    And MIchael Jackson quickly hid the chicken crates in his pocket and got arrested for just being who he is

    Michael Jackson came back and collected his diamonds, and then he offered you to be your assistant.

    We don’t moiser yidden, I guess, in extreme cases ask a shayloh.

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660567

    Btw Reb Elchonon Wasseerman in Kovetz Shiurim Chelek 2 klers a shayla if it’s mutor to learn limudei chol lishmoh, for the geshmak of the limud., I think he came out it was ossur, unless if it was for parnossoh

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #660027

    I took the backpack of diamonds and smacked a passerby with it. He called the police on me

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #660023

    He threw me a backpack full of diamonds, and a 30-vol. list of shidduchim

    starwolf that is disrespect to say that science knows more even if its because they have “more access”, and ames, i learned math very well (in fact skipped many grades up for math) but, I quit after Algebra 2. And no, it did not enhance my avodas Hashem. And btw “CHazal didn’t teach us science or math” Did they teach you Torah either? You’re gonna answer yeah just pick up a sefer. Guess what, maybe they taught us science and math too, just pick up a sefer. And to everybody (except for those who have antiHashpoah) even if you’re not gebentched with boredom to science books, is it still worth the bad Hashpoah even if you’re nispoel from it?

    in reply to: Sukkos Zemiros #661583

    But is there any real zemiros, not just excerptions from davening? Take Shabbos, you have koh ribon, yo zeh michubad etc.

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #660019

    All of a sudden, a nice looking Rolls Royce whooshed by

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660557

    At the end of the day is learning science spiritually dangerous? It depends how, but the classical way of this age dihaynu learning the present day books is for sure dangerous (and if you’re one of those amazing people who have anti-Hashpoah, kol hakavod).

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660551

    ames, it doesn’t. But one still has a chiyuv to fight for Kavod Hatorah. Why are comments that mevazeh Chazal allowed to go through?

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660550

    starwolf I was forced to learn science for many years in school. And same here, how sad can someone be basking in their ignorance of human brain worship, and not admitting that Chazal knew better than him, even in science. It is a major bizayon to be mefakfeik about their knowledge of science, and I now see why science is spiritually dangerous, by the comments you and otthers have said.

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #660014

    Just then a guy named Elchonon came around and bailed my car out with a smile. “Whenever you need me just call “Chuni”

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660548

    starwolf, what about the Chazon ISh? I heard ashiur from a choshuveh rosh kollel that was praising the Chazon ISh’s knowledge of medicine he even adviced top brain surgeons despite ever picking up a medicine book. The rosh kollel said he knew it from “kol haoseik batorah lishmah zocheh lidvarim harbeih”

    in reply to: Sukkos Zemiros #661581

    If you give me a heter to bring an electric guitar and everything else on yomtov

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #660011

    I still had enough to give to tzedaka

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660545

    anon ( I’ll forget about you minusing things off) still the whole yesod of scientific thought even if it some innocent “simply the observations of some scientists” is EVIDENCE. That’s the whole scientific method, if you learned about it. You make a hypothesis, you need to find evidence. They challenge our mesorah of Har Sinai and just about everything because you must have EVIDENCE. Our answer is obvious: How many times has somebody bug u to prove something and u say, “I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I don’t need to prove it to u. We were at Har Sinai, atoh horayso lodaas ki hashem hu elokim ain od milvado – Hashem opened up the shomayim and showed us He was there, and non other (Rashi)! So the whole scientific method of analysis and everything that distorts everything is enough of a reason why not to learn it. If you happen to get an eidel science book (there aren’t much but I”ve seen a few that are semi eidel) then ok. But I still feel being mispoel from the briah is much better. I wouldn’t trust any of those kfira sponsered science books anyways.

    I heard a moshel from a choshuve Rosh yeshiva that imagine you have a guy at NIagra Falls, and then he has a postcard. He’s standing right in front of Niagra Falls, but staring at the photograph saying how beautiful this is . That guy’s a fool he’s at Niagra FAlls!

    Anyways, even if science books don’t negatively impact you because you’re so sure of yourself that you have an iron wall surrounding your neshoma (unfortuanantely I wasn’t blessed with anti-Hashpoah TM just boredom towards science books) there are so many people that got harmed! Just look at some of the people earlier in this article who were mevazeh Chazal about their knowledge of science! Didn’t the gedolim put somebody’s books on cherem for that?

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #660008

    The secretary of Keren HaTzvi said that Antarctica is stuffed, and they are now working on Iceland

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660541

    To the defense of myself: Science books happen to be boring, and that’s just a matonoh min hashomayim, but my point is: They are spiritually dangerous, laden with kefira, freethinking, and the a to z s of Webster’s Atheistic and Agnotistic Dictionairy ( if it existed).

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660537

    Of course, the microscope just make you more and more nispoel! I’m talking about LEARNING science books(Boring).

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660536

    FIne. Which blade of grass do you want to know about? I’ll check it up, and get back to you. Anyways, my point was that “learning science instills me with love and fear of HAshem” depends: From science books: No, quite the opposite, at least from my experiences. From nature and a person that looks around and enjoys the world without the brainracking silly depressing theories and hypothesises (and those horrendous vocabulary terms they’re latin or something), then this is where you get yiras shomayim from. I think many seforim say the beauty of pondering nature to lead to emunoh and stuff.

