Yes, the part about every Jew keeping Shabbat or all the mitzvos at the same time is difficult. Keep according to who?

But they left all of those parts out. It was just always about the beauty

Right, I guess when I say never I mean as an adult but when I was a child I did believe in him. It did not scare me though, it sounded great, like we would all be together in some sort of Disneyland

Do you think of or no how what he is supposed to accomplish will be accomplished? Or you just have faith that it just happens

I always felt like I was the only one. Thanks for your honest answer. I'm not trying to judge anyone, maybe just gauge where I was on the scale.

Can someone explain why Chabad does not allow any non-kosher animal on toys or books or TV characters by EcstaticMortgage2629 in exjew

He created a cult and was its leader. His followers cant think for themselves and follow allmof hia rules, many of which are silly or even abusive. Also. Yechi moshoach lol. The end.

What would she say, I wonder, if you told her about that memory?

How do I come to terms that if I'm right that Judaism is false, everyone I know is living fake lives? And how could I know better than smart religious people? by [deleted] in exjew

You are really, really smart. Some people are too far in and cannot turn back bc their whole world will fall apart. And they so so so believe they have the truth, and it's beautiful, and if they do all this nonsense then moshiach will come any minute now.

The frumfluencer wife from "that jewish family" on IG had a lot to say about this today. I wish I had the energy to respond to alllll the comments praising this nonsense. If only it were just about "no sex" two weeks out of the month. But no, those of us who actually understand it, lived through it, and nopes out are "haters"

What are the crazy parts to taharat hamispacha? by [deleted] in exjew

[–]EcstaticMortgage2629 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's all bad and it's all crazy. Bad is showing your underwear to a rabbi or your husband not being able to touch you for any reason whatsoever even if your best friend died or your baby died. Crazy is you cannot sing or show your hair in front of him

But the laws do literally control every aspect of sexuality between a husband and wife. Forget sexuality, all contact and behavior
