In a discussion with Reb Shlachter about how hard this split was for many gals/guys, he explained to me....

...and i wonder, why have we abandoned rabbi twerski (who sanctioned it btw) in favor of rav schlachter...

When did R' Twerski say the split was a bad idea? Do you mean the fact that he said it was ok to begin with?

I think that's what he means.

Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

i support the iron curtain because of what i said before about risks versus rewards of having a joined forum BUT i dont buy this newest thing from r schlachter...in fact i am offended by the suggestion...and i wonder, why have we abandoned rabbi twerski (who sanctioned it btw) in favor of rav schlachter...im sure the good rabbi and his teddy bears and unicorns works for some people and i am not by any means insinuating that his methods dont work for certain individuals but how did he become GYE's bet din tzedek?...

I think most of the interaction was completely innocent. However, I can still hear that it wasn't really healthy.

Am I imagining things, because I was under the impression that the interaction was only a secondary reason for the split? There is a far greater danger here at hand....

Originally R' Twerski was cool with it. Something nasty happened or was said - amd Guard ain't talkin. Guard spoke to his peeps - and he ain't sayin who and did the split because of the nasty. R' Shachter is just saying sevaras. Didn't happen because Guard saw the light of the sacred unicorn. 'Cause someone crossed the line in a nasty way. End of story (and nothing to do with that machah bizness either). Sans unicorn

In all seriousness (This would be my first serious post of the day) the one place where men and women were not separated in this site, is the 90 day chart.

There are some very important names conspiciously absent.

Habib?
Trying?
~~Letakain?~~
Yearning?

Where the heck are you?

And rage why are'nt you there either?

Rage is back up Girls where are you?

Thank you Letaiken, the rest of you girls?
