“As for what has happened already, I’m afraid all your friends may have to change their email addresses to stop it completely.”
I once got an email from there from a friend, didn’t sign up, and they never sent me again.
Never mind the tumah…etc that is inevitably seen (you cant deny that, please note: every picture of tumah you see makes an imprint in your heart that you can NEVER remove, and never forget. (I forgot who I heard this from- A rav)BESIDES FOR THAT why would you want such a distraction in your home? SJSinNYC: How many hours a week do you spend in front of the screen? What have you gained from all those hours, i understand your a mom, do the children, housework…etc not give you enough things to do during the day? When your husband’s home, isnt it alot more quality to spend time with him alone without a big screen to distract the two of you? WHAT IS THE GAIN OF TV THAT YOU ARE DEFENDING IT LIKE THIS? Its a hard to step to get rid of it, but I dont think anyone ever regretted such a step, and i’m not talking about the tumah aspect im talking about a quality of life without the dumb screen interfering. It never causes any good.
My friend went out (with her husband) came back from first date and said NO WAY! She refused to go out again, saying it will NEVER work, he’s just so different in anything they discussed and he got her so nervous… Her mother convinced her that it’s not nice, especially since the boy was very enthusiastic and excited to continue. They went out again and the rest is history…
But on the other hand, I once dated a boy, who after the first date realized is not for me, (he was very enthusuastic) but I kept being convinced into another date, because maybe it could work, I have to give it a chance… Anyway, I went out with this guy FIVE times (did not enjoy a single date) and felt so cruel knowing I have no interest in marrying him. (The last date, he even tried getting a little ‘serious’ with me, and I’m thinking, DONT GO THERE, THIS IS HISTORY FROM THE SECOND YOU DROP ME OFF! (The reason I continued for so long was because each date got a DROP better, but at the end of the day, even if he got a little more manageable, he was not for me – and I could tell that from the first date.
(I want to add that lots of the pressure on me to keep dating him was from a shiur we had at the end of seminary, where we were told that lots of singles are still waiting around through their own fault, they say no to a boy for invalid reasons that dont really matter in a marriage, you have to be sure that you could never live with the guy before you say no… and I was so scared of pushing away my bashert. Everything must be taken with a pinch of salt.)
Just a story: A Rebbe (I beleive the Satmar) was talking to a clean-shaven yid for a long time. When the guy left, a chassid asked the Rebbe, “Why were you spending so much time with a man without a beard?” The Rebbe responded: “When he comes up to shamayim, they will ask him ‘Yid, Yid, where’s your beard’ when you come up to shamayim they will ask, ‘Beard, beard, where’s your Yid?
I understand if you’d like to re-quote to us what gedolim have said, (though, I don’t know why you’ve appointed yourself the one in charge of that) but don’t add your own extra cream, i don’t think they said;
“fake “chareidi” self-serving politicians”
or
“frum” askonim have fallen to levels on par with the mafia and worse”
It sounds like you have had dealings with him and were hurt by him, or maybe it’s jealousy? Something is pushing you to start a thread against him, MOTZEI ROSH HASHANA!
Am I mistaken or this was written yesterday, meaning motzei Rosh Hashana?!?!?!?! Right after a Rosh Hashana, spent davening in shul, trying to do teshuva, making resolutions for the coming year, and he goes straight to the computer to write a huge paragraph of PURE LASHON HORA?!?!?! (remember, lashon hora is regardless if it’s true or not, so don’t start arguing on that) I’m SERIOUSLY ASTOUNDED!!!!!! Maybe one of your new year resolutions should be trying to refrain from writing lashon hora on yeshiva world and being michshal all those of us who com eon here for some KOSHER reading material! (Never mind when people reply or respond with lashon hora but to START a new thread motzei rosh hashana that is pure lashon hora! I hope at least the rest of people reading this thread won’t go along with him, hopefully they’ve had a more spiritual, inspiring and uplifting yom tov and no better than “truehonesty”. i’m horrified!
