Mr. Doniel -“And, there have been bipolar people to go off their meds, murder their children, rape their wives, deplete bank accounts, etc. Caution is most needed.”
Yes, there are people who are Bipolar and Psychotic, but most Psychotics that I know in the Frum community were never diagnosed with anything. As a matter of fact they had good reputations before they got married and after their marriage is when they started doing bad things to others, including their wives.
I think you’re biased against Mentally Ill people. The reality is the chance that those things you mentioned above occuring, esp. s/o under care is extremely small.
Perhaps this is about your jealousy and your ego -trying to show the world and this girl -that you’re much better than this guy and that she lost out?
One last point to prove my theory -why did your friends/Rabbis even tell you about this guy in the first place? There was absolutely No Toieles to tell you. If for some reason they had a good intention, they would have contacted her family directly. If they didn’t know how to, they could have just asked you how to contact them without giving you the reason why they had to!
saritasasson –
TY for your post. Post more often. Your words were like a breath of fresh air around here.
farrocks -“You’re a funny camper, Health. You incorrectly insinuate I got my information from the “liberal media” and then you immediately go on to attempt to disprove my point…
May I humbly suggest that you change your reading habits to the American Thinker rather than the Puffington Post?”
The fact that you got this Antisemitic trash from some conservatives in the US doesn’t make it true. I have to sadly admit, even though I’m a conservative, that there are Antisemites on both sides of the political spectrum.
“by quoting a Conservative so-called “rabbi” writing on the most liberal website around.”
If you would have taken the time to read the article before defending yourself -you would have seen his religious association is irrevelant. He is a Rabbi who has thousands of Iranian Jews in his Shul and it bothered him that some liberal Jew wrote the
lie(s) you posted above in the NY Times. He had an interview with this Jew and stated what I posted above.
So the fact that Conservative rags and the NY Times both published this garbage -doesn’t make it in this bit true. Just because you got it from some conservative rag -doesn’t mean you should believe everything you read.
It’s no Chidush to me that when it comes to antisemitism that both the libs and Some conservatives are on the same page.
Wake up & smell the coffee!
ZK -“I don’t have any numbers or statistics, but I’m told it was a COMPLETE assimilation.”
This is absolute nonsense. I really don’t have a problem with the rest of the post. While assimilation was high, you can’t call it complete. There were Yeshivos in the US before WWII and produced many Bnei Torah, who raised families Al Pi Torah.
Where did you pick up this nonsense from?
rebdoniel –
The more you post -the more you give yourself away.
First you say -“From what I’ve been told, people with this illness can often impulsively do things that involve no longer taking medications, violence, risky spending, etc.”
This is true mostly on people not under care, but then you admit-
“I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want my daughter getting involved with a guy on Lamictal with Bipolar I” – so the guy is under care.
And I did a search for Lamictal on the web and it is a very effective drug for Bipolar.
So it looks more & more that you just want to break your ex’s engagement and I don’t even know you.
If a pt. is under mental & medical care for mental illness they can lead relatively normal lives. So again what are you warning them about? Is there any Toieles with your warning?
“I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want my daughter getting involved with a guy on Lamictal with Bipolar I”
Why not? Are you bias against people with mental illness?
Did you ever hear of Pennina and Chana?
Syag Lchochma – “Health problems that would make them legally liable? This isn’t about health issues. This is about people emptying their closets and storage bins into a truck and calling it helpful.”
What I was trying to explain was the other side. The orgs. CANNOT accept used items because they could be infested. Passing on infested goods would make the Orgs. liable for the infestation.
“btw – New Jersey isn’t as far from NY as it may seem.”
Really? I didn’t know that….
I was saying – I didn’t grow up in the NY/NJ area.
real-brisker -“Health – So your admit to being a hypocrite.”
No, I don’t see anything that I wrote even remotely similar to hypocrisy.
Since you’re online, please go to Merriam -Webster’s website and look up the words -“standards, qualifications & hypocrite”.
I don’t think you have a real grasp of the definitions of these words.
farrocks -“Despite whatever propaganda you may have been subject to, the Jews living in Iran are not mistreated anymore than the Jews living in Mexico or wherever.”
Actually you’re the one spouting propaganda, but I assume you have been mislead by either the NK or the liberal media. They have been much worse off.
RB – “Health – Only you can answer for BPM. But 2scents cant answer for me? That’s not fair!”
