Putting On the Full Armor of G-d, and Walking Across the Jordan and The Jordan Valley With It

Numbers 32:16-27

New King James Version (NKJV)



16 Then they came near to him and said: "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones, 17 but we ourselves will be armed, ready to go before the children of Israel until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones will dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until every one of the children of Israel has received his inheritance. 19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this eastern side of the Jordan."

20 Then Moses said to them: "If you do this thing, if you arm yourselves before the LORD for the war, 21 and all your armed men cross over the Jordan before the LORD until He has driven out His enemies from before Him, 22 and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you may return and be blameless before the LORD and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. 23 But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out. 24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what has proceeded out of your mouth."

25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying: "Your servants will do as my lord commands. 26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will be there in the cities of Gilead; 27 but your servants will cross over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, just as my lord says."









Jeremiah 3:13-15

New King James Version (NKJV)



13 Only acknowledge your iniquity,

That you have transgressed against the LORD your God,

And have scattered your charms

To alien deities under every green tree,

And you have not obeyed My voice,' says the LORD.



14 "Return, O backsliding children," says the LORD; "for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. 15 And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.





1 Kings 19:15-18

New King James Version (NKJV)



15 Then the LORD said to him: "Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria. 16 Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 17 It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. 18 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."





Luke 8:16-18

New King James Version (NKJV)





The Parable of the Revealed Light

16 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him."

Keep walking. Keep carrying your cross to the Mountain of G-d.

"I'm Gonna Smile"- And Not Because I'm Happy, But Because I Can Be Joyful

And even though there are moments where I don't feel that I forgive you and I say the opposite of it, I forgive you and I'm going to forgive you-- not because I forgive you, but because I've been forgiven. And I'm going to have moments when I say that I hate you, but I have to love you even if I intensely dislike you-- because I was loved first, and not by you. And it's like I told someone in the Casey Anthony case:

 I don't agree with Geraldo and the jury, but I agree that the hate against Geraldo is uncalled for. Not that I think that hate against anyone else-- even against Casey and Jose Baez-- is okay, but I understand people being very angry about what happened. I think that we can hate what happened without hating any of the parties involved.

Same thing with you and Great-Grandma Gaydos-- among others-- regarding Pepi, Vilmosz, and others who you have hurt and betrayed over the years (and you've ultimately hurt yourselves)-- I'm learning to forgive you all.

I'm learning to forgive and forget-- not forget as in forget to ponder in my heart, but forget as in don't begrudge even though I'll have learned from experience and still be wary, and understand and know what to do (and because G-d will help me deal with what I need to deal with, and help me deal with who I need to deal with).

Kevin Still Hates That We're Jewish-- He Thinks That I'm Advocating Apostasy; But I'm Actually, Among Other Things, Holding Great-Granduncle Carl Up As a Hero

First, the part where I supplemented my original reply:

http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/03/the_depths_of_f.html

Even more pro-FDR sources are conceding (even if between the lines) that FDR was a notorious, pro-Grand Mufti, pro-Hitler Anti Semite.

In a message... [I wrote]:

http://www.newsweek.com/1994/04/17/did-fdr-betray-the-jews.html

So why did Great-Grandma let the Anti Semites and Anti Missionaries scare her into enabling the murder of Vilmosz, David, Pepi, and their side of the family? Great-Granduncle Carl didn't.

In a message, [Kevin, who is being cocky and actually being rude as well as assuming in his position that the letters couldn't have been translated or that I could read at least the dates in Slovakian and/or maybe even Yidish] writes:
No mistake was uncovered. You wouldn't be able to read the letters anyway because they are written in Slovak. I don't appreciate your rudeness after the help I gave you in your genealogical quest...

My original reply:

I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm being blunt. Besides, as I said, " if the letters weren't so bad, why did Grandaunt Mary Ann not give the dates or specific contents of the letters?" Both of us have seen that this is a clear pattern in certainly the Fosko Family (I never heard that your great-granddad was sent away, let alone that you existed, for example!).



These cover ups (so many of them) have divided our family on our common and all sides right here in America; and some of us aren't even talking to each other because of the "Who's not telling what?" and "Who's hiding what?" games? Besides, how can we forgive and bring redemption into and out of family situations which we don't even know-- or talk-- about?



Whenever I heard Andrew and Julia Fosko Rusnak spoken of-- they were immigrants from Slovakia or Czechoslovakia who married in 1905, had kids, etc.. Never did I know that our family (even if I disagreed with some of the intent of their decisions)-- for example-- came over here to escape persecution after we couldn't assimilate in Slovakia; and many of us weren't just Crypto Jews (although some were, which is where I disagree with the intent: regardless of the meshuga AntiSemitism in the Church, we should've given Jesus a chance in our lives; and if and when our relatives thought that we were joining the traitors, so what?! And many of us were Jews who believed in Jesus; we were just too damned afraid and too damned quiet to emphasize that part) .



Truth is a lot better (even if stranger and more disquieting) than fiction. By the way, I look at Great-Granduncles Andy, Carl, and Joe all the more as heroes for their going over there (Well, Great-Granduncles Carl and Joe were able to; but on the homefront, there was still Anti Semitism and also that "You can't be a Jew for Jesus!" attitude that Great-Granduncle Andy had to deal with every day!).



And for example, with Great-Granduncle Carl; how would you have liked to ever have the possibility that you may have to step into especially Czechoslovakia and Hungary if the war took you there, particularly when the Germans were looking for Jewish (even Messianic (Christian) Jewish) military personnel and civilians to kidnap and ship off to murder and POW-murder camps? And given that the Rusnaks were a prominent family in Kosice, (Czecho)Slovakia (Kassa, Hungary); the Germans and other Anti Semites would be on the lookout for Rusnaks trying to come in and help Vilmosz et. al.-- and other Jewish people trying to help others.



(By the way, I'm not saying that, that excuses Great-Grandma's stopping to write either: letters seemed bad enough to smuggle; but Great-Granduncle Carl put himself there for his country and fellow Jews in and who were certainly at risk because the Holocaust-- even if you were in a Jew in the Allied Countries, you were at risk; and actually, that's part of why Great-Grandma should've helped instead of hurt Vilmosz et. al. all the more: so to speak and pardon my language, screw FDR and his isolationist, pro-UN and pro-Grand Mufti, Anti-Jewish and Anti-Israel policies!



(FDR was a known Anti Semite who wanted to not just stay out of ending the Holocaust and out of World War, but also to hurt the Jews and-- for a lack of a better term and if you will, since this how Anti Semites like FDR would've thought-- "let Europe take care of the Jews". FDR actually even wrote a letter saying that he did not support the founding of a Jewish state in the Middle East, and he appointed Bernard Baruch as his scapegoat to take blame for what was often called "The Jew Deal".)



Given, then, the example of the recollection of FDRs and other Anti-Semitic WASPs-- and Anti-Semitic Europe-- on one hand, and the Antimissionary (Anti-Messianic-Jewish) crowd on the other; Great-Granduncles Carl, Joseph, and Andy, and others who have a place of honor within the family history and within history; shouldn't we at least tell what really happened to honor those who did the right thing and brought redemption into and out of our family, instead of covering even the good up with the bad?



As I said, for instance, Great-Granduncle Carl did put himself over there knowing that the European Theater could take him in the footsteps of his parents and right into the hands of Germans who were looking for more Jewish Rusnaks and other Jews to kidnap and imprison in murder camps-- and what Mary Rusnak Gaydos did makes her brother Carl all the braver and more righteous: Sgt. Carl Rusnak basically stood up and said by standing up, "I'm going to go over there and help our family, help our fellow Jews, and help my native country-- even if many of them don't like Jews! I'm not going to let the Anti Semites and Antimissionaries scare me out of doing the right thing."

