I didn’t say that all OTD comes from mental problems.
And I didn’t say that you said that.
You seem to think you are a poisek by saying no mental disease is an excuse -you’re not!.
What gives you the right to extrapolate and say that I think that I’m a posek? As far as I know poskim don’t sit in the coffee room (especially as much as I do).
You are correct, it’s my interpretation based on many years of learning.
Interesting how you feel you have the right to interpretate halacha and when I do it you say that I seem to think I’m a posek. Talk about double standards.
This is an Oxymoron. You equate people with mental illness with Mummer L’hachas. By saying “guise”- I guess in your mind there is no such thing as mental illness -something that was just made up by a bunch of shrinks!
Please try to comprehend better what I (and maybe other people as well) am saying.
I didn’t equate people with mental illness with mumar lhachas. That’s false. I have said that mental illness is not an excuse for dropping Yiddishkeit.
When I say that they dropped their Yiddishkeit under the guise that “mental disease caused them to” that’s exactly what I mean – that they used their mental illness as a guise for dropping Yiddishkeit. You twist my words out of context.
