I dont really understand this. I have been dating a Druze guy for a year. He left Israel and his family to live in the U.S., but is still in contact and good terms with all of his family. He does not agree with his religion but respects his family and there wishes. He says he does not have to live like them, but won’t break the rules either. There is no way him and I can ever be married. I dont understand how there is no way around this. How is that possible or acceptable in this day and age?

I article written above lacks academic and scientific basis to support the claims being made. I am sure statistics regardning subject being discussed show a very different story in Lebanon

Personally, i respect their religion. Its pretty intriguing as you cant even read their holy books. Make ya think huh?

I dunno. My brain’s just always hungry. I guess I’m wondering what would have happened to the Jewish people if we had been even more self-contained and ghettoized, if we’d be fewer in number but more similar in observance than we are now…

I assume your tongue is jammed pretty far into your cheek, TM. Sounds pretty f***ed up to me.

We would be just like the Druse (or the Karaites) if it weren’t for gerim; some weird minority sect that nobody gave a rat’s ass about. Hell, I wouldn’t even be a Jew if that’s how things worked (my father is not a MOT).

What food for thought, Esther?

So men get to leave but have to leave their lives behind.

Women get to leave but have to die.

Looks pretty certain that the Druse will be around a long while into the future.
