moish- i hear your perspective, but will have to respectfully disagree.
firstly- mw13 is 100% correct.
secondly- so there are hypocrites out there. yeah? and? so?
There are mental people, sick people, quiet people, loud people, farfrumpte people, farkrimpte people, modern people, warped people… and hypocritical people. So whatcha gonna do bout it?? They’re everywhere- not exclusively in the frum community. We all go through life with these nutjobs at our sides. Is that an excuse to just drop everything and run in the other direction?
so you get completely turned off by hypocrites… so don’t associate yourself with them. Find other nicer, more honest, more REAL (frum) people to stick around.
squeak’s theory on blaming others would fit in nicely right around here….
(moish- sorry if i sound like I’m bashing you. It’s not you per se, but the world at large and the entire twisted situation. Don’t take it the wrong way)
