Reply To: Bike Riding

RF actually understands my point

And Kol Yisroel arevin Zeh Lozeh is exactly my point. I contantly bring up the twizzlers because frankly it really isnt an important issue (I dont even eat them) and isnt really threatening to anyone.

But I can tell you I know of people who went OTD because of Chumras , Bans, etc

You can say that you like the ban and thats your right, but once you impose on others thats another story. What if someone wants to ride a bike, are you gonna say the Rebbe said no so you cant ride.

Im sure you heard about the OTD woman who was on Katie Couric who said she had bought a blouse that was a little too tight for her parents taste and was thrown out of the house.I dont know what too tight means, but the woman is totally OTD and goes on national TV to say how bad charedim are. Was it worth a Chumra to get rid of this souls.

There is another OTD Satmar woman who hated having her hair Shaved, She now goes off all over the internet about Hair shaving.

I am sure you all heard of Yaffed, it was all over the news how Charedim dont educate their children. It was not a kiddush hashem.

And thats right Kol Bnei Yisroel Arevim Zeh Lo-Zeh unessasary Bans do not create a kiddish Hashem and may even cause Averiahs because some at some point say Dayenu and just leave.
