That's pretty laughable. This has not about halacha, or the community, or logic. It's about simple mind control through guilt. <BR/><BR/>Of course 8 pm is the perfect time to send out these calls- pple return from the show, and the vulnerable ones who actually pay attention to these things return from the show, listen to the message and assume they did an aveirah! Perfect! Now they are that much more dependent on the rebbeim and community, feeling guilty about being over the most important halacha "on the books" (as if): daas Torah. <BR/><BR/>I have no idea if rebbeim or gedolim are behind this, but it's just one more sign of how charedism can quickly spiral from being a beautiful warm community full of chessed to a good old fashioned cult.Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-3095825795730382792008-12-09T18:09:00.000-05:002008-12-09T18:09:00.000-05:00I think that there is a new phsyciatric illness go...I think that there is a new phsyciatric illness going around that presents itself in banning enactments.

After all, look how quick you were to assume the worst about how this was handled, if genuine. <BR/><BR/>Re #3 I can't find it now, but the original article noted that the claim was made that "numerous attempts to discuss the problems with the organizers were rebuffed" or words to that effect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
