LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here" or "y y y"
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7)You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC.



OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

Sounds like your traditions are to study chabad chassidus then. A true chaval to miss out on p'nimious d'Torah.

One day I'll sure be worthy of it Iy'h :)

I think Chabad holds that only through learning it do you become worthy.

Would he say the same about נפש החיים? How about שפע טל?
There is deep and too deep. No one is advocating opening Kabbalah centers and teaching כתבי אר״י here. But there are all sorts of classical seforim which there is no way to understand without basic knowledge. It’s absurd to be learning basic seforim which are constantly referencing ספירות, if one wouldn’t know what a sefira is if it hit him in the face. In fact that is dangerous in it self.
אלו ואלו דברי אלקים חיים . You would greatly benefit from the book I mentioned. It provides the crucial context necessary to understand the opposition.

For a time I attended Reb Yerochum Olshins vaad on Nefesh Hachaim. At one point, it was quoting the Zohar for pages. I asked him why it's important to read things above my understanding. He told me that it's important to know that there is a world out there that is above my understanding.

Would you agree that some basic concepts are necessary to understand tanya? He doesn’t really spell out the basics, I assume he intended it for those who know them already. (Perhaps a qualified instructor can explain the necessary background along the way?)

There are plenty of beginner Tanya lessons out there.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

IDK. When I started learning Tanya (and any other Chassidus learning) it was with a teacher/instructor/mashpia. Would be rather difficult for me to unlearn everything and try to reapproach with a clean slate.

Definitely, Chassidus is not a self-study endeavor (well, maybe Chabad is, but Lubavitch requires a Rebbe).

Was your newly upgraded elite status honestly earned, or was it a payout? :P

Are you questioning anyone's honesty and integrity? We have some nice camps that I'm sure you would like to visit in Xinjiang, we can get you there for very few points in F.

Looks like something to do with the Russian version of "truth".

I'm sure you know the story about the Counter-Revolutionary who was raising a parrot. One day he gets a knock on the door, and it's the KGB. Knowing that the Parrot might repeat what he heard in the house, he grabs the Parrot and sticks it in the Freezer. The KGB does a thorough search in the house to look for counter-revolutionary propaganda, and find nothing. Then one of the officers opens the freezer and discovers the parrot. Getting some fresh warm air the parrot starts screaming: Long live mother Russia. Long live the Revolution. Long live Stalin! The KGB officers are stunned by what they hear, and are now convinced that the tip that led them there was totally false. After the KGB officers leave, the owner asked the parrot, what happened? You never heard those words from me! To which the parrot responded: lets see what kind of songs you will be singing after spending a few hours in Siberia.

Serious question: Do most here people really have a problem reading block upper case Cyrillic script?

I was experimenting with an image of עמעס but couldn't find one that would be clear enough, so I stuck to ПРАВДА.

To me it's like Chinese, no way I'd read this PRAVDA. Can others here read Russian? Nem tudom.
