    bpt

    im pretty sure that was a typo and she meant i am NOW eagerly awaiting my chance!!!

    in reply to: Delete Your Facebook Account for Leiby #791466

    i see

    and what do we learn from Odom exactly?

    that we should do only what we are told in the Torah directly?

    i guess the thousands of Takanahs that the Rabbaim made, for which they are called our mothers for their great compassion in distancing us from sin, should be repealed.

    I guess we should throw out the entire Mesechta Eruvin and most of the voluminous Mesechta Shabbos, and a great deal else of Shas,

    because it is all the Takanas of the Tanaaim and Amoroim, to distance us from sin

    and throw out the Halachah Seforim as well

    in reply to: Is Moshiach almost here? #801182

    i heard that shiur

    6000 is the LATEST that Moshiach can come

    he can come today

    in reply to: simcha halls #792039

    people dont stay long

    and they come at different times

    shouldnt be a problem

    in reply to: I want to talk about Israel etc. #791471

    adorable

    i didnt delete it because i dont understand it

    can you explain please why it should be deleted

    thanks

    in reply to: I want to talk about Israel etc. #791469

    shouldnt this be in the riddle thread?

    in reply to: davening for the amud #791777

    i had the same problem

    explain to the Gabai just like you did here and tell him you are only able to daven a few times a week

    in reply to: Reform Jews #821202

    they (almost)all know that the Jewish religion forbids cremation.

    they dont know why, or the importance of proper burial.

    in reply to: sdn? ???p #990423

    dont meddle into adorables business.

    you are only testing her mettle.

    in reply to: Post Here to Add/Change Your Subtitle #1199045

    thats pretty much it cutie

    in reply to: Why I can't daven #791248

    excellent point feif

    this is a discussion forum

    not a university course

    in reply to: Delete Your Facebook Account for Leiby #791355

    among other things, we try to disallow personal insults.

    live with the moderation that we see fit or you are free to not post. there are plenty of other Jewish sites open to you with more liberal or no moderation.

    in reply to: Know your friends #1021440

    he was blocked because he issued a written curse to a fellow Jew on another thread (since been deleted)

    in reply to: Goodbye to the Coffee Room #789745

    the straw was a curse he wrote here upon a fellow Yid. that post has of course been deleted

    in reply to: What have you "given up" to be frum? #790170

    vegetarianism for health reasons, or a sensitivity in that it bothers you to eat animal flesh (while not holding it to be “wrong”) is a differnt story and i dont think there is any problem with this. as long as it doesnt become an ism, a foundation of your beliefs.

    in reply to: What have you "given up" to be frum? #790169

    i have been told it is worse than just another ism,

    if one holds by vegetarianism out of “moral” principles and that killing animals for food is “wrong” this is apikorsis gemura

    in reply to: Why do I feel like I am still trying to Prove Myself to them? #789466

    i dont think so

    im a sensitive guy

    you pick up on these things

    i think it has to do with the community

    in reply to: Why do I feel like I am still trying to Prove Myself to them? #789464

    perhaps this is a problem only in ny?

    i dont know

    but im a bt, for about 20 yrs. now

    i have NEVER, not even ONCE, experienced any kind of prejudice or negative attitudes because of this

    or maybe i have and i am just to dense to have noticed, but i dont think so

    adarabah, i have many times heard (undeserved) praise for being a bt

    this prejudice i keep reading about in the cr is a complete chiddush to me.

    i just dont get it (this last phrase is meant in two ways)

    in reply to: What special Shabbos dish are you making today? #789415

    sure it does!

    thats what makes it so interesting.

    in reply to: What special Shabbos dish are you making today? #789409

    chicken

    in reply to: My Child's Strange Question #789141

    i imagine the child meant that all those he would think of marrying are taken already, mommy, bubby, sister, aunts, your friends…

    he probably doesnt realize that he will marry someone that he doesnt even know yet. im pretty sure thats why the question was asked.

    in reply to: Today's YW Coffee Room feature: A page full of closed threads #800678

    yes that is sometimes a good decision.

    in reply to: Today's YW Coffee Room feature: A page full of closed threads #800675

    you better

    in reply to: Today's YW Coffee Room feature: A page full of closed threads #800673

    Gasp! So maybe that explains some of the missing posters…

    take out the word mAYBE AND YOUVE GOT YOUR EXPLANATION

    sorry all caps key by mistake

    in reply to: Today's YW Coffee Room feature: A page full of closed threads #800672

    thank you charliehall.

    from someone who has reasons to sometimes become frustrated with the moderation here

    truly a man of integrity

    (just in case my tone isnt clear, that was meant in complete seriousness, zero sarcasm intended)

    in reply to: Relationship Between Recent Events #789206

    Zdad and AN:

    while what you say is true

    nevertheless according to the Gedolim and local Rabbaim who speak about such things

    it is helpful, and perhaps we are even mchuyiv to speculate on these matters based on our Mesorah.

    we ARE meant to learn from all events, especially those directly affecting Klal Yisroel

    in reply to: Relationship Between Recent Events #789199

    i didnt learn that Gemorrah…yet.

