I'm watching you, and you are not getting any comments published. Caught you once, shame on you; caught you twice, you're just a plain idiot; caught you three times, God help you--I don't have time for people like you, and I discourage people like you from reading my blog.
The B'rit Hadashah reads, "I suppose that in a time of stress like the present it is good for a person to stay as he is. That means that if a man has a wife, he should not seek to be free of her; and if he is unmarried, he should not look for a wife. But if you marry you do not sin, and if a girl marries she does not sin." I am single and have never married, and have already had two crazy exes (the first from August 4, 2004- about May 19 2005, the second from February 26-March 2, 2013), and am not sure what to do in terms of either continuing to wait on the Lord (since waiting for seven years didn't work last time, and I've even had to call the police on both exes, for example) or entering into a Messianic shidduch process. So, what should I do, especially since entering into shidduch may be in violation of "he [or, in my case, she] should not look for a wife [or, in my case, husband]"? PS If any Anti Messianic answers, I guarantee you that you will be reported for hate speech: you are violating my First, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. I don't bother you about Non Messianic; you don't bother me about being Messianic. Besides, "if this idea or this movement has a human origin, it will collapse. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them; you might even find yourselves fighting God". Also, "You must judge whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than God." Gentiles, I need a Jewish perspective because I was raised not knowing that I am Jewish and found out that I am Jewish only in 2008; so I'm well aware of what the gentile perspective is: wait on God; marry for love, etc.. I need to know how to approach my situation Jewishly, especially since my Crypto-Jewish Czarnecki great grandparents found detriment in following the gentile way of marrying for love.
As someone once asked, "Instead of saying, 'Fuck the police', how about you stop breaking the law?" You want to be the Jane Fonda types and give law enforcement officers excuses to be Officer Rivieris, or you want to respect our cops and soldiers in the first place and gain respect from them back? Follow the law and you won't have the police following you. In fact, the police have saved my own life several times, and they want to save yours instead of make it Hell.
By the way, RIP Great-Great-Granddad DeBoy (1874-1958; served in the BCPD 1900-c. 1910). And yes; he could be a real SOB, but maybe part of that had to do with Baltimore City's belligerents wearing him down.
As I wrote to someone who apologized if his or her actions merely offended me (and not for the actions themselves), "I do not feel that the apology was sincere or for the actions themselves. I will not remove anything since it was on a public forum and it is evidence that I need to use to prove that I am not the first or last victim of UMBC JSU/Hillel. I understand that I am not the only victim, and who one of the victims is was disclosed to me in confidence partly because of how he or she has been bullied by UMBC JSU/Hillel.
"As I stated, my promises are not idle. I will not be back and allow others to get hurt by UMBC JSU/Hillel. As Gamali'el once stated,'Men of Isra’el, take care what you do to these people.Some time ago, there was a rebellion under Todah, who claimed to be somebody special; and a number of men, maybe four hundred, rallied behind him. But upon his being put to death, his whole following was broken up and came to nothing. After this, Y’hudah HaG’lili led another uprising, back at the time of the enrollment for the Roman tax; and he got some people to defect to him. But he was killed, and all his followers were scattered. So in the present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these people, but to leave them alone. For if this idea or this movement has a human origin, it will collapse. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them; you might even find yourselves fighting God!'
"Perhaps instead of bullying me and others, UMBC JSU/Hillel and those associated with it can take Gamal'iel's words to heart. "Forgiven" does not mean "forgotten" or "like the situation never even happened", since I am neither the first to whom it has happened nor will I (I'm afraid) be the last."
UMBC JSU/Hillel is only one group of bullies who I have faced, and they are rightly held out as an example of bullies--since the evidence shows that they are. As Hillel the Elder once stated, "If not me, then who?" Someone needs to stand to bullying in general, and UMBC JSU/Hillel are just an example of bullies.
Imagine if Anan ben David had not stood up to the P'rushiyin of his day. Would there even be a Masoretic Text--which the Kara'im scribed? Imagine if Jan Hus and John Wycliffe had not stood up to the Roman Vatican "Church"--would the Reformation and all that resulted from or because of it have happened? (Bullies such as Martin Luther--a virulent Anti Semite--and John Calvin--a known hater of the disabled and of children--deserve no credit for the Reformation. While God can and did use evil for good, Luther and Calvin were snake-tongued Pseudo Christians. Luther is known about, but that Calvin thought disability to be an automatic sign of predestined damnation is a dirty secret that so-called "Christians" among the Church keep. However, that Calvin thought a span of babies to be in Hell is oft too quoted by Anti Messianics/Anti Christians who want to paint Christians with the brush of Calvin.)
