As i said I think the word “derech” must have a pretty wide definition.”
Meaning that there is room for definition. You stated “There are plenty of kids who aren’t the slightest bit OTD and are in trouble with drugs and dangerous things”. I contend that can’t make sense…as that drugs are off the derech.
If i were to make the word Derch very narrow, yes we are all off, including myself (missing minyan….OTD?).
Some would argue drinking (excessively), smoking and things like that are also OFF the derech….Very Muddled.
