Reply To: Does it really matter why kids go off the derech?

im just telling you what i see here, and what i see here (and many other places too btw) are people with preconceptions.

yitayningwut: we’re talking at each other. my post is mitzad the people talking, not the people listening. to someone listening, they should file it away as a possibility they might encounter and nothing more. so the discussion i suppose can be productive in that regard. however, for the people spouting this rubbish, they should be aware that they are hurting their chances of helping people by having such preconceptions.

unless your problem is the following: if people stop having preconceptions how will there ever be discussion. which is of course a ridiculous way of thinking. there is always something to discuss. i can sit here and discuss different cases ive seen, but i would never state that the cause of OTD is one reason or another. and yet i talk plenty about OTD…wonder of wonders, isnt it?
