    Most partnerships are doomed to failure when one partner takes to griping in online forums about the perceived faults of the other partner(s). Partners who respectfully address all things they feel important with the other members of the partnership will find that the partnership will either grow, or due to significant differences will dissolve the partnership.

    Now you sound like my husband.

    Agreed with the Goq. Women do the same thing. And as bad as it is when we realize it, it would be worse if they turned around and went back up the stairs calling “forget it” over their shoulder.

    Because the women will be insulted and embarressed if the guy takes a look, says “you’re ugly”, and walks out.

    That’s why.

    I don’t have any need to bicker about what you said or didn’t said. If you agree we should treat him as an apikores, that’s good enough for my purposes.

    For the approx 9th time, apikores is about how we treat them for various halachos; and not a question of “reality”.

    (This is an example of where you ignore responses to you and talk “around” them. I have used this while trolling very effectively.)

    The two contrarian activities are: (1) changing the position you are arguing, without acknowledging it, and (2) ignoring responses while pretending to respond.

    It affects whether I trust you.

    PAA, so I used to think you probably knew what you were talking about here regarding the metzius, and sources, etc.

    But then I read this thread http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/shmuly-yanklowitz-novominsker-and-oo-theology

    And decided you just like being contrarian.

    We should not consider ourselves able to call stupid what rishonim called stupid.

    Moreover, when the rishonim called it stupid, it had not been a minhag already for several hundreds of years. Which is why you may notice that no modern day ashkenazi posek calls it stupid, or suggests you can be meikel with it in any way.

    Charlie is stupid.

    The actual reality. For example whether H’ can have a corporeal manifestation or not. There is only one objective reality answer to that question. Either the Rambam is correct or those who believed otherwise are correct.

    Ah, but I’m more concerned with how I’m supposed to act. And the torah is lo b’shomayim.

    The title of apikores is not about making fun of them; its about knowing whether there is a mitzva to make fun of them, and if I can eat from their kashrus, etc.

    Sam, I think you can even go further.

    You can say they are choshud to be tofeis any other shittas yochid of questionable interpretation that has irregardless been rejected for thousands of years.

    So can you eat their kashrus? Of course not. Maybe they eat bsar of bchalav. (Which is far less radical)

    Can you drink their wine? Of course not. Maybe they are oveid avodah zarah with it in a way that they think is muttar.

    Can you marry into their families? Of course not, maybe they are miyabeim a tzaras habas.

    Well then you’ll have to explain what you mean.

    exactly what I said 4 times already. That it isn’t Judaism as it is practiced today and was practiced for thousands of years.

    So that even if he is not a heretic, he has nothing in common with Judaism.

    Which part of this thread are you not following?

    Just because generally MO are frum, does not mean that the ones in Pico-Robertson are. I don’t know the people in Pico-Robertson, and don’t know what the term MO means there.

    Ok, so odu li mihas that even if you personally don’t care whether there is kiddush Hashem or chillul Hashem in the world, that a person who does not believe in the geulah is not practicing Judaism

    To the contrary, it is a very good idea. Those who point to the UWS confuse cause and effect. The singles on the UWS would be single anywhere.

    Let me explain myself. I don’t particularly care what any person does in his service of the Lord. I don’t mean that I don’t care at all; obviously I would love for everyone to serve the Lord properly. But it doesn’t bother me one iota how an individual chooses to do so. That being said, if someone can defend there actions then he is deserving of respect that someone who cannot defend his actions is not deserving of. Regardless of whether the issue is whether he davens or whether he wears Techeiles. Techeiles happens to be a good example because probably most people who don’t wear techeiles don’t really know why they don’t; they kind of just follow the crowd so to speak.

    Sure, but your position starting off was a technical question of whether one is a apikores for denying that there will be a geulah.

    In which I note you’ve argued yourself into circles and quite forgotten what you’re argument is.

    Well, you aren’t big fat jerks anymore because I finished the first perek of yoma over yontiff, which means now I’m back on the regular schedule after you all tried to throw me off. I’m on rosh hashana 24.

    If he can cogently give halachic reasoning for why he doesn’t then I respect that.

    Oh, the halacha man are you. Don’t you think it is halacha that you are supposed to daven? See your previous post that you don’t care if he davens.

    You’ve quite frankly argued yourself into circles, probably because you forgot what your original position was.

    Forget the specific individual. A person who doesn’t believe in mashiach cannot daven a single tefillah without it being half stuff he doesn’t believe in.

    Like someone who believes Mohammed is a prophet, they may not be an apikores but they sure aren’t practicing Judaism.

    L’dvarecha, if a person beleives in most of Islam (if not all) he is also not an apikores, but odu li mihas that he isn’t practicing judaism.

    This dude can’t daven a single tefillah without saying things he doesn’t believe.

    I loved best where he goes totally unhinged and starts attributing things that never happen in kosher slaughterhouses (dragging in sick animals) to kosher meat.

    He obviously knows less about slaughtering than he does about Torah (meaning, he knows negative about slaughtering since not only does he not know what does happen, but he even thinks things happen which don’t, as opposed to Torah where he just doesn’t know anything).

    I also am bemused by the YCT model of having their poor innocent students reply to criticism instead of meeting it themselves. Because we’re supposed to feel sorry for the students. Well, I do feel sorry for the students, and I hope they are chozer b’tshuva soon, together with their teachers.

    He had suggested somewhat speeding up the davening and making it more interesting like more singing.

    Singing, talking, what’s the difference?

    In other words it depends here what your goal is. If you just want people not to talk, then sure, make davening so fast they don’t have time to talk and sing so much they can’t hear themselves talk.

    But if the point is that people should daven, then…

    I get why you might want a and c, but are you really ready to insist on b?

    Also, kby is not small.
