MY WAY, OR ELSE (Madonna gives non-believers the boot)

MADONNA ditched her pal Debi Mazar when Mazar expressed doubts about kabbalah, and now the Material Mom is cutting off family members who won't follow her spiritual path. Foxnews.com reports Madonna no longer lends a helping hand to brother Christopher Ciccone, who worked for her Maverick Label for years. Nor is she speaking with siblings Martin, Anthony, Paula, Melanie, Mario and Jennifer Ciccone, because they won't join the mystical movement. Brother Christopher, always the closest to the singer, is said to be "struggling."

Tolerance, that's the ticket. What a flippin, smelly hag.

[Little Ray]

I thought the Quabbalah was a form of Jewish mysticism - the Tree of Life, Gematria, and all that stuff. When did Madonna convert to Judiaism? Does she even speak Hebrew?

[pissant]

a couple of years back. She can barely speak english, so I'm guessing che can't speak hebrew.

[AQGeiger]

She hasn't converted to Judaism, and this isn't the genuine Jewish mysticism. It's just some foolish celebrity "religion."

[lady lawyer]

Remember her record, "Pappa Don't Preach"? Now who's self-righteous? Ah, the irony.

[pissant]

she's not looking too good lately:

[Republicus2001]

sorta like Festivus or Kwansa

[Little Ray]

Oh. One of those.

Actually, the real Quabbalah would be more... interesting, but its probably too strict for a Hollyweirdo and too hard for a mediocre intellect. Ritual Purity, a good, fluent grasp of Hebrew; a solid scholarly understanding the Talmud and various other writings; I mean it is REAL work.

Next stop...


Scientology

[ScottM1968]

Yeah, we need to stand up for the legitimate "Jewish mysticism".

That other stuff is simply sacrilegious.

[ScottM1968]

It is always real work when one does not follow the Bible.

That Bible stuff is just too simple.

[najida]

Idiot twit.

[pissant]

I think the L Ron Hubbard crowd wouldn't want the has-been.

[pissant]

As always najida, you cut to the chase.

[muir_redwoods]

Who's Madonna?

[AQGeiger]

I've always had a great deal of respect for the Jewish faith, including their lack of proselytization and their desire to discourage conversion unless the community is sure that the would-be convert truly wants to be Jewish and is not doing it for the wrong reasons. I haven't studied anything of Quabbalah since college, but from what little I remember I can be sure that none of the folks practicing this "religion" would have a chance of living up to the behavioral standards that the original adherents strived for.

[AQGeiger]

Either that's an old picture, or it's had the snot airbrushed out of it. She's hideous now.

[zygoat]

I'm usually totally against anyone becoming a muslim fundie, but in Madonna's case , I'll make an exception.
Anything that will shut her up and put a bag over her head can't be all bad./sarcasm.

[pissant]

Never floated my boat.

[pissant]

Remove the sarcasm, and I'll agree with you.
