gefen:
1) so texting is the cause of divorce. hmmm. interesting.(yes- sarcasm intended)
i did not say it is the primary, or even significant cause. What i said is that it hardly helps in an age where there is already a marked decrease in people’s social and interpersonal skills, as evidenced by, among other things, the rising divorce rate, to have yet another thing that will erode further these vital skills. How much of an effect this has i do not know. I do know, however, what a very successful rabbi/marriage counselor told me, that he held it did make a tangible affect.
2) from reading your posts here and on other threads, it seems you think very highly of yourself and think no one else is entitled to their opinions because they are of course WRONG.
1- i think so highly of myself that i do not formulate opinions of my own; rather, i let daas Torah – my rebbeim and the real, recognized Gedolim, decide for me what is right and what is not. People who make up their own opinions about anything related to Torah tend to be wrong bec they are not daas Torah.
2- Why is Torah matters any different than quantum physics? Surely if someone posted his “opinion” about the quantum fluctuation of naked singularities, you would agree that his opinion is irrelevant and meaningless! There is even a story about marcus jastrow’s grandson who was an astropysycist with less than favorable views of religion. At some affair, he got up and said that while he doesn’t know much about religion, it can be summed up in a few words, and they weren’t particularly flattering. There was a rabbi there, i forgot who, who got up after him and rebuuted that while he doesn’t know much about astropysics, it can be summed up in “twinkle twinkle little star, how i wonder wht you are”.
3)you like stirring things up. a) either you’re just having fun, in which case I say, GET A LIFE. or b) you truly feel the way i described you in #2, in which case, i kind of pity you
you are definitely entitled to an opinion about me. However, i beg to disagree with your conclusion in “b)”, bec i am very happy being subservient to daas Torah guidance; what i stray from thereof is b’shogeg, i am far from perfect.
