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:

Catholicism, Mormonism, "Rabbin"ical Judaism, and Mohammedism (Islam): All On the Same Vein

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.)

I would ask you to look at the hate meter when you post something....

1. I don't care if she's gay....that's not my job...

2. To call people nasty, evil, jealous, envious, blah, blah, blah....who is hating?

3. I don't need H'wood's "got".... period...ever

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.--
