Hakatan- “However, the MO “movement”, is, by definition and in plain fact, influenced by outside sources.”
Please describe to me these “outside sources” you talk about. Growing up in the MO world it is easy to say I agree with you that Modern Orthodoxy is quite immersed in the outside world, but again like someone said above, to varying degrees. Some are more, some less.
JLIC I will have you know is NOT conservative. That is the Hillel movement. JLIC brings minyanim to campus, there are beis medrashim with mechitzas for minyanim and tables for boys to learn between classes. JLIC allows people to come to campus and go to a shiur to infuse their day with Torah.
In the working world, where people work all day to make a parnassa, they might not be able to learn all day. they might not be able to live of their parents for the rest of their lives. They need to learn how to infuse Torah into their days because it won’t be fed to them on a silver platter. JLIC gives frum jews that opportunity.
