Sometimes that is all that it takes. <BR/><BR/>Who knows if me becoming religious will do the trick. I can find you a few blogs which will talk about Chassidic men beating and abusing their wives and children. Religion isn't the solution. It is only a piece of the answer, at least for me. The rest of the solution has to come from within.Zoe Strickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940789852735669214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-1115924091867860932005-05-12T14:54:00.000-04:002005-05-12T14:54:00.000-04:00Hi!

From the comment you left on my blog I knew we'd have a lot to talk about...<BR/><BR/>Television, albeit some of it raunchy & useless, can also be used to bring good things into your life. It can show love, understanding & the good side of humanity that we so often do not get to see.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry that this person you so liked does not have the same ideals as you, but fret not... She.. will come.<BR/><BR/>http://anonymouslybeautiful.blogspot.com/Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442249708470769634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-1115704846649572022005-05-10T02:00:00.000-04:002005-05-10T02:00:00.000-04:00ABsolutely...as have yours.

I have thought about so many things since stumbling upon your blog (and yes, you are only one of 2 blogs linked from my site that are not bipolar ones...I only put those I love and HAVE to keep up on there). I still think you should consider (even if as a side-project) publishing your ordeals. Many people would pick up such a book, and I think it would feel good for you to write as well.<BR/><BR/>goodnight,<BR/>K.Kileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798217022980718278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-1115703891586919692005-05-10T01:44:00.000-04:002005-05-10T01:44:00.000-04:00I didn't realize I answered this comment on your c...I didn't realize I answered this comment on your comment in the newer article with the signpost as its picture.<BR/><BR/>In short, the problem is time-wasting. As a fellow blogger, you know this could be a massive time drainer, and it has been. However, the end goal is also important, and since the end goal here is 1) to serve as a diary, 2) for self-growth and understanding, and 3) to affect others, blogging for the purposes you and I have used it for seem to have a very useful effect. After all, as you and I know from our private e-mails, your one blog entry has had an eye-opening life-altering effect. I can only imagine how many others have been touched by your blog entries. For this reason and the reasons I mentioned above, blogging would be permissible.Zoe Strickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940789852735669214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-1115675878287472842005-05-09T17:57:00.000-04:002005-05-09T17:57:00.000-04:00Well, I'm a little confused (perhaps you can more ...Well, I'm a little confused (perhaps you can more succinctly express by what you mean, because: the same things that would make television a "bad thing" to bring into your life would also make any/all non-work-related internet activity (including blogging) shunned by ultra-orthodox individuals. I actually saw an article somewhere on the internet awhile back (I will dig around for the link if you like, it should not be too hard to find though if you decide to check yourself) where several ultra-orthodox rabbis in new york spoke out against the abomination of internet use by followers. What is your opinion?<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/>ariKKileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798217022980718278noreply@blogger.com