More examples come to mind as well. Nonetheless and in conclusion, I've given enough examples of why I myself am not going to be intimidated when I stand up for myself and others--"If not me, then who?" After all, I have a mitzvah to do tikun-ha'olam--and to do so begins with fixing my world within the world, and fixing my world within the world includes standing up against those who have bullied me and others.
As a Messianic and what I consider a "Messianic Karaite" (as much as I love Nehemiah Gordon, and I know that he and other Karaites don't like that term--as he's made clear), I learned the hard way at the hands of those like Emily Katz Boling and "Rabbi" Jason Klein will attack you as a person if they can't attack what they consider the problems of Karaite and Messianic Judaism. By the way, I never submitted Jason's name, although I certainly found comfort in someone submitting it.
"Rabbinical Judaism is the Catholicism of Judaism."--a friend of mine (and I don't think that he'd care if I named him; I'm just too lazy to name him right now). Re Points 1 and 2, and looking at groups like Hillel, Outreach Judaism, and MERCAZ, one can see that Pharisee Judaism is indeed Judaism's "Catholicism" or Vaticanism ("Catholic" just means "Universal", and I hate when words are perverted. There are Evangelical "Catholics"/Vaticanists, by the way; just like there are Karaites who follow some Pharisaic customs that are acceptable in light of Tanakh and do not contradict it--e.g., wearing kippot, celebrating Hanukkah. Remember that G-d looks at intent [cf. 1 Samuel 16:7].).
Re Point 3, remember how Vaticanists (including Byzantine Vaticanists--though their Vaticans are their various flagship episcopates in places such as Constantinople [now Izmir]--and Jerusalem) used the Inquisitions, pogroms, tribunals, and other tactics to attack Jews, Protestants, and others who weren't "Catholic" or "Catholic enough". This is what groups like Yad L'Achim, MERCAZ (who "[o]ppose any change in ‘Who is a Jew’ and ‘The Law of Return’"), and Outreach Judaism do to those who "aren't Jewish" or "aren't Jewish enough".
A conversation that I had with a friend illustrates how dangerous P'rushiyin groups like Hillel Campus Communities, Outreach Judaism, and MERCAZ are. Since he did comment on a public status and even asked if he could share what I am posting, I'm going to assume that linking to the conversation is okay. By the way, go after me if you want to go after anybody. Actually, go after Yehovah--"'Why strive ye with me? wherefore do ye try the LORD?'" And see how well going after Yehovah goes--I guarantee that it won't go well. "Hear ye now what the LORD saith: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. 2 Hear, O ye mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye enduring rocks, the foundations of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with His people, and He will plead with Israel. 3 O My people, what have I done unto thee? And wherein have I wearied thee? Testify against Me. "
Obviously, UMBC JSU and Hillel taught me to avoid Hillel Camous Communities at all costs. I've heard horror stories about other branches as well. e.g., A kohen was rejected by Princeton Hillel. "As a college student, my community has caused me an enormous amount of harm. Well-meaning friends advise me to "just convert," with no comprehension of the feeling of having your Jewish roots pulled out from under you. The treatment by my somewhat-learned peers has practical ramifications as well. For the past year, I have ceased attending Friday night dinners at my Hillel to avoid the embarrassment of declining to lead kiddush and motzi and having to explain why. " This was originally cited as "2. Student at Princeton Hillel Rejected by Other Students after Discovery Mother was a Convert — This story has a better ending than many such stories. The Half-Jewish Network contacted the rabbi, and it is probable that many other people and groups did as well.
"The rabbi reached out to the student involved, set up an open community meeting on the subject, and created a committee to devise new policies for the future that will cut down on this type of incident. Rabbi Julie Roth’s response was impressive, as most Jewish institutions ignore complaints from half-Jewish members."
Just because I don't respond to
or engage with everything doesn't mean that I don't have a view on it. Maybe,
e.g., I could just be letting you look stupid after a certain point in a
conversation. Don't think that you've won the argument because maybe you haven't.
In fact, you might've lost it so badly and I'm trying to save you for
embarrassment even, even while I'm letting you look stupid enough.
