“The difference between my approach and the Moetzes is I want to show people the positive points of view and not the negative points of view”
So, pray tell, what exactly are the positive points, from a Torah perspective about open orthodoxy?
Can you please point to some positive outreach you are doing that would draw anyone closer to yiddishkeit that we can use a kiruv resource?
I know that the members of Moetzes are involved in many such programs and constantly advise and direct many kiruv programs and individuals active in kiruv.
Apparently you never read the Moetzes letter, because there is nothing in there negative about an individual, it talks about a movement that is drawing people away from Yiddishkeit. It is not negative in anyway.
I am glad that you A) think that you are equal standing with the Moetzes, and B) are sure that you have a more informed and better Torah perspective than they (Individually and as a Group), and C) that your comments are l’shem shomayim, while the Moetzes comments were not.
There is a posuk in the Torah that states U’Biarta Harah Mikirbecha, Vchol Yisroel Yishmau Vyirau. It does not say Achdus is better.
