Reply To: The OTD Crisis: Observations

BS”D

But to know how, we must understand why. The last thing we need is someone who uses phony therapy techniques to bring up memories of abuse that were not there; this is what is done in the secular world and the results are disastrous. Between the unlicenced therapists, New Agers and the REAL abuse situation, I can see this happening to an innocent teacher, parent or neighbor in our world.

And very sadly, there is a hard core 1% who are just plain unreachable because they are just plain full of themselves. They make up the core of the OTD and almost OTD bloggers and they use all kinds of easily penetrable pseudointellectual arguments to hide the fact that they just wanted an easy way out of the discipline of frumkeit.

We had one such sad case here; since he or she is not destroying anyone else or his or herself my sad conclusion is that this person needs to be let go of and allowed to drift because within the community this person would be a fifth column that would encourage those questioning to throw it off.