I did answer for you also. Here’s my quote from above:
“Or simply because he has a big mouth.”
real-brisker -“Health – What is not true about qualifications? Please elaborate.”
What don’t you understand? I asked you on the page before -what qualifications do you need besides being an EMT?
Gefen -“But just as the person I quoted – I also feel ppl should be able to choose what they will take or not.”
You can feel what you want, but you’re Wrong. These orgs. can’t put themselves out on a limb to accept used things because of health problems which would make them legally liable.
“And again – it was presented to us in a negative way when we brought the goods for collection. It sounded as though the New Yorkers were being very haughty.”
They don’t have to explain to e/o that used stuff can be infested because then people like you would open their mouthes. So they just say -“We don’t accept used goods.”
And btw, I’m the furthest thing from a New Yorker, even though I live in Lakewood, a suburb.
gefen -“EXACTLY!!!! Thank you for understanding it the way I do. I was beginning to think I’m crazy”
You’re not crazy, just extremely haughty. I explained to you in my post above why they can’t take used items.
Did you even read it or you just didn’t understand it?
nishtdayngesheft -“Oldman, “The question is what should someone do in a case where they are aware of such information, not specifically an ex.”
He understood the question and responded properly. How many guys do I know from BMG that still aren’t married? Quite a few. Why? Because s/o saw a Chessoron and gave the guy a bad reputation.
Wake up world – noone is perfect – e/o has Chessoronos and they have the right to get married anyway. So we have people who were killed due to s/o Bashmutzing them. Acc. to Halacha when seeking info about a Shidduch you have to ask direct info from people who know the guy/gal personally. You’re not allowed to ask people in general. Because what happens often enough -you get a response of -“I heard so and so – is this”. Most of the time it isn’t true, but even if it is, it’s not usually the full picture. Remember you are playing with fire. Peoples’ lives are in your hands.
And I really pity those guys/gals who destroyed others from getting married. Who knows if they can even get into Olam Haboh, even if they are guys who learn all day.
rebdoniel -“This information was relayed to me by mutual acquaintances of myself and this guy, including a rov of his, who said everything in quotes.”
I agree with JM -then it’s this Rov’s job to make sure they know all the info. He should call the parents, but I’m sure they know the info already.
WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?
So I really don’t believe you when you say -you mean only L’shem Shomayim. Let your dreams go -find someone else.
HaLeiVi -“We hope he will get married, but not by hiding it.”
You’re lucky you don’t know the person’s name because if you did you were just Oiver LH and perhaps Motzay Shem Ra!
You just assumed the man was hiding some info -who says? The OP never claimed the the Kallah didn’t know, just asked if he should get involved. Unless he spoke to the Kallah -he has no way of knowing what she knows. And he said -he didn’t speak to her.
“If you know someone with such a problem please do not keep it a secret (from the appropriate parties). You rightfully feel sorry for him, but tying up an unsuspecting person and shattering her dreams and life, is not a better option. Let’s Daven that he should find his Bashert and have a full Yeshua.
I won’t judge his parents. They are desperate, and are blinded by their worry for their child. However, I don’t know how such people face their children-in-law, their victims.”
Again this is your projection. This is only correct if you know that they don’t know, eg. you’re the Shadchan. This Krum way of thinking probably has caused many people to Not get married. Did it ever occur to you perhaps people are willing to overlook certain things? Sometimes they are willing to overlook these things if they aren’t public knowledge. So let’s say the Kallah doesn’t mind marrying a guy with Bipolar, but she thinks that it’s hush-hush, but then every Tom, Dick and Harry are calling her and her family up saying -“Did you know that the Chosson has Bipolar” (Or any Chessron)?
I can see many a Kallah getting embarrassed and calling it off.
These people who did this just committed Rezicha -all in name of Shomayim!
longarekel -“Give it to Iran. They would get rid of zionism but allow jews to practice their religion, as they do now in Iran. Democracy is a bigger enemy of religious judaism than Islam is.”
Giving it to Iran would be much worse than to Turkey. Iran practices a very strict interpretation of Islam which includes keeping the Jews in a very bad situation. Just because your NK friends visit there doesn’t mean they have any love towards them. Turkey, even though they practice Islam, is basically a secular country.
Yenta -“so it turned out OK.”
So where’s my portion?
real-brisker -Now that’s Brisk, Baby!
