I had a friend I went to yeshiva with who just recently grew payos and a beard. Its funny Bc this friend; me and my friend who moved to the Uws and is now otd used to all be best friends. We all became religious together in yeshiva. It seems like both friends went opposite ways and I’m not that close with my fried.d who grew a beard and payos. Why does yeshiva teach us to go to extremes? I try so hard to stay in the middle. I was shocked when I heard about my friend. It seems fake to me.
I wouldn’t be friends with someone who practices these things just like I wouldn’t be friends with someone who practices beastiality or incest. It’s a perverted life style even though nowadays many of us are afraid to admit that.
