A lot more to answer, but not enough time before Shabbos.
Just a few quick comments.
bombmaniac,
I do not believe that all Jews should be any flavor of Conservative or any one style of Judaism and I wouldn’t ask them to be. I acknowledge the Orthodox Judaism is A correct way to practice Judaism, not THE correct way (What do you mean by Orthodox Judaism anyway? You talk like there is only one type of person who falls under the umbrella of Orthodoxy). No, I do not ask my converts to follow law as understood by Orthodox Judaism. Why would I? I’m glad you have more store in your Rov than in me, that’s why he’s your Rov.
CHerrybim,
Rabbi Joel Roth is most certainly active in the Conservative Movement and is still doing a wonderful job teaching future rabbis and others.
Darchei Noam,
Clearly you disprove the idea of Keshmo Ken Hu. Comments like yours and the leaders you mention are a major reason why there is so much Sinat Chinam among the Jewish people. Look at this forum – You’re making comments like that, I’m not. Which one of us is keeping Mashiach away? Think that over.
A Good Shabbos to all!
