there is actually no different! it depends on waht u say! but "liking" alone is somehow to show what u likes and your feeling: ' i've a liking of swimming' and "like" following by a "to" is a simple verb!

well, i think sth is missed in this sentece, specially at the beginning; because the verb " had taken " has no relevant subject in this sentece ! forgetting about the verb, then it's i think understandable for both of us. and it means that the price of Swiss Brethren's ( btw. Anabaptists) position (possibly ideology of re-baptization of adults or the rejection of infant baptism ) was very high for they themselves. not a gauranteed interpretation, only my understandings :P

Heute

Heute haben wir unsere Elektronische Visa bekommen, Dann sind wir einkaufen gegangen ( oder waren wir einkaufen). Wir kauften die Miesmuschel ein.Wir haben mal die Miesmuschel in Brügge gegessen. Die ist lecker.Deshalb moechte ich auch selber kochen.

so ist es vielleicht besser ;)

Well, couldn't say if it's wrong or right ! :( i have still no answer for !! i'm still looking for the best answer ! anyway, but urs doesn't seem to last a longtime, how will u stay for a uknown time without friend`?!

i couldn't say if you'r right or wrong !
but isn't it that it's impossible to live or act alone !!! how would you continue to go forward !
isn't it that those so called bad friends would help you once in your difficulties !!!

i find it also correct what that u have said !!
but i couldn't say that others are  falsh !!

i think the best way to experience the need to have friends is to not to have them for a while !!!!!!!!! then u'll understand if what does mean to live without friends !!!
But this questions still remains for me if whe ought to consider family members or cloase relatives as friends !!! if yes , the experience fail, cause you would have the family with allways! 
try it once without family members, then it's very obvious the answer !
