OurTORAH:
If what you’e saying is that we should accept people and not judge them, I fullg agree. But what you seem to be saying is that we should accept this is their way of serving Hashem, and not necessarily wrong, then, if some of the above assertions are correct, and I’m not saying they are, then I can’t really agree with that. When you were performing that wonderful example of chessed in the hospital, you accepted them as people and didn’t judge them for their level of observance. But, as a frum yid, I believe that whilst I accept them, the fact is their level of observance is not just different, it is wrong. That’s not to say I judge them for it, of course. For example, if they had a Reform Rabbi they whose judgement they follow, accepting them would not translate to agreeing with that Rabbi, or even accepting that their’s is simply another way of serving Hashem. The mehalech is simply wrong, even if elements are right.
Now I’m not saying this applies to MO, I’m saying that if some of the above posters are correct, there are aspects of MO that are problematic and not the correct way to serve Hashem. Feel free to say that they are wrong, or that we should accept people nonetheless. But I cannot agree with the answer that this is simply another, acceptable way of serving Hashem despite these supposed shortcomings. Perhaps the shortcomings are less severe than claimed, or nonexistent, in which case of course the movement is fine, and should be accepted. but my perception is this is not the case.
