I was getting worried I was on your ignore list. 

I fully understand you avoiding the question. 

Me avoid a controversial question?

Never. I hope you know me better than that. There just so many ways to answer it's hard to choose just one.

The article above about how because Jews are one family this story touched people on a personal level, is a good start for why it was shared and viewed by hundreds of thousands of people in the past few days.

Next, it is directly involving a defer. So that's a good connection to DD.

Next, only Dan was told the story with verification emails. If other news outlets were to break a story like this first there wouldbe little reason for Dan to share it.

Next, the majority of DD readership as of now are shabbat observant and it is something dear to them.

Next, and this is a huge one- this is Dan's blog and he always wrote about things that interest him. Shabbat is something thatis in a iimportant part of his life. Jesus, Mohammed, Church, Mosque, or any other religions significant aaspect is not something that interests dan on a weekly basis, so he probably wouldn't write about it.

Next, the story is hot because it is so well documented what took place.

Next,  he's personally friends with the person involved.

Next, he felt it has a good message, not just a crazy miracle.

I can continue if you wish. But if all these criteria are met again than I think another story will be posted.

This really was a special case.

Yes or no would have worked. 

[jj1000]

Yes or no would have worked. 

I think you know frum people better than that by now

[CountValentine]

[jj1000]

Look how many posts you have.

[CountValentine]

What about em?

You had 5509. Just seems like a special number. 

[jj1000]

You had 5509. Just seems like a special number. 

lol, gotcha your death date. Do we celebrate the day you passed?

Anyway I'll probably hit that number again after this thread gets moved.

This story only made me hate all these "enlightened"  fellows.
What fools.

Actually it's your hate that makes you think they're fools

[menachem_m]

Do their "journalist" have to pass any standards at all?

I don't hate them and I still think they're fools.

[Moshe123]

"hate" is strong word.
"despise".

[Freddie]

No, they really are fools.

[Menachem613]

"hate" is strong word.
"despise".

But "hate" is more accurate.

No, they really are fools.

What am I missing here?

[aygart]

Now I am confused. Jewish users don't like to hear about someone being saved unless he is Jewish?

How many Catholic etc. sites is this story on?

[CountValentine]

How many Catholic etc. sites is this story on?

Would not know. Don't visit Catholic sites.

[aygart]

Would not know. Don't visit Catholic sites.

for that matter, any non-Jewish sites
