Haven't you seen Borat? Mr. Baron-Cohen is a practicing Jew yet on an international and hugely popular film pokes fun at his own religion, on several occasions. I respect him for that and think he's bloody hilarious

The fools are those who think it's terrible...the real joke is on the people who agreed with him as they had no idea he is that which he is racist against. I saw it on a Friday night in town with my wife then we went for a hamburger and a few drinks.

And you have your own Secular Jewish thread for you to post in.
And if you disagree so much you have the express writen permission to not read nor post in the threads that bore you to tears.

Now about trophy girls.
I am a Christian man and believe in the G-d and I find it to be disrespectful to Him and my wife to hug up on any women that isn't a close friend or family member. When I won at the Scion race last year this how I posed for the picture.

Yes they are touching me but not all over me I told them that it would disrespect my wife. They all were very nice and respected my desission.

Nice pics Shookie. Good example of a man trying to keep G-d's commandments in that situation, that's all. This is what this thread is about. One of the commandments and basics in Torah and the NT is the teaching of keeping ones thoughts clean and pure from sexual perversion or sins. And if I recall, Jesus taught that when a man allows himself to have thoughts about another woman he is already commiting adultry in his heart(maybe one of you Cristian friends can confirm this, or better yet, cite the verse so all can see) then point being that we have to guard our minds from sin, by not letting sinfull thoughts enter our hearts or minds, and this goes for all sins, like stealing, cheating, hurting someone, or sexual sins...so we have the resposibility to make sure we do not put ourselves in a position that gives way for these temptations to creep in...'cause its easy to fail and give in...and the consequences can be fatal in some cases.

Woe to those who look up to "Borat" as their examples in Torah and Judaism ...its obvious he is not an Observant Jew. He is not Orthodox, and if he were, what he is doing is still wrong, and doesnt justify that. Just because he, and other secularized/reform Jews like him do this kind of stuff, doesnt mean its right or brings honor to G-d, Torah, or Judaism...that's why Torah forbids foul language and obsenities, and stresses clean decent speech, as does Cristianity and other major world religions.

All of the 10 commandments are in the NT. And have been added to as well. You are right that if you look on a women in lust you have already commited adultry in his heart. Thou shalt not Kill, If you hate them in your heart then you have already killed him and so forth. I can post all the verses if someone wants

Please post those passages. The intent is to see what is called in Rabinnic terms "the spirit of the Torah/laws of G-d", which refers to the inner or broader sence of the commandments of G-d, which are equaly inportmant and one with the written letter of the Torah, or the straightforward simple commandment.

What I'd do is similar: first, have a talk with the directors, or personell in charge of the presentations, and let them know beforehand the situation, and explain to them what that we cannot take pictures with inmodestly dressed girls, or touch them, and that if its possible to arrange it so that a gentlemen present the tropy. If its the girls who must present them, then I'd ask for other fellas to be in the picture, and explain to the directors and the girls that they cannot touch me or me touch them( however, if they are not dressed decently, I wouldnt take the picture at all; if they are modestly dressed, then I'll move to one extreme of the picture and have the girls on one side, and the fellas in the middle as a buffer between me and the girls).

Thanks for the post Mopar70...Well, hope this gets us all some kind of idea of the point we were trying to make...that we are to keep ourselves from being in those kinds of situations. Also, there is another principle in play here. And that is the principle that we are not to put ourselves in a situation that will cause our reputation to be tarnished, or cause a desecration of G-d's name or honor. In this particular case, even if one is able to avoid touching the girls, what would hapen if pictures are taken of the trophy/awards presentations by magazine reps, etc, but the girls are dressed in bikinies, t-tops, short shorts, or similar inmodest clothing, and the pics are taken and printed in magazines...if you happen to a G-d fearing Jew, or a Pastor, etc, and these pics are being circulated, then its quite possible that you'll get people talking about you and how this situation, negatively. These things are also to be avoided, and we must take the necessary measures and precausions so that we dont put ourselves in a position that will bring us shame or give rise to a bad reputuation or rumors, etc, or worse, dishonor to G-d and Torah.

I am here to post that I am a Jew, and I follow basic laws such as celebrating Shabbat and occasionaly going to Shul on simchas. I was also lucky myself to go to a Jewish primary school and to have a barmitzvah.

I consider myself a Jew because that is my religeon, and I beleive that no one should be forced to follow every rule in the Torah that G-D states because we are allowed to have our own thoughts.

When someone can give me proof that backs up the religeon, I promise you I will follow every rule in the book.

I struggle with the chick thing but with G-ds grace Iam coming through. Hi shookie nice to see a pic of ya.
To all the crew that call them self's Jews but do not attempt to follow G-ds commands I say to you: A man can stand in a garage all he likes but that doesn't make him a car.

Errr...can't ya just bone her ?

I have never heard of a man standing in a garage trying to be a car

The Jaydin

I did it once...I stood in the garage for about an hour, then "drove" off down the street making V8 engine noises . I ran out of petrol about half way down the street (it is quite long), but luckily I had some Milo (it really does keep you going) on me, and drank that. Someone called the cops (six days later when I reached Newcastle, from Sydney), and I was detained and sent to a mental hospital for six months. I can tell you that I am NOT going to do this again. So DKB, I strongly suggest you don't stand in a garage and pretend to be a car...kapish ?