Part of This E-Mail Had To Do With Certain Relatives, But There Was A Bigger Picture

Besides Chron's and OCD, there's much worse plaguing the Fosko-Rusnak Family: it's a spiritual sickness-- and one that might justly cost us any chance to make aliyah.

By the way, this e-mail correspondence is chronicled in recency order; because I frankly didn't feel like copying and pasting, and putting things in standard chronological order-- and besides; family history is often discovered via recency (instead of standard) chronology, and keeping the e-mail correspondence in backward order may provide comic relief for the fact that you have to read it in a down-to-up-- not up-to-down- order (Then again, the suggestion of any comic relief probably is a little sick.).

Neither did the prosecution in Casey Anthony's case, right? Unlike you and the rest of the family (or at least certain people in the family), I know that common sense allows for circumstantial evidence. By the way, if the letters weren't so bad, why did Grandaunt Mary Ann not give the dates or specific contents of the letters?




I am ashamed that some in the family are so corrupt as to hide what is a forgivable mistake that-- as forgivable as it is-- still needs to be dealt with. I am further ashamed that said forgivable mistake is being made to be unforgivable by being hidden and then, once uncovered, excused and/or justified.



I understand that US foreign policy at the time was isolationist, times were bad especially for Crypto and Messianic Jews in America (where being Jewish and a Christian was apparently supposed to be okay; but the "G-d forbid if you even act like a Jew for Jesus, let alone are a Jew for Jesus" and "the Jews are Christ killers" attitudes still applied), etc.



Nonetheless, Great-Grandma was reached out to by relatives who had that very "G-d forbid if you even act like a Jew for Jesus" attitude, because they trusted that even who they considered a meshumadah and koferah would do the Christian thing that she claimed to live by and follow the higher good. And Great-Grandma (so to speak) dropped the ball and cost lives by her actions.



By the way, there are those who would get word of what Great-Grandma did and snicker, "Oh; not only are Jews the Christ killers, now they even betray their own-- as if they didn't betray one of their own before!" Are you honestly okay with that, and all because we justify a significant reason why many of our relatives continue to hate the very name of Jesus (or at least our use of it), and why many gentiles continually blaspheme G-d and attack the Jewish people?



PS If you ever try to make aliyah, I won't blame the Israeli government if they won't welcome you-- they would have every reason to use that you justified a traitor to relatives who were trying to make aliyah!

Nicole,



There is no evidence of any kind of coverup or wrong-doing. The letters I am aware of were written in the late 1940's, after WWII ended and after Julia had died. Mary Ann's mother reached out in a good-will effort to see how people were back home, and probably to also let them know Julia had died. Mary had five children to feed and times were tough here after the War too. How could she be expected to send money overseas?



Andrew Rusnak's parents were married in the same Greek Byzantine Catholic church on Nov 5, 1876 that Andrew and Julia were baptized at. Andrew's naturalization papers state he was born in Aryanidka.



Enough is enough, Nikki, your anger and rhetoric is missplaced. You have a right to your opinion, but you have no facts to back up your accusations.

From: [Me. By the way, I don't see why they want to think that G-d is kidding about sin visiting the third and fourth generations-- and giving Non-Messianic Jews, or at least those who aren't Crypto and Non-Messianic Jews, and gentiles to blaspheme Yeshua.]

Subject: Re: By the Way....





[Cousin]:

What I disparage more than anything is the image that we have created of Great-Grandma as such: admirable. I also disparage the same with our family: how can we be admirable in covering up and/or justifying such actions as Great-Grandma did, and ones that were done to and within our own family? With a family-- especially where the Gospel is concerned-- a family must be looked at in how they preached and lived the Gospel within and outside of the family-- and that means admitting, repenting for, and looking for redemption in instead of covering up and justifying inexcusable mistakes.



What admiration is there in stopping correspondence with Vilmosz Rusnak and his brother-in-law (the husband of Pepi Rusnakova Grinfeldova) Zoltan Grinfeld (both of whom had children-- Fredi, hardly a year old; Sandor and Miklos, one of whom was 10 and the other 12) when they trusted even the oldest daughter of who they consider a kofer, a meshud; and she betrayed them and, to make it worse, hid what she did that caused them to both:



1) die in the Holocaust (all of the Rusnaks for whom help was asked died at Auschwitz and other murder camps; except for Tibor Rusnak, who understandably went to Ohio after surviving the Holocaust and did not talk to our side of the family in Pennsylvania)



and



2) Think all the less of Jesus because of our actions. Their (that is, Vilmosz's) dad Yehoshua Samuel considered Jakub and Maria Novakova Rusnak, the parents of Great-Great-Granddad Rusnak, as good as met (dead) and to sit shiva for over their supposed (Crypto) conversion to Slovakian Byzantine Catholicism. When Great-Grandma did what she did, she left the perception for Vilmosz et. al. that Jesus really did hate Jews and would even have his Jewish followers deliver Jews into the hands of the Pogroms, Crusaders, and now the Nazis.



I don't disparage mistakes as much as I do the unrepentant attitude toward them and the justification toward them. And how are we as Jews, as Rusnaks, as Christians going to be believed that one can be as Jewish as the Kosice and Zlata Idka Rusnaks were and believe in Jesus? That's a question that we as Jews and as a family have to look at-- we can't be preaching the Gospel while being remiss about a most UnJewish and UnChristian thing that was done within and to our family.



Besides, we don't know if Great-Grandma's uncle Stephen really was still alive in 1947 as Great-Great-Granddad's obit claims. He may have died in the Holocaust, too; and then how can we blame when fellow Jews scoff and won't believe the Gospel because of Jews like Great-Grandma, who betrayed her own to the Nazis' will?

Hi Nicole,



I do admire your desire to research the family history. That is terrific. And I believe that each person deserves his or her own opinion.



That being said, I have 2 thoughts to share with you:



1. We did not live in such times and I feel strongly that if you have not walked a mile in someone's shoes, then you should not judge that person. Actually, that is my golden role; I am not perfect so I do not feel I have the right to judge anyone. Please give this careful thought.

2. I adore Grandma, her legacy and the family - and I politely request that you do not send me any further correspondence that speaks disparagingly of them.



Thank you,

Remember that it was the Foskos and Hanzoks who go back to Diosgyor? Also, parish records do follow; and especially in those times for such a significant move, they or copies of them would have. Remember as I said, the parish records would've proved that we weren't Jews if they went with us from Diosgyor. There were no records until 1776, in more-Philosemitic Zlata Idka.



PS Andrew Rusnak claimed that he was born in Zlata. You found the connection to Kosice with Jakub and Maria (around or after the Yad Vashem records for Vilmosz et. al. were discovered by me. I still say that Great-Grandma Gaydos acted traitorous. Given that they viewed her and her dad and siblings as meshudim and sat shiva for him and his parents, no way did they have to ask her for help-- and she only served to turn them further away from considering Jesus as Messiah.



(Meanwhile, "money" en meir tuchus- I wish that Grandaunt Mary Ann, Grandma, et. al. would admit what Great-Grandma really stopped writing for. She and Grandma were 12 and 7 at the time-- about May 17, 1944 when the Rusnaks and Szymon Nowak (Shimon Novak) were murdered; and 10 and 5 or 6 when Iwan Rusnak was murdered. As for the others, we were much younger or not even born yet-- we couldn't have done bupkis. Yet to excuse Great-Grandma's behavior-- or at least hide it-- is entirely wrong, especially when other Jews have married into the family-- the Feldmans and Lavins, for example (and "Lavin" is a form of "Levy" or "Levi"-- "Levite")).

