Well, I truly emulate this meme:Going over to the dark side.

Why do you call yourself Nin-Jew Master? Are you some kind of stealth specialist? And is Nin-Jewtsu a Japanese based martial art? Or is it like a substyle of Krav Maga?
It was just something I thought of doing earlier today
.There are some Jewish martial artists who market themselves with puns such as these, but I'm not a martial artist. I learned a little bit of mandatory Krav Maga in the army, but probably wouldn't be really effective in a hand-to-hand fight anymore because of two injuries I've had over the last few years.
No, it's just a joke. Maybe I'll change it to something else.

I wasn't being serious either when I asked those questions.
Although i don't particularly like the first one (military stuff upsets me), the convept, story it portrayed, detail and the feeling of motion are very good
I love the 4th July image, with its subtle touches and use of colour ;-)
I'm not sure what to make of the whatsapp one, it looks like a screen copy, but then again, that is the point.
I am impressed with the work.
Sorry.
If it makes it any better, I would prefer we wouldn't need a military.Thanks!
Sorry.
Thanks!
Don't be sorry for my emotions. You do what you need to do.

Is it possible for you and other Jewish brothers and sisters of mine to be friends with a gentile like me?
Sure! You know, there are several stories in the Talmud about Jewish-Non-Jewish relations. For example, Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai would be first to greet anyone in the market, including non-Jews. And Rabbi Yehudah The Prince was famously great friends with Emporor Antoninus.
I think I was about 2 years old, maybe younger. It's a blurry image of a random day at my daycare, which was in the house of someone who lived (and still does) on our street. I can see the glass screen leading to the yard, there other kids around and there are some toys littered in the floor.

OK, as I took a shower within the month.Feel free to ask me stuff, but please keep it clean.
Moshe gave the Law a bit over 3000 years b.p., and yet we in anthropology generally believe, based on the evidence, that us humans as humans seem to go back to around 6 or so million years ago.
So, what took haShem so long, and why only in one little area of the world?

).Well, I'll try to give this a shot. First, let's cut down the millions of years to about 5781 years ago - that's when humanity as a thinking, God-like species with real purpose and free will came to be. Next, theoretically, all men should have been worshipping God from the start. Ultimately, though, the world chose to move in a different direction - farther and farther away from God. At the same time, though, it was starting a process - a kind of backup plan, if you will. That process eventually brought upon the figure of Abraham. His story eventually brought upon the People of Israel, and that brought the giving of the Torah. Was it the best way to come to God? Well, it really depends how you look at it. There are many different aspects to the story. I'm sure you're familiar with the 70 facets idea in Judaism, right?So, what took haShem so long, and why only in one little area of the world?

I have to leave because I'm being threatened [by my wife] to get my leg up. See ya tomorrow, so I'll respond to it then, but thanks for posting it.Perhaps you have a future as a yeshiva student...(old yeshiva joke, don't mind me

Hey, I wrote the book!Perhaps you have a future as a yeshiva student...(old yeshiva joke, don't mind me
Do you accept the commentary that the Creation accounts in Genesis were the 7th and final creation by haShem with the others being previously but only partially destroyed?
We know that at least some Cro-Magnon and Neanderthals had religious beliefs long before that date with cave paintings and some ritualistic burials that go back tens of thousands of years b.p.
Or is it "God's"?
Not by that name, but yes.
Anyhow, I just wanted to rattle your cage a bit per your OP, as I love playing "devil's advocate"-- or is it "haSatan's advocate"?
Thanks you soooooooooo much, my friend, and again congrats!
BTW, I was a moderator at another religious website a couple of decades ago, and I know how taxing that job can be. But you're obviously a smart cookie, so I'm optimistic you can well handle it.
Take care.
On yeshiva students' showering habits? I'd love to read it.Hey, I wrote the book!
I see it as certainly a plausible possibility.
Perhaps you mean gods?Or is it "God's"?
And no, not all.
That...doesn't make much sense, when you think about it. Satan is an advocate, he doesn't need his own advocate.
Thank you. I'm still in utter freak-out mode. I hope it may pass, but I may just be getting my hopes up.
Cheetah. Wish I could run as fast as one.
