bpt, the point that you are missing is that kids that go OTD have no intention at the time of ever returning. They don’t see past their pain in the present. They are NOT thinking about tomorrow let alone a week, a month, a year or even 5 years down the line. The pain they carry is real and it effects them greatly. So much so that they are incapable at the time to make appropriate choices for themselves. They are running away not only from religion but from themselves who they know themselves to be. They don’t want to recognize who they were or what they knew.
They are running into the arms of goyim and want to be just like them. They want to feel everything and anything that is opposite to what they knew up until then. They don’t think or can’t possibly fathom that they will heal from what they are feeling and that they will ever be able to forgive or forget. They can’t imagine ever NOT feeling that pain and want to do whatever they can to ease it, numb it, or ignore it. They want to kick that pain, that memory, or that thought in the gut, and they will do anything to feel like they did.
