32. Idolarty?! Learn what it is. False prophecy.

The fact that a person stands before Israel stating G-d gives a student powers for breaking an electronic device and that that student can now bless the audience regardless of choose life or choose death (choose a a blessing or choose a curse) is the biggest issue but one that was always left up to the listener to check. The sin is on the listener. As required, request a miracle (sign or wonder) and if it doesn't come true for the audience to know whether to follow or not, you know not to listen. The guilt for mis-leadership is on the people more than on the Rabbi,

34. another attempt at haredi bashing
zionist forever   (10.14.12)
The ultra orthodox view in technology is very different from the secular view. Some see technology as tools to be embraced ( to a certain extent ) others see the as dangerous and has potential to possibly corrupt so they wan't nothing to do with it. If these rabbis or the people whose teachings they follow chose to destroy their iPhones than thats up to them, not hurting anybody. This article is just another pathetic attempt to find another thing to condemn the haredi for which is one of the favourite topics on this site

36. #34: Israel is in peril.

Due to the relatively high growth rates of the Haredim and the fact that most don't work or are educated to be successful contributors to a modern society, the future of Israel is in peril. At some point in the future, Israel may not be able to defend itself militarily or economically. The societal model of Israel Israel must change.

Of course its another article that is bashing the Haredi. I wouldn't worry about the Haredim having many kids and not contributing to the society. I would worry about all the Arabs doing the same and slowly taking over our country.
38. difference between "anonymous poster rabbis
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (10.15.12)
and the rabbis of the generation. The "poster" Rabbis usually having an agenda, go in to ask questions to the Rabbis and manipulate what the Rav said. Then they print up posters and paste them all over the religious areas. The Rabbis may not like cellphones like the computers they dont like. However, rabbis may decree only that which majority of jews will follow.
