Oh. And for 2000 years the Xtians just critisized (sic. sick!) the extreme and twisted views (in their opinion) of some people (of a certain religion) on other types of things.
mdd, you should be suspended from your job for anti-Chassidic speech. (Of course you’ll be suspended from gan eden after 120 for sinas chinam.)
Such a beautiful thread with mostly serious, intelligent and helpful comments. MyTake, your little speech to yourself and your future husband sent chills down my spine. Teachers should share your idea with their students. You were makriv a real korban to Hashem. What a zechus. Same goes for DRB and others. Hashem sees our daily struggles and will reward us immeasurably.
P.S. Mods, I appreciate your work behind the scenes to keep this thread on such a high level. Kol hakavod, the zechus is yours too.
Thanks so much!!!
“I was once on the bus to Wlmsbg, and an older girl got up for me…”
Same happened to me. I was just married, looking young and fresh, but pregnant and weak inside. And I thought if I had to stand the entire way I’ll just die. What a thoughtful girl.
May I hijack this thread for a while? Word 2007 has few keyboard shortcuts and the mouse is killing my hand with CTS. Can I MAKE keyboard shortcuts? If so, how? Thanks a lot.
Tell your story to the rav of that shul before you go back. Perhaps he can talk about derech eretz sometime, or even ask the mispallelim right before megillah leining to look around and offer their seats to those who seem to need it more.
ConcernedMember: His Rav said not to invite the man on Shabbos. He’s now asking whether he should invite him during the week instead, or have him talk to others.
How is this disrespecting his Rav? He clearly took the Rav’s advice to heart and is looking for an alternative means of helping the person.
doctormdmd: several of the responders TOTALLY misunderstood what i wrote.
EXACTLY. Which is why I hardly ever post here. The reading miscomprehension is unbelievable.
SJS: Your numbers don’t apply to us. Men without Torah are animals (some good, some bad). My stats are probably also different for Torah Jews, but “difficult” is a subjective term, as TBT pointed out. Difficult Torah Jews would mostly be IMO stubborn, domineering, demanding, etc., not intentionally mean or abusive. Even the real abusers don’t kill their wives. ???? ???????? ?? ??????!
TBT: In my experience, most men mainly try to get the better deal, while most women mainly try to get along. If you consider “taking lots of time to get ready” as being difficult, well, you’re entitled to your *** opinion. Now for being moody: what do most women do when they’re moody, and what do most men do when they’re moody? (Of course you’re entitled to think crying and krechtzing is as bad as yelling and blaming, or even worse, but I think most people would disagree.) I’m not talking about those 16% of witches. For them there is no Torah but their own (no matter how frum they look and sound) and no real cure. They should be left to die as spinsters.
TBT: No idea. But the stats make sense. Ask anyone who deals with many people of both genders.
600kilobear: It’s Aramaic. ???? ???? *????* ???
I read these stats in a Psychology book: About 57% of men are considered to be difficult people (or was it 75%? I hope not), as well as about 16% of women. But these 16% are HORRIBLE, much worse than the difficult men. Och un vey to the man who marries one of them. Men, if you find yourself married to an abuser, run for your life before the kids start coming.
OTOH most women have to put up with difficult husbands… that’s life.
I was thinking along somewhat different lines, more like a partnership. I feel uncomfortable discussing the details in “public”. If you’re interested, please ask the mods for my email.
Eclipse, before you go: I think you mentioned once that you’re a writer. Have you had anything published? I have a great idea for a book, on a subject that you seem to grasp very well, but I don’t have the time to write it. Perhaps this could be a joint effort. If you’re interested, the mods have my permission to send you my e-mail address. Hatzlacha in whatever you do.
Thanks, eclipse. Here’s another one, dedicated to the CR posters:
Let me put in my two cents
I learned from you ladies and gents:
The grass is not greener
Nor the laundry cleaner
On the other side of the old fence
“I see it’s mostly chassidim…”
You mean ????? ????? ?????.