    She told me the dentist wants me to call him back

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660535

    “Poshite Yid, but the info isn’t accesible!” So it isn’t but it’s there, and that’s my point, and if somebody really learns he’ll get there! Or maybe we’ll get that nice Rav to write up a sequel “Yalkut Historiya shel Blades of Grass min HAtorah”

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660534

    When did I say girls should learn Shas and Medroshim? I said it’s all contained there. MAybe some nice RAv oneday will publish “Likuttei Maamorei Chazal al Habriah”. And I still hold nature walks and star gazing are 10000000000 times better than science books! They’re so boring overloaded in kfira! I used to think nature and animals and stars and chemicals etc. were fun until I saw science! The whole think is miyusdik

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660532

    By the way Justaguy “The Torah is not meant to give us the technical details of creation” The Torah is the blueprint of the world (Medresh Rabbah) and I saw the Groh (I forget where) said that the history of every single blade of grass is found in the Torah.

    I hung up on him right away when I heard his bad news

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #659999

    all of a sudden my nose was very itchy, and my four cellphones all began to ring a t the same time

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #659996

    All of a sudden a clown walked into the store and squirted me with a hose

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660528

    Yes, Chazal have wrote about the wonders of the universe. All over Shas and Medroshim. And btw why do you need anybody to write a book a bout it? Go on a hike in the woods, look at the stars, you’ll be astounded about the briah. Besides, science books nowadays are laden with kfirah which is ossur to read. When I used to be in yeshiva they forced me to go to science class and they were talking about a certain type of worm that I forget what exactly was but the point is the science book said, “It is so wondrous of a creature that it’s as if it was programmed by a programmer. But we know that it really just evolved blahh blah ” The science book couldn’t admit it! I don’t get it what’s your rush to learn science? I was forced to learn it, and it was pretty boring! I was always nispoel from the briah not science books – they made it boring and disgusting!

    in reply to: Broken Telephone #659991

    But when I got to the store I saw the money he gave me was toy money…

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660523

    The name of this is “Is learning science spiritually dangerous?” We got a little off topic about some arguement if Chazal knew science or not (chas veshalom). But this slightly off topic conversation proved one thing: Learning science is spiritually dangerous – if that’s the type of things people can say about Chazal after learning it. The Chazon Ish advised top brain surgeons, and knew psychology very well. He never left the beis medresh or chas veshalom read those books. Once a man askded the Chazon ISh if he can learn psychology, and the Chazon Ish asked him “Why can’t you learn it from Chumash-Rashi?” Every few years scientists change their theories, and in a hundred years they’ll be laughing at using carbon14 to prove ages of fossils and things. But then, they’ll have weirder theories then. The point is, we should stick to Chazal because they’re always right. “Kol Haoseik batorah lishmah zocheh lidvarim harbeih”, “Hafoch boh vahapoch boh ki kuloh boh”

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660498

    And btw Wolf I didn’t mean you should jump the guns and say that the world is chas veshalom 15.3 trillion years old and lice come from eggs… I meant to give it some iyun or ask a rav to really find out. I keep on refering to the example of bishul on Shabbos. Chazal say that in this kli it’s bishul, this one it’s not. Maybe (idk) the fertilization of lice is meshuneh from other briyos, or maybe their eggs are too small or something ( I be’emes dont know) But I think Chazal meant what they meant even physically you just have to find out what they mean. It could take time.

    in reply to: Growing Communities #659784

    Lav davka, sometimes places get a lot of people move in or out of to. Most frum places I’m guessing all have similar birth rates (I’m probably wrong, but still…), so it’s a question of moving.

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660493

    Wolfish, please be mochel me if you had the impression I was accusing you. If you look earlier in my comments I mentioned a mayseh that had happened with me where a guy disgusted me by paskening (?) it was ossur midioraysa to kill lice on Shabbos. I just felt that the conversation was close to the border between trying to understand the Chazal better(which we should really ask a choshuveh Rav like R’ Chaim Kanievsky) and the apikorsus of being mevazeh talmidei chachomim of Gemoro, of which the least knew how to mechayeh meisim (I read that in a letter of Chazon Ish). But dont get the impression I was pointing a finger on you, and If I gave that impresssion I’m sorry.

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660486

    The important thing is that at the end of the day it is mutor to kill lice on Shabbos. If you chap a geshmak to farenfer the reason (which isn’t metaphysical, although Chazals to have secret layers) just like by bishul there is a Chazal’s definition which is very different from ours, kol hakavod.

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660481

    I think (you can argue) but I think to say they’re wrong is a horrible bizoyon to chazal. End of the day, it’s mutor to kill lice on Shabbos. Btw I’m not mad at u if u dont understand I’m just crying about how people can think such hava aminos about Chazal. Plz dont put up a fight even if u dont agree

    in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660478

    I was once told by a person that he holds it is a safek doraysa l’chumra so it is completely forbidden to kill lice. I’m disgusted by the freethinking, and lack of emunas chachomim. We have to accept that Chazal were above us and our brains. Btw not that this is emes, but maybe all Chazal meant that l’inyan the m’lochoh of netilas neshoma it has to come from a certain type of egg etc. like by bishul Chazal were koveia that a kli sheini is ossur, kli shlishi is mutor etc. We should use our brains to reconcile Chazal and find out biyun what they mean, not chas veshalom ridicule them and forbid killing lice

    in reply to: Growing Communities #659775

    I think LA is growing, and getting a lot more frummer and yeshivish, thanks to the Torah instituitions there

    in reply to: Washing Your Car on Yom Kippur #813727

    I once heard a mayseh about the CHofetz Chaim that he once asked some chasidim why didn’t they do yom kippur koton and they said b/c our rebbe didn’t, and he said your rebbe was a big tzadik so he didn’t need it – but you guys need a yom kipppur every thirty days. It’s kind of along the same point, people need regular carwashes.

    in reply to: Davening on Yom Kippur #974551

    If you are really thrown inside your davening, and shuckling hard etc. it makes it pass fatser (and more meaningful), and then if you space out for a couple of minutes here and there, it’s not so bad. “Echad Hamemaet vechad hamarbeh, ubilvad sheyechaven es libo leshomayim” (I hope I quoted that right:)
