In another Aish.com video (http://www.aish.com/literacy/concepts/Why_Not_Intermarry$1.asp) by Minister of Information Becher, he cries and whines about intermarriage to a nonorthodox but jewish audience. What he does not say is that, you can't become involved with someone orthodox if you are not orthodox yourself.
If you are not orthodox, Minister of Information Becher wants to boss around who you can and cannot marry, and as a religious rule, orthodox jews don't get romantically involved with nonorthodox jews. In other words, "You can only marry with other Jews, but us Jews are more equal than the rest of the Jews and we are too good for you."
Again in other words, when it comes to dating and marriage, nonorthodox jews or people who don't follow their lifestyle and beliefs 100%, are just as gentile as the gentiles.
There is a very good reason for avoiding having an orthodox spouse. For example, let us say I am married to an orthodox woman and I get bored on Shabbat, I'm gonna play a computer game because I like computer games. What will the orthodox woman do? Cry and rant that I am a sinner and say that I should stop or be issued a demand for divorce. Get the picture? I don't need a marriage ruined over a damn computer game, and I am sure you don't need your marriage ruined over something you like to do for fun. Shabbat is the only rest day I have ever heard of in which you can't do anything you want for fun and you have to dress formally for it.
Orthodox Judaism is way too strict for an all or nothing deal. Stay away from them if you want a happy marriage.
I would like to make a comment about divorce rates in orthodox judaism ... because women are not allowed to issue divorces in orthodox judaism and orthodox men sometimes refuse to give gets ... the "small" divorce rate in orthodox judaism is rigged. If women were allowed to divorce in orthodox judaism, their divorce rate would be higher.

Tales of A Loser
Ok so this loser names Shlomo goes to the www.Kvetcher.net blog and says:
"SJ you wouldnt be invited [to the nbn bloggers convention] because you are a bad blogger and cant make a cohesive argument."
so I say "That’ s funny. Click here for "Well, I’m convinced. He [SJ] pointed out our errors, rationally and convincingly. I’m considering becoming irreligious right now” in the comments section."
and he said "omg are you a moron? SJ that’s called sarcasm! he was making fun of you!
I also find it humorous that you have to point to ONE comment in the comment section of a random blog as the ONLY evidence that you don’t suck"
to which I answered "
Shlomo,
1) He closed his orthodox freelancers blog and started a freelancers blog in general writing that his views are not necsessarily the same
2) My ratings on israelforum.com are pretty good.
you are just mad that someone disagreed with orthodox judaism, it is sad that you are not straightforward about this fact but frankly it does not fool me."
The point is that the stalinist Shlomo was writing me off as "a bad blogger" without being straightforward about him disliking how I disagreed with orthodox judaism. To him, anyone who disagrees with his cult orthodox judaism is "a bad blogger."

Aish.com Has a New Minister of Information
Ok so Aish.com has a new propaganda video attempting to tackle the issue on whether or not orthodox judaism destroys individuality. In it Rabbi (Minister of Information) Becher gives a very deceptive image of individual nonindividuality.
Penguins.
Lot's of them.
and when you take a look at Minister of Information Becher's video, duh he's following the orthodox dress code except for the black hat.
I personally had a bad experience with the orthodox dress code. On the first day of yeshiva high school while I was still in high school, I was sent home the first day of the year because although my dress shirt was blue, and a solid color, as the text of the dress code said, it wasn't the correct shade of blue for the rabbinical control freaks and I was not allowed to attend classes the first day because of that bull shit.
Here's three points where the deception comes in.
1) Becher's portrayal of diversity of practice inside orthodox judaism would be as if Osama bin Laden said that in a propaganda video that in his ideal society 'there is great diversity. a woman can choose to wear a black burka or a grey burka.' What Osama bin Laden wouldn't say in his propaganda video is that a woman who chooses not to wear a burka would get stoned or beheaded.
Similarly, Becher is utterly silent about what one risks if one does join the orthodox community and then decides that a particular religious stringincy is too much for him or her. The person who decides to chill out even a bit with the stringency stuff risks his/her marriage, family, and community. This is not diversity. This is fascism.
2) Secondly, Becher was portraying orthodox judaism as if everyone agrees with eachother in terms of belief. This is totally false. Mitnagdim disagreed with hasidim. The Ashkenaz disagreed with the Sephardic. Modern Orthodox disagreed with the Charedim. Chabad disagrees with everyone else regarding if the messiah came or not yet. etc. Orthodox Judaism is anything but a unified party platform.
3) Spiritual individuality is bull shit. Either you are able to live life your own way without being shunned by your family and your community, or you are not. And Minister of Information Becher is trying to sell not being individualistic as being individualistic.
Don't fall for it.
Here is a hint on why many people feel that orthodox judaism takes away individuality:

Pravda Ne'eman's Commentors Are Dumb Bitches
So what happened was I posted on Pravda Ne'eman's site under the guest post of my response that if there's one more dumb ass comment I am going to satirize these mother fuckers. Pravda Ne'eman's editors were pussies so my warning post did not make it past comment moderation.
Before I deal with ripping the commentors to shreds, it is helpful for you to actually read the comments at http://www.chareidi.com/2008/08/secular-jew-responds.html for the sake of providing context and thus a fuller understanding of my post.
The commentors to the thread with my guest post are as follows:
Sam = Moron. Does not understand highly common colloquial speech.
Doughboy = Moron. Mistakes highly common colloquial speech for actual serious accusations. Further, J.D.'s actions really was sleazy (the spelling as sleezy brings up 707,000 hits on Google).
R2D2 = he's a special case, probably a definitearticlephiliac. This guy is obsessed with the word "the." On the welcome mat of his house, it does not say "WELCOME;" it says, "THE." As a career, R2D2 is going to be the New York Times' "The" Detective who is going to bravely surf the internet to find instances of using the name New York Times with out the word "THE" and then boldly correcting the egregious error. Next, he is going to be the United States' ambassador to Russia where he will introduce the definite article into Russian grammar and then he will be hailed as a hero throughout the Russian Federation.
R2D2 is not going to stop there. R2D2 is going to want to be fair to the indefinite article, s0 he is going to go to middle eastern countries, both arab and the 1 jewish state, to demand that Arabic and Hebrew gives the indefinite article equal treatment. This commitment to the definite article and fairness to the indefinite article is going to make R2D2 a shining example for many generations to come to those who would plot unfairness throughout the world.
R2D2 (in reality) = Moron.
Then there is patrilineal jew who takes the most trivial spelling errors and turns them into cardinal sins. He'd be a great orthodox jew.
Second to last (at the time of this writing) is Freethinking Upstart. Freethinking Upstart is a whiny bitch ass who is trying to not be a parrot of everything that rabbis told him, but from the way he argued with me on my blog, this loser can't help himself.
Lastly (at the time of this writing) is Baruch Pelta. Baruch was incredibly impressed that all J.D. had to do was post my response on his blog, and the parrots of the rabbis automatically started bashing it, (trivial spelling errors instead of actual points that I bring up). This guy is a Baal Tshuva and a lover of history, which of course means he was moving his bowels while the history teacher was giving a lesson on primary and secondary sources, and why oral traditions are not equally reliable with written traditions.
In conclusion, Pravada Ne'eman, your commentors suck.

Pravda Ne'eman Update
Pravda Ne'eman has acted honorably by putting my response to their post as a guest post.
Pravda Ne'eman says 'Defamation is Cool'
Ok so this smart ass editor of the blog Pravda Ne'eman with a J.D. degree, who calls himself J.D., has defamed me by trying to say on their blog that I am motivated by being rejected by an orthodox girl by quoting that post I made about the girl who was pissy with me. I was never even interested in that girl.
Before that he speaks about putting "links to my blog on other people's blogs as if it was a cardinal sin of blogging so to speak, which is ridiculous. This wierd woman put a link to her blog on my blog and I didn't cry like a little bitch the way J.D. did in his post.
After that JD mentions my blog when I said "WE [ORTHODOX JEWS] ARE NOT TOO STRICT! THE TALMUD IS ONLY 5,422 PAGES LONG!!!" And when JD tried to make it like the talmud's size is no big deal by trying to compare it to American law, JD makes the logical error of comparing a legal code in a religion that's meant to regulate every aspect of a person's life to a legal code in a free society.
Then J.D. said, "First of all, it is worth noting that SJ seems to feel that such trivialities as spelling, grammar and punctuation are for the birds. Fine. But he also seems to feel similarly about clear thinking and reasoning," and a commentor on the thread in JD's blog said referring to me, "he uses language and grammar that is reasonably sophisticated."
It seems that J.D. is a snob who feels that anything that is not written New York Times quality is automatically not worth reading. Since my blog is just my opinion I don't feel a need to proofread every last punctuation mark. Further, its not even a professional blog, its just my opinion and I do feel that I make my point articulately enough.
Another point is that J.D. bashed me for saying "Let us presume that God intended Judaism to be a Judaism that the majority of jews can follow with minimum difficulty. Let us presume that God intended Judaism to be a Judaism that the majority of jews can follow with minimum difficulty. any more difficulty beyond the minimum would be self flagellation and self flagellation is retarded." Well what kind of religion do you want, one that only a minimum of Jews can do with a maximum of difficulty?
So to conclude this post allow me to say what in fact motivates me to blog, the insane rules that orthodox judaism has, and the lack of being able to disagree in orthodox judaism and still be apart of the community. If orthodox judaism succeeds in being the only possible sect of judaism out there, the jewish people will be a fascist state in the midst of a free country. I am not on a mission to save the jews from self inflicted fascism, but merely to voice my opinion and ridicule all the crap that's going on.
So by the way, mr. faggot religious lawyer, i expect my apology for your defamation of me in your blog (of course none is going to come). I think I pretty much established in my previous post that the only thing worse than a sleezy lawyer is a sleezy orthodox lawyer.