[PS Ally Shumack seems to hate that fact. But I don't mind that Fred McMahon's wife is a Levite. In fact, I kind of envy that-- as far as I know-- I'm a plain old Yehudi'ah-- not a Levi'ah or a koheinah.]

Parish records don't follow one from place to place. Parish records eventually become genealogical dead-ends because these records don't list the town and place of worship for a child's parents. My baptismal record does not show where my mom and dad were born. But my birth certificate does.



Was Andrew Rusnak born in Zlata or in Diosgyor?



I'm on vacation now but will be happy to look more into this when I get home. Can you send me a copy of Andrew's nat papers and death cert? I don't have them.



Kevin ...

[Weirdly enough, Kevin gave me copies of quite a few of the documents that he was able to get copies of himself. And he brought up the 1776 date. Besides, a Hebrew woman with children-- who did ask Julia Fosko to pair up with her as a traveling partner on the Fredrich der Grosse(?)-- would not have asked Julia to do that were she a gentile girl. Jews and gentiles, especially Jewish women with children and single gentiles who were indeed at risk for being victims of unscrupulous men, did not trust each other back then. No sane Hebrew would've trusted that any unscrupulous man would not use any gentile to get to her and her children.]

As far back as 1776, around the 1787 Hungarian deadline for Jews to take surnames. Also, read again-- "if we were Catholic in Diosgyor, that would've followed us to Zlata Idka. It didn't. You even said that no parish records exist until Zlata Idka, and parish records surely would've followed us because- were we gentile- surely we and/or Diosgyor would've wanted the parish records to follow us to distinguish us from Jews."



We are Jews; those Rusnaks were relatives; and we don't need to convert back to Non-Messianic Judaism-- I by no means indicate falling away or reversion, lest we do exactly what Hebrews 6:4-6 warns against.

The Zlata Idka parish records show Catholic Rusnaks, Foskos and Hanzoks as far back as 1776. The Rusnaks who died in the Holocaust could have been relatives, but we don't know. Your mom has a Shaw in her line, but separated by probably 10 generations from Jen.

If you still don't believe me, look up "Rusnak" and "Rusznak" in Kosice and Aranyidka (Zlata Idka) on Yad Vashem's website.

Hello Rusnak Family,



I know there has been interest in the past few years to gather some family info on health history and have it available for everyone. Being blessed with so many medical professionals in the family, we are armed the right folks to lead us in this task. So....food for thought for next year (we'll want to talk about how we can best go about it this year)...I can create a tab and sheet in the directory for family medical history, so no one has the daunting task of researching family history while overwhelmed with a medical issue. I would love ideas and feedback on how we can best approach this objective.



In the meantime, please see [Censored]'s note below....thank you!

Kvetching About the Casey Anthony Verdict and Other Subjects

1. Look at unemployment numbers and other things. When the jury decided to go after the majority in and of the world to do evil (cf. Ex 23:2) and disregard tzedek (cf. Micah 6:8), the United States felt the crunch.
2. Bernie Goldberg pointed out that Geraldo Rivera would feel differently if a border agent murdered a Mexican immigrant. In a reverse and real-life case, a Mexican immigrant murdered a 15-year-old girl as opposed to a border agent, but I wonder how Geraldo feels about that as well (and I hope that this explains the parallel which I was trying to draw).
3.  Southern Sudan and the Supreme Court pointlessly stood up to a part of the inevitable one-world government (cf. Daniel 7:23-28), but at least the Supreme Court stood up to an organization which the US could disband if Dani'el's prophecy weren't going to be fulfilled anyway (As for Sudan, that's another discussion.).

So Let Her Dock My Grade; She Claims That She Wants Our Reflections re Her Sociology Class

My honest reflection on the Sociology class necessitates that my professor and others find me stating in no uncertain terms that I found the class to be a (so to speak) refresher crash course on just how bad liberalism and relativism is. Not that the like the Far Right, either; but if I were a Far Righter, sitting in that class and reading the propaganda of Drs. Kerry Ferris and Jill Stein would affect me so that I would come to hate sociology and sociologists, relativism and relativists, and liberalism and liberals altogether. I understand that The Real World (both the hidden-curriculum manifesto put together by Drs. Ferris and Stein, and the actual world itself) is more on the George Sorosesque (e.g., MoveOn.org) and Charles Darwinian side than any other side; but talk about verstehen, tolerance, etc.--there was obviously none of that for traditional, Jewish-Christian, and moderate-conservative worldviews and cultures in the book or the class.

This Might Get Me Into Trouble, But Here Goes My Next Sociology Assignment

"Imagine that you are getting married next week..." and coupled with an assignment that asks, "Where do you stand on the issue [of Affirmative Action]?" When I format the combined assignments into a paper (and I'm going to combine the assignments to save time, paper, and frankly a too-long explanation), I'm not going to type everything that I am typing here. Why? For one thing, calling a professor "stupid" and "hypocritical" would get me into trouble. So I'm going to have to reword my belief that for a liberal professor who is liberal (and you can spell that with a L-I-B-E-R-A-L), relativistic (and you can spell that with a R-E-L-A-T-I-V-I-S-T-I-C), and obviously leftist (and you know what you can spell that with); she sure is a hypocrite and foolishly dense- then again, with Far Leftists like that (and Far Rightists in a parallel way); the old "We're [whatever] for [or to, etc.] you so long as you're for [or to, etc.] us" maxim goes. In other words, for example; one will benefit from Affirmative Action given or applied to him or her by whoever gives or applies said Affirmative Action so long as he or she walks in nearly- or entirely-full lockstep with the Affirmative Action giver.

Affirmative Action, like the ADA (designed by the late Senator Ted Kennedy in order to get the Disabled Community's votes and (so to speak) bites on the welfare hooks), is a ploy used by both sides to (as Juan Williams noted in the example of Herman Cain's case, and so to speak) keep the sheep in the pen or gate. Meanwhile, Jews like me don't get Affirmative Action benefits, anyway; so what's the point? I note that I'm Asian on my applications, then specify "Middle Eastern, Jewish- Ashkenazi", anyway. I also note that I'm Hispanic (which I am), since Nana Allen (my mom's paternal grandmother) was a maternal granddaughter of a Crypto-Spaniard Irelander who came to the United States with his Irish wife (MaryAnn Elizabeth McCoy) and took Nana McCoy's surname as well as the moniker "John".

But for example, at College of Note Dame of Maryland (which is soon to be the bastion of liberalism known as the Notre Dame of Maryland University); being a Jew of Hispanic descent doesn't count anyway, and being disabled doesn't count (and not that the Disabled Community gets Affirmative Action benefits, either)- that is; unless you're a Jew who wills to go along with the Pseudo-Christian Anti Semitism of the Roman Catholic Church (and College of Notre Dame of Maryland), or a Hispanic or Disabled Community member (with all due respect to a fellow student) who is either willing to do the same or is even Roman Catholic and liberal (and this fellow student, as far as I know, is- at least she's Roman Catholic, although I'm sure that she's unsurprisingly liberal as well; and I have never seen a more accomodated-for member of the Disabled Community who is at Notre Dame than her. Me, on the other hand- you can guess how I've been treated and accomodated for; and any accomdation that I have gotten is either minimal and/or surface enough to look like its meets what most people think that the ADA is, or received with my and others having to really push for it.).

