Mistykins: Did you miss the earlier comment suggesting people stop having more children?
@mods- please let me apologize. I realized what was being said, and it was entirely my own fault. The page freezes and reloads every time I try and post a message, and I was likely trying to write you/ she had faith, but it doesn’t let me see what I type because of the delay. Those were my words and I didn’t mean to accuse you.
I assume you mean Huju’s comment about people living within their means? I didn’t take that to mean assassinate half their family. Perhaps not have them in the first place, or find cheaper ways to educate them. Look at Lakewood. Each person is paying 5+ tuitions to keep their kids in private school. If everyone put their kids in public schools, they’d have at least a 6:1 ratio- 20 frum students and 3-4 goyim. But they’re worried about outside influences!! If anything, the peer pressure to do as well as the other frum kids would override the other kids’ ideas. Let them learn basic math/ English for elementary school, and when we reach the point where the bad influences really start (middle school, age 10-11), then move them to a private school. That $20k/ year can go towards the wedding expenses that this thread is about, or towards basic needs.
That being said, I do love your sarcastic answers. Every time I i see you made a recent post, i have to read it.
Misty: The idea of sending tinokos shel beis rabban to public school if they’ll constitutes 6:1 majority against the Goyim is the most dangerous and ludicrous suggestion so far (with the notable exception of huju’s anti-Torah idea of stopping to have more children.)
Would you let your children eat food if the non poisonous portion of the food supply was 6:1? Or, better yet, would you send your children to a school where children from Neo-Nazi families were “only” 1 in 6 classmates?
To the original poster, Mr. CT Lawyer:
When my daughter got engaged a few years ago , my mechutan came to me and asked for a large sum of money for an apartment (which he also would contribute). A little background, the kids live in Israel, I live in North America, Mr. Mechutan lived in North America (although is not North American) and now lives in Israel. I am well aware that buying an apartment is an Israeli thing. ( I merely said, “Shlomie — I am sure that we will have a great relationship go forward and I know my daughter is very excited but this is not a conversation worth having because I cant/wont do that .” That was that. And, in fact, we do have a very nice relationship, he is a great person — and my daughter is very very happy (and her husband is a great person).
So I say to you — it may be chutzpah — but “so what.” Decline the invitation to pay — as you did — and go from on from there. Mazel Tov.
CTL-Please keep us updated if they take you up on your offer. We wish you and the new couple much mazel and brocha. Hopefully, they will have the marriage of their dreams if not the wedding of the dreams which should really last much longer.
OK, OK, I admit it. Joseph correctly recognized that I was proposing to assassinate people.