Why do you call yourself a Brisker? What Shaichous do you have to Brisk?
“They dont just take every shmoger.”
You’re right, just some.
“Health – You need to be someone that will fit their standards.”
First you said qualifications, now you say standards.
What are these standards? Perhaps they are that you have to be part of their clic.
2scents -“Health, Please be kind enough to point out where he was lying.”
Simply because he said additional QUALIFICATIONS. This is not true in the slightest.
“I will try to answer as to why he is defending them, since they are an organization with the objective of serving the community and the individual in a time of need. so when some poster decides to ridicule the organization with a bunch of non sense, he stands up against that poster.
or, maybe he or someone he knows was on the receiving end of the organization and saw first hand how they operate, therefore he found it his business to stand up against them.”
Or simply because he has a big mouth. Why are you answering for him? If any of the things you mentioned were true -he would have said so.
Also, why are you calling it nonsense -many people stated that the law is being broken, but you still call this nonsense?
“Now I will ask you the question you asked him, why are you standing up AGAINST Hatzoloh?”
My response would never make it through moderation.
2scents -“I do not think that this is true.
The more people you know, the less chances is that they will accept you, they dont like it when people get in because they are a macher, since its a threat to their authority and discipline.”
You seem like a nice fellow so I’ll explain it nicely.
I actually didn’t use the word Macher -I said you need connections to the group.
gefen -There is actually an article about how the Goyishe relief orgs. are having a big problem with the wrong stuff being donated. People only want unopened goods. Not only that, they don’t need vases or lamps. Maybe not you, but some think that this is a good opportunity to clean house.
The best donation is cash. The victims can use it for what they really need. After that unopened or brand new goods, such as food, water and clothing, even generators. Everything else donate to those boxes in the supermarket parking lots or sell to those companies like “cash for goods” or some Israeli Tzedakas take this stuff. Even if they don’t have an overabudance of stuff, some orgs. will never take used, even slightly used. It’s a legal problem along with a health problem because you might be giving infested goods. Infestation with lice, bed bugs, etc. is very common even amongst Frum people.
Btw, even if you dump stuff they need to these orgs., like I just mentioned, it costs the org. between $15 -$25 to get it to the victims -so the orgs. need money donations.
rebdoniel -“I found out that my ex-fiance left me for another guy. However, I found out through several people the following about the guy:
He comes from a broken home, with mental illness and divorce, and he himself has Bipolar I disorder. From what I’ve been told, people with this illness can often impulsively do things that involve no longer taking medications, violence, risky spending, etc.”
A lot about this post bothers me:
How did you come about this info? Did s/o offer it to you or did you go out to find stuff about him?
If it’s the latter -you went out of your way to hear and perhaps speak LH.
Second of all, you want to go now and tell it over to your ex, even if indirectly. I doubt this would be called Toieles because it’s very unlikely she will accept it from you. Even if you have s/o inbetween -they will have to say the source of the info.
Third of all, what makes you so sure she doesn’t know this already? Perhaps it’s your projection of “I’m a thousand times better than this guy”.
And finally, I don’t know if these things are even Chessronos.
Divorced parents are not usually a real problem. Bipolar people can live normal lives if they are under a Doc’s care and take their meds. So since you aren’t in the know exactly whether he is under care or not -how about Danning him Lecaf Zecus?
Unfortunately, your whole post smells of jealousy, revenge and/or wishful thinking. I would tread very carefully even if a Rov told you to go foward, which I really highly doubt would ever happen.
1. Paying the Social Security tax will become a thing of the past because it will soon go bankrupt. Even the Dems won’t be able to make you pay into a Gov. entity that doesn’t exist.
iced -“They should negotiate a compromise where they have one country for all people of all religions, perhaps called Israstine, that is a democracy where every Jew and gentile each get one vote.”
The only problem with this is that the Arabs have the majority. This means they will run the Gov. They will take advantage and do their best to implement laws against Jews, perhaps even a final solution like they did in Germany. They were always Antisemites, but since the advent of the Medina, they have become much more so.
You can give it to Turkey; their hatred is only very recent and would be appeased with a nice present of the whole of Palestine.
real-brisker -“BPM – BTW, I am not part of hatzolah. Nor do I have any affiliation with them.”
So why are you defending them? And even more so – Why are you lying in their defense? Here is the outright lie:
“BPM – You need more qualifications to get accepted to hatzolah than just passing a the EMT test.”
