I converted orthodox over 10 years ago. I still live frum but now start to realise all the rotten structures that really affect the way I view Judaism. Anyone else??
I am mostly referring to cultish behaviour, judging others harshly, hate towards secular and especially non-Jews. For example: I am very friendly with a non-jewish family in my building. Their only daughter comes to us a lot to play, as she is an only child. I babysat kids from a chareidi friend, and told her about the non-jewish girl who is often at my house. She replied her son (8 years old), jt would make him uncomfortable if she is around. Can someone explain this behaviour? I really struggle understanding this. Either I am NORMAL or I have not understood something fundamental? Please advise
