we can't judge people? I am sure it is the actual lack of judgement that is causing families to go to destruction. Stern judgment from elders is what today's people need to stop being so weak and sheepish!

You are supposed to judge yourself,  not anyone else, if you think that's weak, you need to check your ego. This is not from me but within Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

I am not sure why you have labeled my thoughts as "faux-humble nonsense." At some point I realized that if I am struggling so much to do basic things in my life, it must be because of having too many inherent flaws. I don't want to pass those on to poor children who will grow up without a hope. I also don't want to ruin the image of the amritdhari community (there is no way I can live up to what an amritdhari should be).

I don't understand what you mean by my "passionate kesh-ahderence remaining strictly within the sphere of secularism." When have I talked about it being secular? Keeping kesh is part of being a Sikh, which is inherently a religious choice.

I'm not sure why you would suggest that not being amritdhari would help generate female interest. I would argue that being keshdhari but not amritdhari makes it more difficult to get married. Any girl who actually wants to be with a singh will be amrithdhari and naturally look for an amritdhari.

 

You obviously are struggling with the basics of sikhi, why are people trying to run before they can walk. You do know you are not supposed to judge people. Its people like yourself that push 'monay' away from the panth.

Anyway I have seen it alot people jumping into 5 ks , Dasam Granth etc, without even reading and understanding Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Here is a great idea , spend some time and read Guru Granth Sahib Ji,  start with English translation or if you know Gurmukhi, read it yourself.  The answers you are looking for are there.

Start bloody complaining like the Muslims do, say we are not allowed to eat,  kosher,  halal or any other type of meat that slowly dies.

most of these vegan alternatives are highly processed and unhealthy. Most of the food in supermarkets is unhealthy with all the added sugar and preservatives and what not. The only thing i buy from the grocery store is fruits, vegetables, pulses and grains. Gave up on all the processed food. But i didn't know meat was bad for health? There are some nutrients like b12 and all which are abundant in meat and extremely hard to find in plant based food. So what about that? Maybe the meat has become unhealthy because of what the animals are fed ? There were tribal groups living in forests who hunted and ate meat and like they barely had any diseases. So I'm not sure if it's meat itself that is bad?

Yeah they pump them full of all types of stuff, but the way they shred unwanted chicks and they way they kill the animals is why I stopped eating meat.

We can't even have channels to present our view point anywhere in the world. How is being a wage slave worker in western countries working out for us? Without having strong political backings and a media to voice our views we will just be a stateless no name people living in different countries of the world and one day just finish off.

If we did what our parents did,  send money to your families in India or start buying land houses as the Muslims do, we could get our act together.

Never heard it before and it caught my attention on a radio station,  I'm guessing its from Dasam Granth

Not that long ago, having a "Sikh" CM who wasn't a full keshdhari Sikh would have been a shocking development. Nowadays, it's not even worth mentioning.

 

Tomorrow, the CM will be a mona with some stubble who wears a pagh in public

The day after, the CM will be a mona without a pagh

Next week, SGPC members will be allowed to trim

 

Meanwhile, clowns like Deep Sidhu are held up as panthic heros

 

This is a community in freefall that doesn't have any standards. Degenerate behavior has become so normalized that nobody even notices anymore.

From what I am aware,  you can be Sikh without having the 5 ks, the 5 ks are for the Khalsa panth, taken amrit. Do you know if the guy has taken amrit?

Some observations:

- I recognize a very large number of women who had profiles on there 5-10 years ago (In many instances, their profiles appear to have the same photos ). Even when I don't recognize a photo, other profile details show that they have been searching for years. For example, there will be a 40 year old women whose profile reads "Hi there! I am 35 years old and recently moved to X to start a new job." Also, most of the profiles are of women in their mid 30s or older.

How sad and shocking! I suppose their Knight in Shining Armor still hasn't shown up.

- Women in America have updated their income cutoffs. It used to typically be "$100,000 or above" and now most profiles are "125,000 or above" or "150,000 or above". In the UK, they seem to have increased the lower cutoff more modestly from 40k pounds to 50k pounds.

- As was the case back then, they are not shy about being EXTREMELY specific about what they require, even though they are looking for a partner from within a tiny population to begin with. For example, 35 year-old women looking for guys who are 35-37, 5'2" women looking for guys who are 5'10"-6'0", women looking for men in very limited geographic areas (where very few Punjabis live), or women looking for men who have very specific occupations.

Yeah never got why midgets want to marry giants, when they walk together people think a farther is taking their child for a walk.
