R chaim in stencils i bet he was never yet mentioned by name on this forum


That must be because Talmudei Chachamim don't have a need for this site!  ;D
(Except for one Talmid Chochom who did not find Recovery through his Torah.....) 


Or maybe it is becuase we are afraid to mention Torah outside of the Beis Medrash Section of the Forum?

Someone asked (over the telephone) if Rav Shmuel Kaminetzki Shlita were asked about GYE & he gives a Haskama, but if an askan were to bring a computer to him & show him how supposedly Yeshivish guys on a website to help us with these aveiros are making jokes about it. What would he say?

I responded that we deal with the subject matter seriously. The jokes are about other stuff. They are necessary to make GYE an enjoyable place.


Where does this joke fit in??    Or was I wrong in my answer to him?

I recieved this via PM.


What does R' Chayim in stencils have to do with not bypassing my computer's filter? Woops! There, we mentioned it!




If the problems is in the cheftza, meaning the filter is broken then stencils wont help
If the problem is the gavra, meaning the gavra keeps compulsively looking to escape life by bypassing his filter then if the gavra can be exposed to the beauty and pleasure of the torah, possibly through learning the stencils then maybe he can use the torah as his preferred escape and not keep bypassing his filter

Yes, I also had this Yetzer Horah before I 'found' the internet. I just wanted to use a very generic term.

fyi i am actually a senior citizen from levov originally, and i used to watch Charlie chaplain on ellis island, while playing hopsies after buying a sugar-lick from the milk-man.

WHO is the young man here?

you probably wouldnt even admit that you never watched the silent films as a youngster!

and al capone and bugsy siegel and i, we'd all learn daf yomi together on easy street in the speakeasy

you think nowadays its hard to be a frum jew with all the po*rn and internet? what abt. when we were in volozhin during the prohibition!

oy so much to write, only time now for maybe one post
I'm doing well. Shmiras einayim is not good but not terrible. i'm clean;i attribute this to all the posting here, support of friends, and the healthy habbits that i am slowly incorporating into my life everyday. I also know i could thwart the shmiras einayim problem too if i had more time to re-read handbook, etc., just i'm very busy at this moment.
On the green egged bus boarded two ppl of the other gender. I wanted to look around. I held my self back.
Originally, i wanted to look, and I justified it by saying that if they (i'm being too general to avoid triggers) own something pretty, i can see what it is and ask my "family" to get it.
There are more than many reasons why this pattern of thinking is absolutely nuts and insane.
This is an example of my addictive mind.
I used logic to distort the illogical. I countered to the lust freak show addict inside of me as follows- Even if i do look, and they do have something i'd want my "family" to buy, who says it would satisfy me.
As a matter of fact, it wouldn't. Iv'e already spent too much money on this addiction, aside from the money i'd stolen long ago (in my teenage-BOCHUR YEARS) FROM OTHERS.
I never got satisfied except when i put all this stuff away or threw it away. Or gave it back.
And even if my "family" bought it, i would get the thrill for maybe a day, and then it'd signifacantly diminish. Part of what i want when i see someone else's thing, is the "someone else", if you know what i mean.
lastly, for lack of time, even if it helped me, i'd just see another thing tomorrow and want to repeat this whole process again, and what's the point.
And so i didnt look anymore.
