So it's Christian now? What does that even mean it was "more jewish"????

Please elaborate if you can. I’m on the fence about continuing. More nuances than overt but not sure

It’s definitely going in a direction I’m not comfortable with, I’m not so sure I’ll be renewing my subscription.

I am pretty sure there is a rabbanical board that reviews everything. My only complaint is that I find it over the top with gashmius but that seems to be everywhere in klal Yisrael now

Honestly, what was the point of this post?
She just got the subscription, now youre making her doubt it?
Maybe do a spinoff but you should really delete it here. Not necessary since definitely not ltoeles.

I caught wind of the cover of a very frum different periodical today that didn't sit right with me hashkafically but that just means that everything needs to be read with a critical mind. People err and you need to see what aligns with your values but they're definitely trying their best and do have rabbinic guidance. This is not one I have ever seen anyone take issue with...

(I don't subscribe but will read issues given away and I get for YT)

That's an interesting thing to say about Mishpacha.
Would love to hear examples.

What is this supposed to mean? I've been reading the Mishpacha ever since it came out, and it's as jewish as ever.
(Unless your Samter anti Zionist & you think zionist isn't jewish....)

I like to read magazines that I can hold in my hand and turn pages.
I also like to read this junk on Shobbos.
I also find that when I get a magazine on-line I don't really read it.

With that I will not be getting it on-line.