Kol hakavod, mod 80. I wish you would do this with some hashkafic posts.
RB, you’re making a CH right here in the CR. The poor guy didn’t exactly force you to tip, or even ask you outright for it. He merely hinted to it (or perhaps he needed help with his math?). If he came to your door shnorring for ???? would you be happier?
How can you tell? And how can I tell if you’re not him? Your screen-name doeth protest too much!
When Coffee Room posters don’t click
And I get kind of tired and sick
I run helter-skelter
Looking for shelter
In this lovely thread, with a limerick!
Is TMB Joseph?
Depends who the perp is. Left-wing posters have a different din in the CR than right-wingers.
“You gotta give credit to Pres. Obama that he hasn’t used the Race Card.”
He doesn’t have to. He has half the country doing it for him.
“I think it’s bad to demonize goyim…”
It’s even worse to demonize yidden.
“No offense was meant…”
Well, what WAS meant? Perhaps the DEFENSE of frum yidden?
Thanks, SC. I should edit the last one: TRY to turn the CR into a ???? ????. Geferlicheyid did not succeed B”H.
Top 10 Sure-Fire Ways to Make You Feel Ehrlicher:
1. Screen-name yourself Ehrlicheyid.
2. Think negatively about those who are frummer than you.
3. Make fun of them.
4. Look down on them and whine that they look down on you.
5. If you have nothing to say, start a thread about them.
6. If you have no sense of humor, just think of anything a meshugener would do and imagine a frummie doing it.
7. Constantly think of your tzidkus, especially your ????? ??? to keep far, far away from a chumra.
8. Denigrate ????? ????? whose followers are frummer than you.
9. Repeat 10 times a day the ???? ????? of ???? that were inscribed in the luchos: ???? ?????, ??????? ?????.
10. Turn the CR into a ???? ????.
A midwife in a hospital is the best of both worlds.
Right now. Give them some nachas! Just ask them to keep it confidential.
Epilogue:
And the beggar voted for the democrat. Early and often.
Wow, something has changed in the CR. Way to go, guys. Get rid of the leitzim. Let them go to one of the so-called “Orthodox” frum-bashing sites (I’m sure there are plenty around) and keep our discussions intelligent and informative.
Yichus obligates us even more to ask ourselves ??? ???? ???? ????? ?????.
There’s an excellent rebuttal to the NYT BS on American Thinker.
“…melting glacial masses as a consequence of Global Warming may mean increasing high tides and flooding for coastal cities worldwide in the not-so distant future.”
Which is why Al Gornisht recently bought 2 expensive beachfront properties.
Fabie, you’re confusing shalom bayis problems with abuse.
What about abusive wives and mothers, usually those with Borderline Personality Disorder? I suspect it’s MORE prevalant among frum Jews than abusive husbands. These are the sweet women who are the nicest friends, neighbors and relatives and the nastiest “momsters” at home. They usually show all 10 symptoms above, but since they’re female, they’re to be pitied, “understood” and pampered. Their husbands, usually softies, are made to feel like garbage no matter how successful, and being among men, they don’t have the outside support abused women do. If you recognize yourself here, read “Stop Walking On Eggshells”.
First vote. I got one. Anyone else?
Best bubby, I’m speechless! Wow!!!
Without going into too many identifying details, it includes a tichel. I do splurge, like most chassidish women, on beautiful silk tichels in eidel but flattering colors like soft pinks and blues.
???? ????? ???? ?’ ???? ???
note: crayons can be treif.
I’ve had litvishe ladies come up to me and compliment me on my “beautiful” head-covering. I’m floored every time.
It’s them liberals, man. Women, blacks, Muslims can do no wrong.
Bobchka, I know a couple who does this. Works great.
I got a computer at home so now I don’t have to go in to work in order to waste my day in the CR.
In Karlin?
I do. LedOL, in fact.
1. Kosher entertainment, stimulating when participating, relaxing when just reading.
2. Observing how people’s minds work.
3. Finding again and again that the grass is (surprise!) NOT greener on the other side.
