    “Moshe Rabbeinu separated from his wife because …”

    Precisely my point.

    You looked at the reason WHY Moshe was separated.

    Here, you didn’t give anyone that consideration. You just painted with one broad stroke.

    My forecast is a storm of offended posters for my opinion, but I believe Hashem is angry at the east coast with good reason.

    There is much in Tanach that is said regarding legitimizing immoral behavior.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    It seems that this thread is focusing on lying for attention, not comparing its severity to other ?????, of which there are many.

    And lying for attention is wrong. So how does one handle another who engages in this type of behavior, in your opinion?

    So a therapist who is in a bad marriage, for example, would be more qualified to give advice than one who had the stamina and courage to leave if there were extenuating circumstances??

    I guess you wouldn’t take marriage advice from Moshe Rabbeinu since he was separated from his wife.

    “It’s not so bad to just lie for attention.”

    Yes, it is. ???? ??? ????. For the reasons listed above.

    Motzee Shaim Ra and Loshon Hora are also bad, but they do not discount the notion that so is lying.

    “dubious honor” refers to watching one’s own video. It would be embarrassing and unsettling. Not in regards to Hashem. After reading the original comment again, I still don’t see your point. Sorry.

    I remember learning the sources that you quote, but I do not recall them saying that our video is presented to our friends and family here. Having the video known up there is surely embarrassing enough.

    Where exactly do you see it? Pardon me for not finding it myself.

    What you are describing is a very common dilemma.

    You are already halfway there by being able to itemize your goals.

    Some suggestions:

    -write your goal in the positive form (e.g., I am on time rather than I won’t be late)

    -read your goals right before going to sleep & when you get up

    -set a time frame (e.g., I will finish my book report by such and such date)

    -keep your list & time frames realistic

    -reward yourself as you achieve your goals & pat yourself on the back!

    -divide a larger goal into smaller ones

    -have an accountability partner

    -expect ups and downs, but keep on going!

    -keep your list handy

    Kol hakavod for workin’ on it!

    Hatzlocha!

    It’s also helpful to use when encountering a thread’s blank last page:

    Just change the page number to the previous page number.

    /coffeeroom/topic/topic-name/3

    Do you know how long it will take to overtake the original one in number of posts (I know you enjoy competition!)?

    I initially only saw the original Hangman thread because a poster asked the mods which thread was the longest!

    But the idea of bypassing those error messages and extended wait time is very compelling 😉

    Pardon my ignorance, but where is your source that Hashem displays people’s shortcomings to their friends and family?

    Yes there is, but that only allows a sequential search. One page at a time. If you’ve only got 2 or 3 pages, not too bad.

    “I know I’m rambling here so I’ll stop now.”

    You are NOT rambling in the least. You are just putting yourself down again, which can lead to depression.

    You are feeling lonely and isolated. Where can you go to enjoy yourself and meet others? A shiur? A dance class?

    Please feel free to share with us in the CR your difficult day and what your students said. We enjoy hearing from you and sharing with you.

    You are not alone.

    I’m assuming the OP’s intent is how do we get these moderated posts up QUICKER so that this could more palatable?

    Perhaps a formal schedule of rotating moderators with more hours covered in real time?

    QUESTION

    Does anyone know why the ?? ???? ????? is even included, when it’s impossible to even have one with all the set conditions(Sanhedrin 71A)? Torah doesn’t include anything extra, yet this topic seems extraneous. The ????? ?????? doesn’t seem to justify the inclusion, so there must be a better answer.

    Thank you in advance.

    I do not accept that this behavior stems from the kipa sruga.

    Proof is that many black yarmulkes complain about the same treatment.

    Now HOW do we go about changing it? Or is the point of this thread just to vent negativities during Elul?
