000646,
R’ Miller is saying that ANY person who has a TV in their house has no chelek in Olam Haba, nothing to do with MO or not. He can be chareidi also.
Obviously he was reffering to anyone who should know better…otherwise they would be considred (in this “inyan”) a tinok shenishba.
I don’t see what is so difficult to understand.
As I mentioned previously, I don’t really get why some yo-yo in the CR thinks he has a better grasp on who gets into Olam Haba than a yid who went through Shas over 60 times & knew Chovos Halavavos, Sha’arei T’shuva & Mesilas Yesharim baal peh.
The tone of the question here is the main point. If one wants to come & say, “WOW, why is that?” in a sincere questioning fashion – that’s fine. Whereas when someone makes up his mind first that he’s right & R’ Avigdor Miller is wrong AND THEN asks questions, now that is not someone who’s a BEN ALYA, that’s just a person looking for “teirutzim”.
And, as I pointed out in my previous post, the whole question of getting into Olam Haba is not the issue here.
The issue is, do I want to try & grow closer to Hashem or do I just want to figure out a way to continue my current lifestyle & the Rabbonim should just leave me alone.
