“Ok fine. Thats impressive, but they still shouldnt have had it to begin with. It has no place in a Torah home.”
Are you saying that you dont believe in growth? Can someone not decided to to chenge their life around?
If thats the brand of Yiddishkeit you subcribe to, I want no part in it.
“the only way to do that is for you to be excited to be a Yid and anybody hooked up to secular culture”
First of all, I am ecstatic to be a Yid!
Number 2, I think I can now be certified as a broken record.
“You can preach Yiddishkiet to your kids, but if your actions in any way are not in accordance with what you preach they will see you as a liar, a hypocrite, and they will lose respect for you and the message.”
You yourself quoted that I do not want TV/Movies in my home. Did you happen to miss that sentance? What i do now doesnt reflect what I want in my future home!

Let me break it down for you.
I watch movies now. I do not necessarily want a husband who does. Is that hypocritical? Maybe. So I want a husband who is Frummer than I. Shoot me. Again, I DO NOT PLAN ON HAVING MOVIES/TV IN MY HOME (apparently I cant say this enough)
Me not being Yeshivish just means that I dont subscribe to the title. I have found in order to gain the Title, it is so much more about shtick and chitzonius than the actual person, I find that to be hypocritical and if thats the case I want no part.
