ratzon: Who said she wanted to remain orthodox? i think Footsteps is terrible, but im not seeing your point.
“Soleik – why that and not this. Knowing her, I wouldn’t consider a stretch of the imagination.”
you do realize that a person can tell a falsehood without lying…if you believe that something false is true then you have no compunction saying it as a truth even though, in reality, it is false.
take what she said about chinuch for example, i think its entirely plausible that to her that WAS the only definition of chinuch, and anything else didnt occur to her because she never saw it. so mitzad her, its possible that nothing she said was a lie, lemaaseh some of it wasnt true. therefore i have no problem believing her when she talks about her problems.
also in general when someone talks about problems like that im not quick to call them a liar. its not easy talking about it.
“That said I will repeat what I’ve said before: This is not a time for us to start accusing each other about what we’re each doing wrong.”
the two arent mutually exclusive.