By the way, I will concede that at least two NDM faculty members have been an exception in this regard, even though they don't agree with my ideology (and one of them has not been so much of an exception in other regards). To the (if you will) "marriage question" (ugh; I sound like Marx or- I can't believe that I'm repeating this name- Hitler, both of them Self-Hating Jews. And of course, "the Jewish question" or any similar phrase or idea behind it rubs me the wrong way. Anyway, to the question about marriage- which perhaps doesn't sound too much better; but still): this is the (if you will) factor about which I stated that the professor is (among other adjectives which I used to describe her) stupid and dense. Then again, with her (like most people) not being disabled (at least in any uncommon or anamethea way); she wouldn't know (or at least want to know or acknowledge) that (and often times because of people like her and the culture which they shape and are influenced by in turn, although they effect the culture whereas the culture only affects them), in this culture, Cinderella and Snow White have a better chance of marrying than a child of divorce who is a disabled woman, much less a disabled woman is not a child of divorce (and being a child of divorce adds to the disabled woman's being a damned statistic of being a disabled person and/or woman who, because of this culture and the people who shape it, never marry- or at least never stay married, especially because of the damned shallow men and women who consider disabled women as anamethea and as whom to not stay married, much less marry in the first place).

To Begin, Pop-Pop's A Murderer As Well as A Self-Dreading Jew Who Is Ungrateful To His Philosemitic gentile Mother

"Czarnecki" was actually a change in our name. We actually were "Chernetski" before my great-granddad Czarnecki's parents converted to avoid the pogroms, then were kicked off the family farm in Lipsk nad Biebrza because of said conversion. They took "Czerniecki", "Czarniecki", and other variants before settling on "Czarnecki" when they assimilated as Anusim in Sugar Notch, PA; and they never returned to Lipsk, Tsuman (where Great-Granddad was born while his mom was visiting Andrulewicz (Andrulevich) relatives in Buzhanka, Kiev area), or anywhere else in Poland or the Ukraine for even a visit. I didn't even know any of this until I began family research and confronted my dad's dad (John "Jack" Czarnecki) about hiding all of it.

Great-Granddad was Antoni Jan Julianowicz Chernetski, the oldest son and child of Julian Jan Antoniowicz "Felix" and Aleksjondria Alicja Antoniowicza Chernetski (respectively; the son of Antoni and Katarzyna Danilowicza Chernetski, and the daughter of Antoni "Anthony" and Katarzyna "Katherine" Morgewicza (Margiewicza) Andrulewicz). When Great-Granddad came here with his mom to join his dad (who had already joined relatives who had splintered off into Sugar Notch from the group of Chernetskis that came here- and many of whom splintered off into Jersey City, NJ and other parts besides Sugar Notch); he along with his parents had his name Americanized into "Anthony Czarnecki" (1910 Census), which was (with his middle name, "Jan", Americanized into "John") the final name that he was given and/or stuck with (1920 Census: "Anthony Chernetski"; 1930 Census: "John Czarnecki", sent away to a mental asylum in Wood River, Illinois).

By the way (I'm kvetching here; but this is a keep-in-mind thing), from what I understand, the-now Alexandria Alice Andrulewicz Czarnecki was a wicked woman who was part of what affected and effected him to be at Wood River in the first place. When the-now Julian John Czarnecki (with his name given as "Julian Czarniecki" on his death certificate) died on September 11, 1922 (and Great-Granddad was only 17 when his dad died); Alexandria took over the household with an iron fist- not that she didn't have one before (since Julian was a schicker, and she manipulated that), but she took over- and began influencing then-to-be-18-year-old Anthony and his America-born siblings (Regina, 13, dead by four laters later; Alexandria Alice, to be 12 on September 28; Stanislaw "Stanley" Peter, 10; John Felix, 9; Edward L., 7; Joseph Paschal, 5; Bernard, 2; and Cecelia, 9 months old) nuts.

This becomes important when you track down and realize that, for example: 

1. They were indeed Anusim, and dropped mixed-bag hints at that. In other words, you had to really think about the names (among other things) as hints to figure that out. (e.g., Notice any "Mary"s in there? Remember that an ancient Jewish- and still a Sefardi Jewish- practice is to name relatives even after still-living family members?)
2. The names become extremely important when you have to keep track of who went where. For example; as I recall finding out, Great-Granduncle Stanley fled to Nanticoke with his then-new-wife, Theresa Makarczyk, around the time that Great-Granddad himself came back to Sugar Notch and married the gentile Mary Trudnak (which, as you can imagine, pissed off Mama Alexandria off! In fact, for such a seemingly-Catholic wedding, there's no preist's signature on and no returned filed for the marriage license of Anthony John and Mary Trudnak Czarnecki!). By the way, why Great-Granduncle Stanley fled: Mama Alexandria wasn't hassling only daughter-in-law Mary. Besides, there were cousins in Nanticoke, so he had connections there if and when push ever came to shove (which it did).     

Great-Granddad with Dad on his lap; Great-Grandma with Aunt Mary, named for Great-Grandma and also Great-Grandma Marysia "Mary" Elizabeth Rusnak Gaydos. The Virgin Mary was far from receiving kavod from Pop-Pop (far left, next to his brother James "Jim" Julian. By the way, I told you that the naming was part of the hint dropping.).

 Not that Dad will admit that he didn't like his own "Pop-Pop" Czarnecki ("Like dad, like son" in more ways than one); but he didn't like him (and can you blame him? "Tony", Sr. took on after a certain Mama Alexandria). As the old wisdom goes; unless you really commit to conciously being the opposite of whom you dislike, you end becoming the next generation of whom you claimed that you did not want to be (and did Dad ever become like my "Pop-Pop" Czarnecki, who was like "Pop-Pop" Tony, Sr. Czarnecki!)

"Doesn't seem too upset at his.." "Grandfather Czarnecki"! Sure; he doesn't; or else he wouldn't have hidden that last part of the caption when he scanned in the photo (for which I had to fight with him); right, Grandma?. By the way, perhaps I will quote the proverb- and G-d forgive me- "Like mother, like daughter". And Grandma; who knows? Maybe, as happens as well, you even married someone like your mother- at least in some ways. Well, betraying relatives during the Shoah puts Great-Grandma Gaydos up there with Pop-Pop, no matter how (as Aunt Mary put it) kind and sweet she (apparently) was (otherwise?). Or maybe Pop-Pop is up there with Great-Grandma Gaydos (Who knows? I'm kvetching by now.).

By the way, Dad had a broken collarbone at the time- he had fallen out of a high chair.

"Slow and Steady Wins Races", as My Ex Points Out

 And that's one of the things that we learn with CP: thank G-d that we can't do as much in some ways. e.g., my non-disabled cousin Tommy Zinkand had the opportunity to ride a motorcycle and convinced himself that he was invincible. On June 26, 2005; he was going too fast and hit a minivan body on. On Sunday; six years will have passed (Poor Danny and Terri. Danny's his dad, Terri his sister.). By the way, that side of my Farrell-DeBoy family has not had life easy: besides Tommy, Danny's wife (and Terri's and Tommy's mom) Sylvia, cousin (and my aunt) Mary Carole Allen Hamilton, and brother-in-law (and Terri's and Tommy's uncle) Danny Dugas all died at around this time of year as well (Aunt Mary Carole on Flag Day 2008, and Danny Dugas a week ago, and Sylvie (Sylvia)... let me check... April 28, 2010. Not an easy couple of months to get through for the Farrell-DeBoy Zinkands.).

