I think some of you may have misunderstood what I meant. I am not saying that MO will adapt the Hasidic garb. What I am seeing is MO are starting to take learning and davening more seriously.
As far as OTD meaning someone going to Reform Conservative or Reconstruction, I don’t know anyone that did that. I do know back 40 years ago Orthodox Rabbi were taking position in Conservative synagogues.
While the O in OTD stands for off, in my opinion the OTD is rebelling against society due to a grievance and is taking it out against g-d. They are putting their parents in a position of choosing between keeping them at home and having their other children go OTD or asking the child to leave. Blaming society for his action I think is wrong. If he can’t get along with his parents or sibling he could live with a relative. But no Orthodox Jew wants a goy living in their house. After they are kicked out they stay with friends or sleeping in shuls that have combination locks. I know this because I open up, i tell them I got no problem with the arrangement but when people come to daven they have to look like they come to daven. somebody broke into the charity box and they were banished.
