SJSinNYC,
We do not believe in “the end justifies the means”. That is the main point that I am trying to bring out.
I’m not discussing about a Rabbi telling a BT to take it slow. I can’t imagine it would be possible for someone to start keeping every single halacha in one day! What I mean to say is that it is wrong to think, that driving on Shabbos can be a GOOD thing. It is not (no matter what benefit can come out of it).
If you are saying the same thing as me, great! It sounded to me like you were arguing my point, but I guess I was wrong.
