Ask The Idiot Anything...

Shem Ben Noah · Oct 15, 2016

Yup, even those I ignore might get a response.

Ask about growing up RC

About my experience converting to Judaism (warning: it aint pretty)

About animals, especially horses

About ... ?

StarryNightshade · Oct 15, 2016

Okay, I'll ask a few.

Why did you convert to Judaism?

Do you still identify as Jewish, or have you since drifted from it?

Do you ever miss being Catholic (I'm guessing that's what you mean by RC)?

Jayhawker Soule · Oct 15, 2016

Are you a biblical literalist?

Jumi · Oct 15, 2016

Tell us about the horses.

Why did you convert to Judaism?

Three reasons I guess.
I was into 7th Day Adventist and thought that the Jews might have a better grasp on Torah.
I also thought that they'd have a better understanding of the God of Torah.
But mostly, I fell in love with the Kaballah and wanted in on the system that created it.

I was disappointed in all 3.

Do you still identify as Jewish, or have you since drifted from it?

Publicly, I still identify. I feel I have no choice really, my spouse and my in-laws are Jewish and so is the company I work for and my boss.

It'd be a real problem if I caused waves.

But, I have to be honest with myself, I'll never really fit in.

Do you ever miss being Catholic (I'm guessing that's what you mean by RC)?

Yes, Roman Catholic. No, I don't miss it it at all.

What is the problem with Noahidism? In your opinion? I mean, even if you are 'technically' Jewish, for reasons of 'religious' adherence and perspective, are you not a Noahide?

I think we'd be a much better species if God made us out of Herbivores like them rather than the foul scavenger primates he used.

Yes, I'm also a Noahide.
Problem? No community. So long as Noahides are under the thumb of the Jews, never will be one.

I'm not really sure what this means, because, the Noahidic Covenant exists outside Judaism. If there is no community, that's hardly a affect from Judaism. But, ok,...
I think we probably have different ideas about that,,,

Now, that brings up another question, what are your religious beliefs?

Not really. For example, I never considered the flood to be literally the entire world.
I don't think that's possible. I do think there was a flood however, a huge one,
one that effected so much of their world, that they felt it was worldwide.

Their world.

There wouldn't even BE a Noachide movement as we know it if it wasn't for the Rabbis, as you know.
Community would need those in leadership roles, and there is none. Just google for Noachide and see
if you can find ANY community with a gentile leadership. I've never found one. Just Jewish sites and
Christian anti-Noachide sites. No Grass-roots efforts.

No inspired or inspiring Noachides trying to build a community.

My personal beliefs are in flux, hence my seeker label.

Have you seen Deathnote?

No. I've seen a fair amount of anime and manga, since my kids are into that, but just a few series.

I would recommend it if you like philosophical, psychological, or thriller shows but I would not recommend watching it with anyone that is at least around the emotional and mental maturity of at least a 16 year old.

Are you Polish or, uh, Non-Liquet?

What knowledge can you share with us, Mr.Shemben?

Why should we ask you questions, how puzzling...

Shem Ben Noah · May 17, 2017

OK, this thread will do.

I'm now inactive, gone to search for Noachide forums.

There's nothing for me here. I hate politics and that's all there is here now.
