IITFT: You asked.

“Where were you and OO when civilizations of the past accused us for being ‘narrow’,’rigid’ and “destroying peoples’ happiness” due to our refusal to bend for the prior mentioned?Should we have bent? What about all those poor individuals’ “suffering” [ read Shakespeare if/when examples are needed]?”

Obviously we were together then. Hmmmm… that is a good point. That if I and anyone who happens to be affiliated with OO today looked back at how we survived generations ago, then I and we would see that our firmness in our beliefs, our Torah as it is, is our strength and instead of trying to change it today we can honor it. Because Torah is who we really are.