What more qualifications do you need?
If you would have wrote – you need more that being an EMT to join -this is probably true. You need connections and/or to be part of their clic to join.
2scents -“Empty criticism such as “you will be shocked when you know what really goes on”, or “I know the truth”. is not real criticism and does not deserve any response.”
1. So why did you respond?
2. It actually wasn’t criticism to the public at large – I actually was talking to s/o here – namely BPM.
“Saudi Arabia was never part of the Ottoman Empire.”
I made a mistake here. What I should have written was Saudi Arabia was an area which had independent rule before the Ottomans came in. So it made sense for the League of Nations to give this to the Arabs. The rest of the Empire, except Egypt could have gone to anyone.
From Wikipedia:
“However, from the 10th century (and, in fact, until the 20th century) the Hashemite Sharifs of Mecca maintained a state in the most developed part of the region, the Hejaz. Their domain originally comprised only the holy cities of Mecca and Medina but in the 13th century it was extended to include the rest of the Hejaz. Although, the Sharifs exercised at most times independent authority in the Hejaz, they were usually subject to the suzerainty of one of the major Islamic empires of the time. In the Middle Ages, these included the Abbasids of Baghdad, and the Fatimids, Ayyubids and Mamluks of Egypt.[7]
Beginning with Selim I’s acquisition of Medina and Mecca in 1517, the Ottomans, in the 16th century, added to their Empire the Hejaz and Asir regions along the Red Sea and the Al Hasa region on the Persian Gulf coast, these being the most populous parts of what was to become Saudi Arabia. They also laid claim to the interior, although this remained a rather nominal suzerainty…”
akuperma -“Balfour never promised an independent state.”
Well this is controvesial. Some say that’s exactly what the Balfour declaration did promise.
Here is the declaration: “His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
“At most, contemporaries thought it might involve a self-governing entity similar to what Canada or Australia were at the time”
Even if you’re correct, Britain still renegaded on even doing this. So they still double-crossed the Jews.
real-brisker -“Health, TLKY, BPM – All you, sound like your trying to take revenge on your rejection to hatzolah.”
Maybe the posts sound like revenge, but who says it’s because of rejection? Try again – not even close.
Yenta -“my family decided to try stove top cholent instead of in a crockpot and I (I make the cholent) have some questions about it
when should the cholent be put up?”
ASAP
“should the beans cook a bit before adding the meat?”
The beans should soak overnite in a bowl, but it’s too late for that -so put it all up now. You can start cooking the meat separately in different pots, if you want.
“is more water needed and if so how much more?”
Water -right now you can put in a lot. Right before Shabbos make sure the water is about equal to the top of the food.
“how high should the flame be on under the blech?”
Cook it on high right now. Right before Shabbos adjust the flame to low – medium – then put on the Blech. The exact height -you’ll have to experiment with.
For payment -I want some Chulent -if it’s edible. 🙂
akuperma -“#1- The British claim on Palestine was very weak.”
Sorry they have no claim. See my other post.
“It was never even officially annexed to the British Empire (it was a League of Nations mandate, on whose behalf the British administered it). The British had promised Palestine (along with what is now Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabic and Jordan) to the Arabs as a large Arab state under the family of the current ruler of Jordan (whose ancestor was quite willing to have Jewish immigration into this large country), but the Brits double-crossed the Arabs. Had the Brits not broken their deal with the Arabs, The Arabic world east of Suez would be one large country, led by the moderate dynasty now ruling Jordan, with a very large autonomous Jewish population (perhaps extremely large since Hitler would be remembered for the “expulsion” of European Jews).”
I’m surprised that you don’t know history. First of all, it wasn’t supposed to be all one country. Saudi Arabia was never part of the Ottoman Empire. The rest was. The only one Britain double crossed was the Jews. They were supposed to implement the Balfour Declaration and didn’t. The reason why they didn’t because the Palestinian Arabs and other Arabs didn’t agree to it. So they never gave the Jews a land. The Jews took it after the English left. But they gave all the rest of the countries to different Arab rulers -trying to make all the different factions happy.
goldersgreener -“B) before the present state was established Eretz Yisroel was in brittish hands, and therefore if it is given back to anyone, it should surely go back to the brittish.”
It should go back to Turkey, not England.
Number 1: Britain ran out of Palestine, so they gave up any control of the land.