And one last word toEmily [Entry Two here],
by the way: my mistake was giving you a chance to understand my comment. You
twisted my comments about Non-Orthodox Jews who care about Shavu'ot intolashon-hara, and I should've
reported and/or blocked you right there and then. By the way, I'd take
"Katz" out of your name--you are nokohenet-tzedek and
do not deserve a name that means "Kohen-Tzedek". You walk in
the ways of theLevi'im-rahim, notTzadok.And you give the priesthood
to "rabbis"like
Jason--how dare you! If you keep that up, you will be cursed as was Uzziah and Jeroboam--and more so
because you are akohen who
gave the priesthood to Non Kohanim.
I hope that I was clear enough
to you and the other revisionists, Anti Messianics, Anti
Semites and/or Self Haters, and others about whom I'm thinking. By the way,
don't comment on this entry--I will not publish your comments or any comments
of those in your circle. As I stated, I should have blocked you last time and
will block you this time to save you for embarrassment even--you
embarrassed yourself last time by twisting mylashon-tovintolashon-hara.
Also, forgiving doesn't mean forgetting.
Entry Two
"Emily Katz Boling
·Please remove the tweet you posted with a
link to our conversation. It has my name on it and I would not like that on
Twitter and then you proceed to talk badly about me and my boyfriend (who has
done nothing) on there.
Thank you
"
I'm not removing anything. You commented on something that I
shared publicly (e.g., on the article itself, and as I would've shared in
general on Facebook had I looked at the privacy settings more closely--and
"Friends of Friends" is public enough, anyway); you're held to
account publicly. After you slandered me when I exemplified UMBC JSU/Hillel as
a Non-Orthodox community that cares about Shavu'ot, I owe you no favors.
Besides, I removed Frank as well. I don't keep non-friends'
boyfriends as friends. Besides, what does that say about him that he's dating
you--someone who would slander someone just because he or she is Messianic? If
Frank has a problem with it, he can come to me. You're his girlfriend, not his
mother; and he's old and mature enough to talk to me (I can only hope,
anyway.).
Let me tell you something else, Emily. What I said and what you
said is in replay all over again. Don't lie about me, and you won't be held to
account for doing so:
As a Messianic Jew, I
find two of the comments really problematic:
1) "The event it
commemorates—God giving the Torah to the Jews at Mount
Sinai—is arguably the most pivotal in the narrative of the Jewish
people. But from the treatment it receives next to its more popular siblings—at
least within non-Orthodox American communities—you wouldn’t know it." I
care about Shavu'ot, and even admire what people like UtahSoccerMom do. Also,
the Kosher Korner at UMBC (which is Non Messianic and has mainly Non-Messianic
patrons, mostly those who go to the JSU/Hillel events headed up by a
Reconstructionist) is closed beyond the Shavu'ot holiday (May 13-May 19,
although Karaites and Messianics like me celebrate Shavu'ot on only the 19th).
2) "Hanukkah is
so visible that conservative talk radio hosts think it threatens
Christmas." I have never heard talk-radio hosts say that. They're more
worried about the Atheists and Agnostics who threaten the legality of Christmas
and Hanukkah celebrations within the United States.
When it comes to theological significance, the late-spring
festival of Shavuot is no slouch: The event it commemorates—God giving the
Torah to the Jews at Mount...See More
And to message me on my public-figure Facebook page when I blocked
you. How dare you! I want nothing to do with you, and I made that I want
nothing to do with you quite clear. Besides, people like you are part of why
UMBC JSU/Hillel involvement and Jewish communal life in general at UMBC is
declinining. People who try to walk in Tanakh can and should not stand those
who deliberately have walked off of thederech-Yehovah
v'Tanakh, and persecute those who do walkb'haderech-Yehovah
v'Tanakh. People are quickly figuring out that people like you, like Jason,
and like others are those kinds of people who do all kinds ofchullil-Yehovah b'HaShem-Yehovah--thus
breaking the third of theAseret
HaD'varimin particular.
You clearly didn't learn from when Becca persecuted me. You'll
learn this time: I am not a doormat; I am not one about who you may speaklashon-hara, and I am one who
is not coming back to UMBC JSU/Hillel or even the Kosher Korner--after all, I'd
hate to run into you there.
