[quote=Anonymous]You will not find these people online b/c they cannot use the internet except for work purposes. For people who became ultra orthodox in the 1970s/80s, much of this was Boomer seekerism post-60s drug/free love narcissism, etc. Just like former hippies became Christian fundamentalists, Jewish hippies became Jewish fundamentalists (or joined a variety of other cults). In my family, the members who became religious in the 90s/2000s were either closeted and couldn’t deal with being gay, drug addicts, or depressives who resisted mood stabilizers. They all essentially cut themselves off or make life very difficult at gatherings (we put a kosher kitchen in the basement that we do not use when they are not there - and still they won’t eat warmed food, etc., men don’t want to sit on chairs that in theory a menstruating could sit on).