2. Britain caused most of the antisemitism that occurs now in the Middle East, even more than the Zionists.
Learn some History before you post.
2scents -“however it seems that you have an agenda here.”
Everyone has agendas. Yours is this relentless defense of all the critical posts here. Mine is the truth.
“As you have admitted that you do not really know whats going on, however you keep on stating that this is the “tip of the iceberg” and worse then your “wildest Dreams”.”
Well to the extent of that I don’t know what goes on 24/7, but I know a lot more than you.
“Please get a life.”
I do have somewhat of a life – do you?
Borough Park Mensch -“Pending your clarification, I disagree with this sentiment. No one is above criticism, not me, not you, not even the President of the United States. And if this bizarre notion is the policy of any VAS, I am shocked.”
Don’t be so shocked. Like I posted before -this is the tip of the iceberg. I doubt you could guess, even in your wildest dreams, the rest of it.
farrocks -“Romney was never the conservatives choice.”
And that’s exactly my point. If the Repubs want to get into the oval office again – they have to put up a conservative.
They have to fight dirty. No more nice guys like Romney and McCain.
Whiteberry -“So, go ahead speculate.”
Something that makes sense is more than speculation.
“Please do not project your shortcomings on the rest of the general public. That is for the leaders of the community.”
Are you saying that the leaders know for sure the cause of the hurricaine? And if there are those in our generation that do -let them come out and tell us the reason.
To all – Read my posts on the previous page and this one and you’ll see that I was right. No, I don’t have Nevuah (even though some people here think I’m a Shoita) and I don’t have Ruach Hakodesh, but I do have common sense, which obviously isn’t too common. (Chochom Odif M’novi.)
This isn’t to brag, but to show how to think. I admit that I was having wishful thinking in the last few months, but deep down I knew Romney couldn’t win.
My wishful thinking never brought me to call Romney as the probable winner like the conservatives did, both Jewish and Goyishe.
So why did these Cons/Repubs think this way? Simply because in order to think clearly you have to take away all Negious. The Cons/Repubs wanted so much to get rid of Obama that when the polls were showing it to be close -they let their Negious take over their thinking and called it for Romney.
HaLeiVi -TY. At least there are some who can see things clearly.
musser zoger -“Health, Not a toayva Senator. Tammy Baldwin is female not a toayva.”
I don’t get your point. Do you think that I don’t know more than a kid in school? Every kid knows that Miskave Zochorniks are the Chaivey Kreisus, not the females who do this. Yes, she is a Toeiva because she will legislate for their agenda, not just the female agenda, but also the male agenda.
Borough Park Mensch – All I can tell you is that your points are just the tip of the iceberg.
We even now have the first openly Toeiva Senator. It’s not a coincidence that the election came between Sandy and a Nor’easter.
MorahRach -“Just wait and see, Obama’s immigration policy is going to ruin this country, he will probably take down the border fences and I am not kidding.”
Wake up and smell the coffee. This has happenned long ago. The problem is the Libs control the media and the Gov. The media looked and found one case of fraud with a broken machine that the vote went to Romney. Noone pays atention to the Dems side. The Dems have long been using dead voters for themselves, but now they have the Hispanic vote. All the experts say Hispanics will be the majority group here in 2045. Even right now they are a big voting block. It’s not a coincidence that the Pres. decided not to deport any illegal Hispanics under 30 yo. They obviously got them to vote for Obama.
“But how could they vote they’re illegal?” The same way I see that they get Driver licenses, own vehicles registered in the US, get every social program, and send their kids to public school, even though they aren’t citizens. The US has been a third world country since Clinton was Pres.
4 more Yors. Get ready to pay either a fine if you can’t afford medical care or extreme high insurances fees for much less medical care. It will be like China where they have medical/dental clinics that are much cheaper than the other medical care, but you don’t need to be licensed to work in these clinics. Also, No more round the clock medicine. 9-5 unless it’s a life threating emergency.
dolphina -“Coming from the perspective that people in glass houses should not throw stones – Without debating the reason for any individual event – anyone who feels that any event that happens is due to behavioral shortcomings, should very carefully and very deeply do a self-analysis and address his/her own issues. I do not believe that telling other people how to behave is at all effective, although it is significantly more fun than changing one’s own behavior.”