Part of My Correspondence With a True Reform Jew (i.e., One Who's Really Reforming Modern Judaism)

However, I'm going to censor out his or her name for the interim, since he or she has not yet responded to this:

Hey... (v'Shabbat Shalom!):




Thanks for the response, and I apologize for delaying in my own response. Meanwhile, I think that a good topic to cover at present would be the Casey Anthony case and the death penalty; especially because a prominent fellow Jew of ours, Geraldo Rivera, seems to unfortunately be in lockstep with URJ policy per the death penalty and is forgetting how Torah and arguably tikun ha'olam (which certainly includes tzedek) requires that Casey be convicted and get the death penalty per nefesh l'nefesh- and how any other premeditating and remorseless murderer should get the death penalty.



I think that one of the things that many- including the URJ (including Geraldo) forgets is that the death penalty is not a bloodlust-based idea or easy sanction to carry out for any Jewish or gentile person who loves Torah. To carry out nefesh l'nefesh is killing someone, and taking a life of even the most vile person is hard especially because we're all family (per Adam and Eve, and Noah) and there is a special kind of "What could have been?" heartbreak in having to execute a fellow family member who could have chosen to do the right thing instead of murder someone and attempt to evade and/or pervert tzedek (and Casey obviously chose to pervert tzedek instead of love and raise Caylee).



Nicole Czarnecki

To Geraldo Rivera's Producer, Christina Timothy

CT, morality sometimes takes precedence over the Constitution and other US law (and obviously is not in line with it at the time). Especially as a Jew, Geraldo ought to know that. In this case, he's behaving to a lesser degree and in a different but parallel way to my great-grandmother Gaydos- that is, Great-Grandma Gaydos cost the lives of relatives who died in the Holocaust because she followed US isolationist policy and did not send them the help which they requested; and in a similar way, Geraldo is costing Caylee's life and justice all the more.

My Sociology Assignment For Tonight- "Prestigia, Populus, et Familia— aka, Chapter 8 Work All Bundled Into One Cohesive and Biographical Narrative"

Prestigia, Populus, et Familia— aka, Chapter 8 Work All Bundled Into One Cohesive and Biographical Narrative


To begin, I could not even begin to list all of the different-class people about whom I know or who I know. In other words, I know about and know too many people in different classes than me to even have a simple, all-added-up list. In fact, I come from that kind of background. So, let me begin with my story— in short, anyway (and this is not off topic).

My paternal granddad is John “Jack” Gregory Czarnecki, the first-surviving newborn child and son of his parents (The first child and son— the first Anthony “Tony”, Jr. — died two days after his birth in 1934 or 1935.). After him came my granduncles Francis “Frank” (1940-1985), James “Jim”, and the second Anthony “Tony”, Jr..

Like his brothers and mom, and unlike his dad; he was born in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania into a lower American class. His dad (Tony, Sr.), on the other hand, was a Crypto-Jewish pogrom survivor and assimilationist who came to Sugar Notch via Ellis Island after his parents were outcasted by their family still in Poland Russia. Tony, Sr. also moved from relatively-fair circumstances on the family farm in Lipsk nad Biebrza to life in a rented house on 132 Main (now North Main) Street in Sugarloaf, to considerably-comfortable circumstances as the son of the coalminer who owned 203-207 (excluding 204 and 206) Freed Street in Sugar Notch.

Jack, meanwhile, lived at 203 with his parents and brothers while his paternal uncle Joe lived at 205 and his paternal aunt Alexandria Alice (who was a widow with one son— John, Jr.) lived at 207 (where she also tended to his paternal grandmother— her ailing mother—from March 28 to April 6, 1936). A 1958 graduate of King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, he married the two-year nursing student known Joan Adele Gajdos (Gaydos) on September 23, 1959 at Sugar Notch’s Holy Family Roman Catholic Church.

Joan Adele Gaydos, meanwhile, is the third daughter and middle child of Michael Gaydos, Jr. and Marysia “Mary” Elizabeth née Rusnak. Like her dad and all of her siblings, she was born in Luzerne County. Her mom, on the other hand, was born in Crabtree in Westmoreland County; where her parents, Andrew Stephen Rusnák (of the prominent Jewish Rusnák family in Košice, Slovakia) and Julia née Fosko first settled in America and married each other on July 29, 1905.

Joan, meanwhile, lived at 112 Brown Street in Ashley and only visited 163 Hughes Street in Swoyersville, where Mary had lived and returned to for the birth of her first daughter and child (Helen Margaret Gaydos Wojnar, R.N.; 1930-2006). After Joan converted from Crypto-Jewish Slovakian Byzantine Catholicism to Crypto-Jewish Roman Catholicism, and moved with Jack to Glen Burnie in Maryland; she was no longer the hopelessly-disinherited descendant of Crypto Jews that she had grown up being. She was a mother of four children (one who was sadly miscarried in 1975), the wife of one of the IRS Agents who had served Nixon tax papers, a sister of a RN and Dr. Mary Ann Gaydos at Mansfield State College, and the sister-in-law of an IBM worker (Jim Czarnecki) and a public accountant (Tony Czarnecki, Jr.).

Meanwhile, Jack’s and Joan’s son Gregory “Greg” Matthew Czarnecki came from living at Marley Station Road in Glen Burnie to earning a graduate degree in Maryland. He had married and later divorced Cecilia née Allen, one of eleven (including two sadly-miscarried) children of Loyola University professor Francis Xavier Allen (whose income went into providing for himself and his family) and homemaker Mary Ellen née Pundt (a high-school graduate who had at least four of her children still living at home when Professor Allen died on Thanksgiving Eve of 1974). Greg obviously married economically down to some extent (although Cecilia was working and still works at NASA, though she has an Associate’s and almost a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Systems), and Cecilia married economically up (at least at the time; and to make a long story short, she also married morally down).

In conclusion, I could go on and give you kol hamegillah; but I think that you get the point— that my family is of, and family history involves, all sorts of socioeconomic classes and socioeconomic mobilizations. Meanwhile, I would choose prestige over power and wealth— besides, as has been a hackneyed point, prestige can give one wealth and power. Prestige is also lasting and defines— and sometimes even is or is the result of— one’s legacy whereas wealth and power are fleeting and ultimately meaningless compared to prestige.

The Cops Listened In Illegally On Casey Anthony's Conversation? Re Roy Kronk

In the words of Jose Baez, "The answer is simple": the cops listened in legally either way; whether the way be that an inmate heard the Baez-Anthony conversation and (in street talk) snitched (By the way, I'm 21 and had no idea that "Zani" is street talk for "Xanax"- which goes to show how worldly Casey Anthony is compared to me. Anyway, either an inmate heard and snitched), or the cops (or corrections officers or whoever else) had a classified (secret) warrant from Judge Perry (since judges issue warrants, and Judge Perry would've had to have issued a non-Terry or  -Pringle, or other circumstanial or circumstance-mandated warrant).

Either way, Roy Kronk's girlfriend had the right to hear the police-given information and tip off the county (or community; either way, public worker) meter reader.

OCD On My Worse Days

Click the title. And no cheating. Hint: it's a metaphor.

Civil Rights Icon Clarence Clemmons Deceased at 69

All I knew is that he had a sudden stroke, and (as they broke it on the news during Justice With Judge Jeanine) died from said stroke and complications thereof at 69 years old while he was in a Palm Beach, FL hospital; thus, he ended his career. I didn't think about him being a Civil Rights icon until I thought about the following a little further: he was a legendary saxophone player beginning in 1972, just as the Vietnam War was going to end (in 1974) and four years after a Black Republican who Bruce Springsteen wouldn't see eye-to-eye with on many issues (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) died.

