write or wrong -“I’d definitely disagree with this. A BT has made an informed choice to leave the secular world and embrace the religious one, while an FFB is just continuing in the path of his parents. It’s not about “breaking new ground”, it’s about temptation. The BT has already been there and saw the sheker. But the FFB might think the grass looks greener…”
You’d have a valid point if there was only one reason that people become Frum and that is that they saw the light. I’d say most have more than one reason that they become Frum -like coming from a dysfunctional family. So all in all, I think it’s easier for a BT to go back to their old ways. Maybe not all BT’s, but a good portion of them. And I’ve seen this with my own eyes. Sometimes when the going gets tough -some BT’s get going.
