American Chareidi Resident Of French Hill Is A Christian Missionary

[whacked1]

Different branches of the same menorah.Everybody considers them jews. They could be extreme & whacky but nonetheless jews. Lev Tahor. Again, jews just like all of us. There are numerous jewish organizations trying to save the children from the abuse.

I think you are missing the point. Yes, you consider them jews (as I do as well). But many wouldnt be fine if it came out that there was a regular guy (hakol lefi dargo), in your shul living with you while he was secretly recruiting people to lev tahor for years.

Lev Tahor doesn’t do anything secretly. And the biggest concern there is the abuse.

Point being that one wouldnt be okay with their ideology pushed onto their kids. So to, there are those communities that have drastic different views from the more outreach communites/chassiduses (be it chabad, breslov etc). I believe this was discussed in multiple other threads as well. So in their eyes, the influencer (for lack of a better term) is clothed like a frum jew but the haskofos are vastly off.

The point of this thread is the despicable act of disguising as one religion to ensnare people. Offhand I can’t think of anyone else who does this. If that ever changes we can revisit it then. But nobody considers them a different religion. At least not in the religious world. Go into Shomer shabbos & you'll see every stripe Jew davening together in the same minyan. NK & LT included.

I understand but even if the Jew was pretending to be Christian doing missionary work no one would care.
If more people believed in G-d we would all be better off.

You don’t find it disingenuous that “Jews for Jesus” and the like use Jewish religious symbols and religious articles in their missionary activity to lure naive Jews into thinking their beliefs are yet another legitimate stream of Judaism to join?

Disingenuous, sure among other things.

Abuse is the biggest concern because it's abuse, but what they're doing isn't exactly Judaism.

it's targeted for maximum outrage/headlines, not actually interested in legislation

Same as at least some of the more ridiculous proposals of Trump's.

Of course, but there is a limit to the level of outrageousness. That this is within the limit is crazy.