So, a bandmate and friend of a White Democrat coming on the heels of a prominent Black Republican icon in the Civil Rights and Vietnam Era is pretty significant, and his or her death would thus be significant. Therefore, a Black saxophonist in a often-labeled "secular" field and in a band led by a very-liberal White Democrat left a legacy of being a breakthrough man or pioneer, and a stark contrast to the D.Div. holder who was obviously a Modern Conservative (Classical Liberal) and in a often-labeled "sacred [as if anything else isn't sacred] field.

Here's a Hell of A Statistic

At least two of my great-grandma Gaydos (née Marysia Elizabeth Rusnak)'s Fosko uncles (Ferencz "Frank, Sr." and András "Alexander") committed suicide (His death is mentioned in the title-linked document. Great-Great-Granduncle Frank hung himself and was found dead in his shed on February 11, 1935). That's how I know that their dad, István "Stephen" Fosko, committed suicide: two of six sons are known to have committed suicide, and he died in 1905 when he was 45- you cannot tell me that 1/3 sons committing suicide does not point to the died-young dad having committed suicide.

There Were A Couple Times Where I Thought About Committing Suicide Today. Why?

1. I am a diagnosee of OCD/Anxiety/Depression and Diplegic Spastia Cerebral Palsy, and self diagnosee of IBS (I know what I have; thank you very much. My dad has Chron's, and my granddad has had Chron's- but not that he'll admit it- and Colon Cancer).
2. I am housestuck and single especially because of the Cerebral Palsy.
3. I am housestuck and single because said CP renders me unable to drive.
4. My mom sides with and/or enables my abusers and persecutors, and gets angry when I confront them; and takes advantage of the fact that I have Cerebral Palsy, can't drive, and am single. Thus, I am still stuck in her house.
5. My dad and quite a few in his family are evil, enablers of evil, and both.

I could give more reasons, but you get the point.

I'm Not Wishing My Dad Something That He Doesn't Deserve

Last night, after Hannity; I decided to go outside while Donald Trump was blabbing on On the Record and my sister was blabbing on the phone. When outside, I called my dad and told him what he needed to be told: that I wish him and Cindi a miserable anniversary (June 20), and him a miserable Dad's Day. I slipped and told my mom, who was pissed. After she told me to go to my room (and I'm 21 for goodness' sake), I had the following conversation with her:

...

Well; crap; I forgot to save the conversation. The point of it, meanwhile? Mom is not as successful as nothing-to-hide Kara Dioguardi, the martyrs such as Jan Hus and John Wycliffe (without whom she'd still be stuck in the Roman Catholic Church, and this time unsaved to boot), and those who want to stop Dad from hurting me and others.

Why Tanakh (including "[Brit] Hadashah") is the Word of G-d

1. "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you." (Deuteronomy 4:2, JPS)
2. "All this word which I command you, that shall ye observe to do; thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it." (Deuteronomy 13:1)
3. "Every word of God is tried; He is a shield unto them that take refuge in Him. Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." (Proverbs 30:5-6)

I could give other parshot (readings, verses); but you get the point. Meanwhile:

14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.' {P}

(Y'hoshu'a 24, JPS)

The picture is linked to in the title of the blog entry. Tim, are you looking at it? Meanwhile, how Casey Anthony will get out of using George Anthony's phone in an unauthorized way- i.e., to contact a convicted kidnapper- is made only harder by Casey's trying to say that both George and Casey contacted the kidnapper. And not to Casey could do better, anyway. She's already set this case for herself. And the charges: First-degree murder with intent thereof, aggravated child abuse and infanticide, possession and use of paraphernalia (chloroform), conspiracy to commit and cover up the aforementioned crimes, perjury, lying to police, grand larceny, fraud, embezzlement (re the check), and other charges.

I have already proven to you that there are Bible verses in Deuteronomy and Proverbs that say don't add and take away from these "INDIVIDUAL BOOKS". Since you like to believe the Bible was written entirely in one sitting and don't see the obvious result of your logic that would prove the New Testament, I guess it is pointless to discuss such simple historical facts with you.

I really resent you calling the LDS church a racist organization. That just shows how much of an uneducated religious bigot you are. I could just as easily call Judaism a race supremacist organization and have far more realistic and tangible evidence to support it. The fact is is that there is more non-white Mormons than white Mormons in the world with over 50,000 missions all over the world!! Where are the Jewish missionaries? There LDS temples in Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa!!!

Can we say "Mormonism fail"?

A Self-Hating-Jewish Mormon Is Pursuing Me, and Geraldo Rivera Has Become a URJ Antimissionary?

First, the Self-Hating-Jewish Mormon and Mormon missionary (not to mention, on the other hand, an Antimissionary- i.e., an Anti-Christian, Anti-Messianic Jew): EscapeNewJersey. Frank (That's his name.), lo toda: yo soy una yehudi'ah mesjikhi'ah; no quiero ser una mormona (and Spanish and Hebrew at the same time; there you go.). As for Geraldo Rivera being under URJ influence: re death-penalty opposition and Andrea Yates.

I'm Not Giving Up On Great-Grandma Czarnecki Until I Die or Get Raptured

As I stated in my latest video description: "And we let Casey Anthony get hammered when Pop-Pop is still walking...Yuck!..." To leave a murder from February 12, 2007 unprosecuted because we're too damned dreadful of Pop-Pop while we criticize Caylee Anthony's murder and all the other avodah zarah looks bad on us. And so what if Pop-Pop harassed the key witness after the Luzerne County DA called him to further inquire of him as the accused? We have more blood on our hands than Pop-Pop himself originally did because we won't prosecute him- and unavenged blood does replenish and have multiplying blood cells. For example:

‘The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’ (Numbers 14:18)

By the way, as a Diasporan Jew, I should know: I have thorns in the flesh such as a hemmerhoid and IBS, and OCD/Anxiety/Depression all because of the sins of my ancestors (cf. Leviticus 26:14-42 and Deuteronomy 28:15-68). Also, keep in mind that the Diaspora is only beginning to end. See Congregation Yeshuat Yisrael's study on the End Times.  

By the Way, Sometimes My Video Descriptions (Like This One) Get Longer Than the Videos

From now on, I'm posting video descriptions that are long (especially longer than the videos which they describe) as blog entries as well. By the way, the video for which this description was written is linked to in the title:

The lighting is much better in my room (and by the way- surprise!- I look Whiter than I normally do; when I'm "piss stained" or yellow (not Yellow) looking (to be fair to Yellow- Asian- ethnic groups. By the way, the Indians and Middle Easterners- of whom I am a part as a Jew or Israeli, even in the Diaspora- are whole other ethnic groups from Asians, and that's a whole other- or as we say in Baltimore, "a whole nother"- discussion).