    but i have a suspicion that it is interpreted as being ONE of the possible reasons

    in reply to: Today's YW Coffee Room feature: A page full of closed threads #800669

    oh yes

    we have ways of dealing with posters like bpt… “behind the scenes”….

    usually having something to do with bears and a tree.

    in reply to: Nashim Da'atan Kalos and gemorah Avoda Zara 18b #789021

    we are not DUMB were just wired differently and are generally not so technical and “deep learners” but are more tuned into emotions and stuff

    i couldnt have put it better

    in reply to: what do I say? #788489

    i would NOT tell her anything specific at all

    just show her how sorry you are

    she needs emotional support not advice

    she needs caring and hugs and love

    in reply to: What special Shabbos dish are you making today? #789395

    my recipe for beer can chicken is much more interesting, and is always the subject of conversation

    i do it just like you but i dont open the can or poke holes in it.

    in reply to: A Interesting (hopefully) Experiment #788063

    the hypothesis is that people have an extremely underestimated concept of a trillion dollars when they hear the word.

    i guess well never know

    in reply to: A Interesting (hopefully) Experiment #788060

    okay nevermind this obviously isnt going to work

    its approximately 650 miles

    in reply to: A Interesting (hopefully) Experiment #788059

    momma

    Pleas dont try to figure it out

    in reply to: A Interesting (hopefully) Experiment #788058

    NO MATH!!

    what is your feeling?

    ronsr, who obviously estimated, ill undelete your post in a while

    derech who actually looked it up, come on

    cant you people follow directions?

    in reply to: Today's YW Coffee Room feature: A page full of closed threads #800662

    can you point out that post to me, i must have missed it. ill take care of it right away

    in reply to: Nashim Da'atan Kalos and gemorah Avoda Zara 18b #788999

    im sure there are many valid Shitas as to what it means. and im sure they are all correct.

    in reply to: Women and Gemara #788402

    i think you put that very well simcha.

    and not only are your conclusions sound but i believe this is how we actually Poskin today.

    thank you

    in reply to: Nashim Da'atan Kalos and gemorah Avoda Zara 18b #788996

    Rabbi Avigdor Miller, tz’l, described it as women being more easily persuaded and less stubborn than men, having nothing to do with intelligence.

    in reply to: Sad #787954

    sad indeed

    no one said anything about anyone being infallible.!

    not only do you have NO idea what that Gemorrah meant, obviously NO understanding of what the Gemorrah is in general, and NO understanding of how to learn Gemorrah, you are apparently totally unable to admit this and continue to “understand” Torah based on your western liberal secular feelings.

    the rest of your post has been deleted to prevent you from further demonstrating your foolishness in this matter. im sorry you dont understand our “fanaticism”, but the Emes and Hashems honor must be upheld here as much as is possible.

    no further posts from anyone will be approved re this subject.

    in reply to: Discussing the News…. #787952

    i know some will not agree but this is the Halacha.

    it is such as i learned it

    and it is such as i asked a highly respected Posek.

    being in the newspapers, being well known does not remove a statement from being Loshon Horah

    first of all there may be a few (one is enough) who will hear about it for the first time

    secondly being public only makes it permissible if it is said derech agav, not if it is said to continue publicizing it.

    third there are a number of opinions that even when it IS permitted it is a lowly thing to state negative things about ANY fellow Jew (even if “deserved”) unless there is a Toeles.

    this is the Psak I got from the Posek to whom i rely on for issues relating to my function here as moderator. i am not willing to discuss it further with the members of the CR, neither those wise and learned ones, nor others.

    as regards the main page, i have refrained from asking a shaila, and therefore have no opinion.

    i dont think the family would be very pleaesed with this discussion

    in reply to: Women Learning Gemara #787867

    here is a quote of just a small and mild part of the post with the name of the Tannah obviously changed:

    “This whole story says more about the inherent stupidity and egotism of man than of the so-called lightheadedness of woman. What DO they call someone who incites another person to commit an aveira (possibly even only the appearance of an aveira)? Meisit u’meidiach??? I would not tell over that story again. It does no favor for Rabbi Ploni”

    in reply to: Women Learning Gemara #787866

    no i didnt ask a shaila, and i cant right now

    but ive thought about it, and i just cant leave it up

    in reply to: Moshe Rose #789171

    i should clarify that and say i ocassionally agree with his statements. to say i agree with him is misleading since i have no idea how he actually holds

    i dont recall which statements i have agreed with, there werent many

    in reply to: Moshe Rose #789168

    of course they can

    if you even superficially read the two posts you will see one is talking about joseph and one is talking about mosherose.

    if you mistakenly think they are the same person then i see why you might be confused.

    in reply to: Moshe Rose #789166

    thank you for pointing out your previous post, i didnt see it.

    in reply to: Moshe Rose #789165

    joseph is not mosherose

    joseph has extreme views

    hes not a troll (in my opinion)

    in reply to: Women Learning Gemara #787859

    oomis post which completely distorts the Gemorah and she draws ugly and twisted conclusions from it, (based soley on her own personal values and understanding) and speaks disparigingly about a Tannah!, unbelievable! is the very answer to the original post as to why women dont learn Gemorrah.

    the ridiculous and destructive post was allowed to stand only because it so well illustrates the issue.
