95% of the people I know who text on shabbos told me themselves. One actually was trying to stop.
Maybe we should make a poll of how many adults you know who text on shabbos, me personally, i don't know anyone.
Since this thread started, I've davened shacharis and mincha, let me tell you i davened much harder than normal, that my children's emunah should be strong. What started as a petty argument, is actualy turning into something constructive.
You might know someone, but you don't know that he does.
You have to be a dugma chaya aka a living example of what yidishkeit is. That is every parents biggest responsibility when it comes to all this IMO. When a child sees a parent that loves their religion and openly discusses/shares it with them amazing things will happen, if not... Im glad this is being discusses your correct a lot of good could come from this thread.
I know 6 girls and 3 guys. And I know they text other acquaintances I know but I don't know who. Maybe that doesn't seem like "a lot" but it feels like a whole lot whenever I find out. And I know plenty of stories from people who have friends or roommates in yeshiva or whatever it is. But obviously that's already second hand.
+1.I still believe this problem is very marginal, at least amongst adults.
I agree that amongst adults it doesnt happen at a high number (I wouldnt use the word marginal though).But the kids of today are the adults of tomorrow and while some may stop as they mature, some will not
Is it possible that these kids being from a different generation believe what they are doing is not wrong?
Some. But most I think know it's wrong but don't care because they don't really believe inn God, push comes to shove
I think the problem is many of them never even asked themselves what they believe.
