SO funny you should mention this. THe Rov of my shul recently urged people to take a look and make an attempt.
P-CSEASMemberBP Totty: It’s just my new (religious) name. Pinchas Chaim Shyankel Edwin Avi Shmergis…(but seriously, it’s just nonsense)
My main concern is the fact that since it has become so normal for me to act a certain way, think a certain way, and sometimes deal with other people a certain way, when you start learning about Judaism and how things are halachically assur, the mindset is still weak… And mindset is not that easy to change.
One of my Rebbeim told me that he was watching a National Geographic (don’t freak out, i’m not trying to be extreme) video with his son, and being the gentle person he was, he couldnt watch the Lion devour the gazelle (or whatever…) now obviously on a much different level, just to be able to turn my head in disgust from ads, speech, the like… is something to strive for
P-CSEASMemberI’m not even talking exclusively about Four-Letter words… As someone who recently became a Ba’al Teshuva, i never even saw a problem of hanging out, having relationships or even conversing with girls i wasn’t married to. Now that i’m frum, and not married, i can’t seem to shake those previous interactions i had. (four letter words always felt wrong, and weren’t something i had trouble with)