Yes, we all have to work on ourselves, but sometimes we don’t realize what we are doing is wrong. For example, a lot of people went to vote for Corzine in NJ, but the Gedolim in EY said they should vote for Christie because he is Anti-Toeiva. Some people don’t realize voting for a candidate who is pro-Toeiva is a bad thing.
Mods -My post above please.
Vicroy – While your post makes sense, I’d like to discuss another aspect of woman’s lib since you mentioned the subject.
Where did the Yetzer Hora of Woman’s lib become stronger than self-preservation? While there are definitely women who you can characterize as Amazon women, most aren’t like this. But modern society has decided that they can function equally as men in such professions that people depend on for their life. For example, they have women police and firefighters. Most of these women in these types of professions aren’t Amazon women. So just for our society to be PC we are willing to put our lives in danger. Sometimes to save s/o’s life you just need brute strength, intelligence just isn’t enough!
The little I know -“Unless somone possesses Ruach Hakodesh, they have no right to tell us what caused the Holocaust, Hurricane Sandy, or any other disaster. They are free to instruct Klal Yisroel or any individual with guidance on what to be mesaken. The Ben Ish Chai spoke in general, as is found in Shas many times (for example in Pirkei Avos (5:10)) that certain types of tragedies happen as punishment for certain categories of aveiros. However, cheshbonos for specific events are complex beyond the comprehension of mortal humanity. Anyone who tells me the precise cause for Sandy is either a kofer, a ball gaava, or a plain idiot.”
While your post is accurate, myself and others who have given reasons are saying that it’s a good possibility, not that we know 100%. So the guidance me and others are giving to be Mesaken is that No Frum Jew should vote for any candidate who supports or has voted for the Toeiva agenda! To put your head in the sand and not trying to look at some possibilities over others is missing the message that Hashem sent. The Gedolim did this with the Holocaust, with many blaming the Reform movement and lack of Shmiras Shabbos. Some blamed the Zionist movement. So there are some things that have to be corrected first, even though we don’t know 100% that these were the cause(s).
avhaben -“Would becoming wealthy usually make a person happier than if they hadn’t become wealthy?”
I dunno. Get me some and I’ll let you know!
chasuvayid -“it is clearly a sign to make aliyah as Americans are getting to comfortable and thinking that queens and seagate are the new Jerusalem.”
While you’re right about Jews living in Golus in luxury, there’s one thing you forgot. EY is also Golus and you shouldn’t live in luxury there also. And yet every ad I see for Diras in EY state -eg. “Luxury Apts. for Sale in the Heart of Yerushalyim”.
So about practicing what you preach? There are people living in Moisros everywhere, even in EY.
PuhLease -“This topic disgusts me..”
This could be, but why is my post the whole topic?
“@Health you stated to Dolphina that “I got news for you, it’s not Frum people’s job to make everybody Frum, but it is their job to speak the truth.”
I don’t know one single person in this world, frum or otherwise who always speaks the truth. It is absolutely not a frum person’s job to speak the truth. It is a frum person’s job to serve their creator. How that person chooses to do that is between that person, and his/her creator.
Come Yom Kippur, every individual is required to ask mechilah from those that they may have wronged, on the internet, in public, in private, or anywhere else before we can ask mechilah from the one above. There is a reason for that, and is is not ok to go around bashing others, and being all self righteous, judgemental. And yes, for those of you that want to tell me that I am being condescending (you’re entitled to your opinion, and I’m certainly not going to take that away from you, since I most definitely have my opinions of you, that may be, but what these threads do are WRONG.
There is NO VALUE to them. NONE.
All they do is breed hate, prejudice, distaste, dislike, disgust, and intolerance for one another.
These threads are NOT a replacement for a rav. They are not replacements for friends. They are not replacements for a therapist! All these threads do is BREED HATRED. No Wonder Mochiach hasn’t come yet! He’s reading these threads and saying “I don’t want to be down there!””
I’m not sure if your attack is just on me or on the whole topic.
Anyway I’ll defend my post. I already explained what I meant by truth is Not s/o’s personal opinion here, but when s/o quotes Torah. If anybody has a problem with what it says in the Torah, I for one, am not going to be apologetic. If they have problems with anything that our Torah teaches, they should be embarrassed & demeaned. If the Torah is not so clear cut and there are Machlokeses -this is not what I’m talking about. Our Halacha is quite clear in most instances. It is these people who have to worried about Yom Kippur, not those who denigrade people who flaunt Halacha.
