1-How many of those who are critical and even denigrate will run to New Square to seek counsel and Bracha from this Rebbe if Chas Vshalom you are faced with a serious crisis??
2- How many Talmidim who are special bachurim have inadvertently been exposed to a dark world because the computer is in the house?? How many who do not have internet access or even have multiple filters are handed a CD or DVD by a “friend” only to be exposed to a world of exposure. I cry too often with Talmidim who are struggling to regain a sense of self and purpose….. and the mourning of the loss of their purity will be never ending because it is lost forever.
3- How many married men have accidentally been ensnared by Yetzer Horah when we all would swear it couldn’t happen to them?? Why are Batei Dinim overflowing with Gittin as a result of issurim which began with internet activity??
There is a big picture……….

#10 That is the reason that we do not remove cleansing agents, detergents and oven cleaners from the house, we “model and teach proper behaviour”. Show the child the locked cabinet, keep it locked, use it under parental supervision and only when needed. True to a T.

All you people here who are saying that this is the correct thing to do, how did you post to this blog? Did you write out you letters by hand and send them in the mail?

#2 True, it may not be good for the adult user; but, I believe what the Rebbe’s main concern here for the new takona is the bnei bayis, the pure neshamos of the children and the seviva of the home bichlal.
Tragically, there have been too numerous cases of computers at home with all the safeguards that have destroyed neshamos of the youth from very good homes.

If this can be pulled off in a successful way that peoples parnassos are not affected then its a great move.

Some people think they’re smarter than the Skvere Rebbe Shlit”a.
To them I say; Instead of removing the poison and hazardous materials from your house, “rather model and teach proper behaviour.”
Rediculous.

thank you to all the geonim with their cynical remarks. when you become a rebbe let me know. the fact that we find it diffucult to do does not mean that he is not right

The computers will be removed, I imagine!!!!!! Will the abusers be removed as well? They should be thrown out of the homes–computers can be controlled by parental control by turning them off and/or locking with a key !!
The “problems” are not all computer generated. They’re caused by the childrens’ and parents’ eyes being opened to the real world.

The more the flock is unable to function in the world on their own, the more dependent on, and obedient to, the shepherd they become.