Meanwhile, I'm still organizing my room (I've been taking a summer class and been busy.); and I want to remind everyone (even my haters, who I can still report and block if I need to) that I have a Facebook page. Y'all; 61 friend requests are too much. If you all aren't family, closer friends, disabled people (who I should've mentioned because I'd be stupidly remiss if I didn't add disabled people, because I have Cerebral Palsy), or even celebrities who have taken an interest in me as a public figure (apparently, Karl Rove and a few others have), and anyone else that I mention; please like the following page first:

As a Ashkenazic Jewish "mamzerah" who comes from a Crypto-Jewish and Messianic Jewish, and Frankish-Gaelic-Slavic and Spanish (Sephardic?) Catholic (Roman and Byzantine) background; and having my eyes opened by 9/11 and doing a lot of learning about and research on Mohammedism (Islam), I know of what I speak. As for Mormonism, same thing with Mohammedism, except I'd heard a lot and read Under the Banner of Heaven and have been to a Mormon (Secular, Non Orthodox (Non FLDS)) church. I am also currently attending a Roman Catholic school- my grandaunt Bern's alma mater, in fact. By the way, her brother Aloysius Ignatius "Steve" Allen and aunt Agnes G. "Sr. M. Rosalita" Reilly (OSM) were clergy in the Roman Catholic Church.

Catholicism (perhaps excepting Byzantine Catholicism to some careful extent), Mormonism, "Rabbin"ical Judaism, and Mohammedism are all on the same vein: they are all cults. For example:

1. All add to The Scriptures. Roman Catholicism and any denomination below Conservative Judaism deny TaNaKH (Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, v'Hadashah) as the Direct, Dictated, Written-Down-As-Instructed Word of God. In my Religious Studies classes and in the Reform Jewish Pittsburgh Platform, Tanakh has been called anything from "man's response to experiencing [or to an experience with] God]" and a mix of truth and myths and legends (Roman Catholic), to (and I quote from the document to which this blog entry's title links): "a system of training the Jewish people for its mission during its national life in Palestine...[as] all such Mosaic and rabbinical laws as regulate diet, priestly purity and dress originated in ages and under influences of ideas altogether foreign to our present mental and spiritual state...."
2. As for Haredi ("Orthodox") and Conservative Judaism, Mohammedism, and Mormonism; they add Talmud (and as I said, any denomination below these will group Tanakh with Talmud as "originated in ages and under influences of ideas altogether foreign to our present mental and spiritual state"), the Qur'an (and Googling it would be enough; but read this at your own risk: I am not touching it if I don't have to), and the Book of Mormon (Moroni) (as I said about the Qur'an, so I say about the Book of Moroni. By the way, see Galatians 1:6-12).
3. Catholicism adds to the very Tanakh to they attempt to skewer: i.e., the Apocrypha and Pseudographia (which both the Council of Yavneh (Jamnia) (80 AD (BCE)) and the Council of Nicea (325 AD (BCE)) rejected. Only the LXX (Septuagint) included the Apocrypha and Pseudographia as part of Tanakh. The Apocrypha and Pseudographia could be seen as Talmud Yavani (the Greek Talmud)).

I'll write more later.   

You Didn't Tell Me How The Story Ends, Mom

So, Geri Jewell has Cerebral Palsy and she's a success in Hollywood, then gets married. Yeah; but has she appeared in much since then? And you didn't tell me the other part, Mom: she got divorced and is now a lesbian who hasn't had too much success as even a speaker since. And these comments are from the article on her:

There has to be a truth in advertising law for actors in TV shows - in order to prevent gays from pretending to be non-gays.

Dear Haters: Just 'cause U couldn't "Make It" in H-Wood is no reason to go all nasty, evil, jealous, envious, blah, blah, blah. Or, maybe it is, since that's all you "got", eh? How's that working out for ya? Geri is AWE-SUM as a person, actor & inspirational comedic phenom. She has the goods to work through real--I know!---physical pain, be honest, forthright, funny AND do so with grace & dignity. Can't say that about, well, most people. GERI ROX! (Don't bother retorting, haters; I'd almost feel guilty for making your tainted brains try to think, like real hard, & be clever. As if.)

First of all never end a sentence with "of", it's a dangling participle. Secondly, if you believe in the God I believe in, he loves us ALL. Try searching for forgiveness for your ignorance in your Bible, sweetie pie.

If reading the bible works for you, that's great - but it doesn't work for everybody. I personally prefer a book with some facts in it, but I do respect the rights of others who find solace and comfort in reading the bible.

I've never understood if being gay is normal and ok why those in the public eye have to come out of the closet and explain how they have struggled. This may be a news flash but everyone struggles no matter what your orientation or creed. Some of us don't have any special protections to use as a crutch.

Ok so lets be realistic. You talk of social pressures, thats called life and I would say that they are heterosexuals that do experience more pressures than homosexuals. Every person is different. Some have more issues than others thats just the way it is. I'd refer you to people horribly burned so bad that they scare adults. How much social pressure do you think they get? I guarantee it's nothing like the typical person.

This does not give me hope, Mom.

Carolin "Cora" Berger Deceased After Sixth Breast Augmentation: I Have One Key Question

If she's Jewish, what will her beit din and shul do? Whether Carolin Berger is a Jewish "Berger" and not just a German "Berger" is what I tried to find out after I first read the news of her death on AOL. Searching on Google and reading through quite a few articles, all I can conclude is that her husband (Tim Berger) may be Jewish; and if he is, his beit din and shul has to decide on the halakhah involved in his wife's case.

From what I've read, Jews with tattoos were forbidden to be buried in Jewish cemeteries unless the tattoos were forced on them (i.e., in the Shoah, in a trafficking ring). Nowadays, Jews with tattoos can be buried in at least Non-Haredi P'rushi (i.e., Non-"Hasidic"; Non-Orthodox P'rushi) cemeteries. Meanwhile, no Jew who committed suicide- P'rushi, Anusi, or otherwise- unless due to circumstances like the Shoah (i.e., that horrible day known as Kristallnacht on which many Jews did commit suicide) could be buried in a Jewish cemetery. The suicide ruling still applies.

On a side note, by the way, Great-Granddad Czarnecki (born Chernetski) was an Anusi Ashkenazi Yehudi who was an Anusi from the time that his parents became Anusim during the pogroms (He was 2 or 3 then.) to the time that he committed suicide on December 2, 1964. He's a case of an Anusi who would not allowed to have been buried in a Jewish cemetery, even if he became a "ba'al teshuvah"- although the only real  ba'alot teshuvot are Meshichim Yehudim,  but that's another discussion.

Meanwhile, back to Carolin Berger: so, she will not have tattoos held against her (as far as I know) and she did not commit suicide. Then again, would unnecessary breast augmenting be considered indirect or second-degree suicide? Meanwhile, unless the breast augmentation is held as suicide, she will have it apply to her only as tattoos would (as far as I know).

By the way, Yahadut Kara'i (Karaite Judaism) and Yahadut Meshichi work differently than Yahadut P'rushi (Yahadut "Rabbanit").

In Case You're Wondering About Jewish Surnames

Grant that Tracy R. Rich is not right about all this, by the way. I have thoroughly researched this beyond JewFAQ.org, which I should note also has a Haredi P'rushi bias. Meanwhile, for example:

A lot of the surnames that sound Jewish to Americans are simply German names such as Klein, Gross or Grossman, Weiss or Weisman, Rosen, Schwartz or Schwartzman, Segal, Siegal or Sagal, and anything that contains berg, stein, man, thal or bluth. German surnames are very common among American Jews, and many people seem to have inferred the converse: if most Jews have German surnames, then most people with German surnames must be Jews. The reasoning is appealing on a gut-level but logically flawed. Consider this absurd but logically identical argument: most Jews have ten fingers, therefore most people with ten fingers must be Jews. 

"Siegal" and other variants may actually be like "Katz"- variants or acronyms of kohein, kohen, etc. Also, "Levy" and other variants are, with perhaps a 0.01% exception, always a variant of Levi (As I said, JewFAQ.org has a Haredi P'rushi bias, and Tracy R. Rich has no problem attempting to delegitimize  Patrilineal and Messianic Jews.).



