days, it seems as if its ok to say anything without really any thinking behind it all. But, that's what 100 years does in terms of social ins and outs....
