"...it's clear evidence that I'm right in saying that there is a distinct hierachy...."
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ESTABLISHED JTF HIERARCHY HERE BASED ON ONE'S BELIEF SYSTEM (or...lack of one).
Human beings are a political animal; as such there always appears to be a "pecking order" wherever one finds a group.
But, this is a flaw of human nature....not a tenet of JTF.
That being said, I wish to now state clearly that anyone here that thinks being a Jew is "being on the top of the heap", have no idea of what daily reality is for the Jew.
Nor do they have any idea of the difficulty in taking on the Torah Commandments as "The Yoke of Heaven".
Jesus stated "My yoke is easy", and compared to obeying our 613 Commandments, the Christian life, no matter how devout, is always less difficult to live than is that of the Orthodox Jew.
Last but not least, the world of faith always presents innate difficulties; some feeling others are not religious or faithful enough; others seeing the fastidiously faithful as nutcase zealots.
I personally hope we all can be mature enough to learn from each other while working together to save Western Civilization.
Just remember: Moving forward will always require some degree of friction...it's a law of physics.