As for the following:

Russian and Polish surnames are also often assumed to be Jewish surnames, for example names ending in -vitz, -witz, or -sky. It is commonly believed that "-sky" is a Jewish surname while "-ski" is not. This spelling difference, however, seems do have more to do with the source of the surname: Russia or Poland. The correct spelling of this common surname suffix in Polish is "-ski", and Poles usually kept that spelling after immigration to America. In Russia, this suffix is spelled in the Cyrillic alphabet, , and may have been transliterated into English as either -ski or -sky. However, a Jewish friend of mine who comes from Moscow tells me that in Russia, names ending in were usually Jewish. 

I can tell you that records from sources such as Ancestry.com and JewishGen.org show that Non (Non-цкий) could be and were Jewish as well. She also missed "cki", "czki", etc.

There are other disclaimers about Tracy R. Rich and JewFAQ, but the linked-to JewFAQ page is like Wikipedia: a good start and for at least some of the basics.

A Reminder To Jewish Supremacists And Anti Missionaries: We're No Better Than the Goyim, and Many of Whom Blaspheme HaShem Because of You

4 Speak not thou in thy heart, after that the LORD thy God hath thrust them out from before thee, saying: 'For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land'; whereas for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. 5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that He may establish the word which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 6 Know therefore that it is not for thy righteousness that the LORD thy God giveth thee this good land to possess it; for thou art a stiffnecked people. 7 Remember, forget thou not, how thou didst make the LORD thy God wroth in the wilderness; from the day that thou didst go forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD. 8 Also in Horeb ye made the LORD wroth, and the LORD was angered with you to have destroyed you. 9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water. 10 And the LORD delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. 11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. 12 And the LORD said unto me: 'Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have dealt corruptly; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.' 13 Furthermore the LORD spoke unto me, saying: 'I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people; 14 let Me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.' 15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. 16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God; ye had made you a molten calf; ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you. 17 And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. 18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him. 19 For I was in dread of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me that time also. 20 Moreover the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him; and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. 21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and beat it in pieces, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.--

Even Marylin Manson Acknowledges The Following

Of course, Marylin Manson (as have most other Non Believers like Mr. Manson) acknowledged the following in the most vile way (and one which I still remember seeing on middle-school classmate Brad Heath's T Shirt):

The time is close; it is quite clear/The Antichrist is almost here

By the way, Brad Heath later got arrested for theft of a police car- all while we were still in middle school. But back to the point: so even vilely-unbeliving Marylin Manson (and perhaps Brad Heath) acknowledge the coming Seven Years known as the Tribulation. Apparently, that "time" is indeed "quite close", and it will not be a pretty one:

Israeli sources on Monday confirmed that the US proposed that Israel lease parts of the Jordan Valley from the Palestinians for an additional seven years, Army Radio reported.

According to the Monday report, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to the idea, but demanded that the arrangement be for a longer period of time than the original offer. "Seven years is not enough - an arrangement like this needs to last for dozens of years," Netanyahu said in closed talks, according to Army Radio.

YouTube user TaoistWarrior sent me the article, by the way; and informed me that the Seven Years begin when Israel gives to Palestine more than Palistinia (Philista) in Judah. I misinterpreted when I thought that a peace with the Arabs meant signing a simple treaty after 10 days of tribulation in Mitzrayim (cf. Deuteronomy 28:68, Revelation 2:8-11). But who knows? Maybe that that's what will lead up to the treay- if China wants to make the USA pay, maybe they'll send one of Israel's most vile haters human collateral for the US- American (and perhaps other, including any remaining Chinese) Jews (including Obama, whose late mother is Jewish- as I learned from a fellow Jew and Googled when I thought that she might be kidding or perhaps misread something).

Egypt has already banned marriages to Jews and has persecuted Christians. They may surely want to re-enslave who (or to them, what) will now be China's collateral holding on behalf of the USA. Meanwhile, we will either be sold or try to sell ourselves but Egypt won't buy us- even for or from China, or for or from the USA. After 10 days, somebody will get frustrated- and some of us may even die (Surprise! Another pogrom *rolls eyes*.).

Meanwhile, am I the only one who thinks that what I call Parshah 'Elah Tovah and Parshiot Beshlachah v'Yitro have been prophetic of Messiah (Yeshua, Jesus) coming soon? Also, the head video on the channel of taoistwarrior (who is, despite his screenname, a Messianic Jew) includes Revelation 4:8: "Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, Adonai Tzevaot Yahveh"  (The translation comes from Messianic.com and Hebrew4Christian.com.).

If Jews Don't Believe In Jesus; Does Jesus Not Believe In Himself? And Is Christianity Not At Least a Sect of Judaism?

As I've noted several times, the hackneyed "Jews don't believe in Jesus" line is getting older than it already is. It's as hackneyed or even more hackneyed than "Republicans are White, senior-citizen, Protestant Supremacists and chauvinists", and "Blacks and Hispanics are Democrats, and want nothing to do with 'Whitey' or 'el gringo'."

By the way, I'm surprised that the "gringo" line didn't get more flap on The O'Reilly Factor. I myself am happy that Jared Loughner was White (only because State Senator Russel Pearce and Governor Jan Brewer (R-AZ) both have egg on their WASP-Supremacist faces); but I am of course not happy that Rep. Giffords was shot (though if I were her, I'd take being persecuted by Jared Loughner as an honor), and I'm not happy that Daisy Hernandez referred to Whites as gringos.

Newsflash for Señorita Hernandez, by the way: los hispanos originales- the Spaniards and Portuguese- were considered "blanco". Latina America became latina only because of los iberianos. So, blanketing every White as a "gringo" is beschmirching muchas hispanas, none of whom (as far as we know) are at fault for what an Irish- or German-American Supremacist did (I am not sure of the origins of "Loughner" at this time, but I can tell you that you won't blanket in this española y judia in with that Anti-Hispanic, Anti-Semitic Loughner.).

Anyway, the hackneyed "Jews don't believe in Jesus" line is getting older than it already is. Even Jewish Globe recognizes that:

When the phrases Jewish Christians, Hebrew Christians and Christian Jews are used in a modern sense, they refer to people who have a Jewish heritage, culture or ancestry. However, such people follow Christian tenets and philosophy, rather than Judaism. The terms Jewish Christians and Christian Jews are also applied to those who have formally converted to the Christian faith, and to those who do not practice the Hebrew faith, due to the circumstances of their upbringing, for example. The appellation Christian Jews can be used for those who are Jewish, but have been absorbed into the Christian majority. Although Christian Jews and Messianic Jews both represent a blend of Judaism and Christianity, Christian Jews are quite different from Messianic Jews, who are definitely Jewish, and only differ from other Jews in that they believe that Jesus was the true Messiah.

Although Jewish Globe may not get that "Jewish Christian" and "Messianic Jewish" are synonmous, "Christian Jew" is not the best term to use (long story short, "Christian Jew" is to a Jewish Christian like "Catholic Pole" to a Polish Catholic), and Messianic Jews do not have to denominationally Messianic (and I myself am a Patrilineal Jew who is a PCA Presbyterian and was baptized Roman Catholic and raised Episcopalian); Jewish Globe at least recognizes the crux of the matter:

At least some Jews believe in Jesus; Jesus Believed In Himself, and Christianity is at least a sect of Judaism (if not considered as Fulfilled, Complete, or True Judaism).