My mistake for ever speaking any lashon-tovabout UMBC JSU/Hillel or even the
Kosher Korner--after all, you and your ilk do nothing but twist what I say intolashon-hara, every bit for
which you deserve to be called out. I also guarantee that if you keep treating
me and others as you have treated me and them (and I rightly group you in with
certain people), you will drive people all the more away from the UMBC
JSU/Hillel and Kosher Korner to the point at which there'll no longer be an
UMBC JSU/Hillel and Kosher Korner. After all, people won't want to try to
derive benefit from them if all they'll get is Hell for doing so.
Besides, as I said, Emily contacted me on my public page and commented regarding my public tweets. Her name will be known; to respond to her using Tanakh is not hate speech, and she will not hurt me and (as I'm sure that she has) others and get away with it--especially since she has a name which means "kohan tzedek", and I guarantee you that she is ironically not. She will not violate my First, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendment Rights to stand up to her; and she clearly needs lessons in both Tanakhand the Constitution, so I'm going to repost the entries with the original links to Tanakh pirkei and the constitutional amendments (and the relevant articles of the Fourteetnth Amendment) with my emphasis:
"Congress shall makeno law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; orabridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceablyto assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."I dealt with her on the original post itself several times, and she and whoever is supporting her didn't like that. Guess what; you're part of the government of UMBC JSU and Hillel, whether de facto or de jure, and you will get called out if you bully someone by perverting his or her lashon tov about UMBC JSU/Hillel into lashon hara.UMBC JSU/Hillel is an organization at UMBC, a public/government school; and it has the Fourteenth Amendment, which encompasses the Bill of Rights, apply to it. The Fourteenth Amendment thus applies to the government/public-school organization government that UMBC/JSU Hillel has.
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage othersretained by the people." She may not quash my First Amendment Rights of criticizing her in light of her perversion of my lashon tov and in a religious context as hate speech or personal attacks on her or our shared ethnicity. As I said and demonstarted (including with a link to Ezekiel 48), she is a so-called "Katz" who is of "the Levites [who] went astray" and did not do tzedek when she twisted my lashon tov into lashon hara. As a Jew (and one who is a Levite) myself, anyway, I have the right and even a mitzvah to correct another Jew (let alone another Levite) if he or she (in this case, she) has gone astray (even if, and though, she ranks above me).
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws....The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." Again, UMBC JSU/Hillel is an organization at UMBC, a public/government school; and it has the Fourteenth Amendment, which encompasses the Bill of Rights, apply to it. The Fourteenth Amendment thus applies to the government/public-school organization government that UMBC/JSU Hillel has.
So, Emily, anyone who joined her in falsely reporting my response to her as hate speech, and Facebook could all be easily sued; especially since she first bullied me, then reported my response on my own blog which is protected under the Constitution and various case lawsas hate speech.However, Messianic Jews are not to sue anybody; so I will (luckily for Emily) treated her as she deserves and sue her, let alone anyone who joined her or Facebook.
I will, nonetheless, repost the entries--and that is that.
Working on Shabbat is not any of the following, which needs to be addressed in order to understand what working on Shabbat is:
Playing on the computer or any other device.
Driving or walking to Shabbat services at your local synagogue or church (To the brats--and I address you later as well--, you ought to get some fresh air and realize that there are Jews and Israelophilic gentiles who observe Shabbat services in churches.).
Preparing your food (which is specifically in Tanakh).
Kindling fire for non-work purposes (which is implied in Tanakh).
As for the man who was gathering wood on Shabbat--since he needs to be addressed and was going to be brought up, anyway--was intending to work. Again, God looks at intent. As one woman stated (with my emphasis put on her words), "But what constitutes "for real" [Shabbatnikery]? Not using electricity? Not using money? Not watering the crops? Going to synagogue? I think it's clear that one can choose to observe a sabbath in many ways - from spending time with friends and family to not doing job-related work to having people over for a Friday night meal - any statistics will be self-reported and most likely not well-defined here." (Also, to be fair and for example, watering your gluten-free crops for your gluten-intolerant family member or your beloved flowers in your gadren is not work.).
Also, if you can't figure out why I'm linking to certain books in the JPS Tanakh, then you go look up the specific verses on BibleGateway yourself--I don't want to use the New King James Version and get accused of proselytizing by certain brats (and you know who you are; and that's the nicest way that I can describe you, since you are--and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt by stating that you are--acting like petulant children).
