Ask JTF For January 27 Broadcast
Hail Columbia:
Dear Chaim,
What do you think about television shows such as the Simpsons and Family Guy?
ape:
Can you please give us one of your wonderful "impersonations" of a fat schwartza woman "singing".
judeanoncapta:
Dear Hayim,
The Satmar Rebbe claims that all of the infrastructure ie. buildings roads and all material goods that the Zionists built up in the land of Israel will be burned and destroyed by G-d and then then magically replaced with "Holy" Buildings and infrastructure that G-d will send down from heaven literally.
I have been going over and over this in the Torah section with a few Pro-Haredi posters.
They keep telling me that the Satmar Rebbe's opinion is valid.
As one of the few people on Planet earth that has actually read the Satmar Rebbe's anti-zionist Arguments, in my humble opinion, his argument are foolish and insane.
What is your opinion on his arguments in general and the specific burning buildings and magical replacement idea of his?

JNC, as a Gentile, I don't have the qualifications to directly refute this (Satmarism), besides to say that the Satmar "rebbe" was the Jewish equivalent of Wallace Fard in my opinion, but I can share the general observation that people like this are pretty much a lost cause in terms of debating, in any religion. Christendom has folks like this, a-plenty--believe me. Judaism doesn't have anything on us when it comes to nutty, brainwashed cultists. ::)
For example, one of my best friends has a loony sister who is an extreme Calvinist (the Christian school of doctrine that teaches that G-d determines whether a person goes to heaven or hell before their birth, on an arbitrary basis) who basically has disowned her entire family (who are all mainstream Christians) because they disagree with her belief system. She feels that because they are "denying G-d's sovereignty" (by opposing the notion that someone's salvation is fixed by fate before their conception), they are all unregenerate and bound for hell. ::)
judeanoncapta, a rational person cannot make ground in presenting facts when dealing with loons. G-d needs to convict them of their wrongness and brainwashing--mortal men won't be able to. In terms of getting returns on time and effort spent for the cause, you stand a much better chance of winning secular Jews over to faith and observance than in reasoning with zombies.
JTFFan:
Dear Chaim,
Is there any hope for the country if Romney wins?
G-d Bless,
