A man called R’ Avigdor Miller z”l in a desperate situation. His daughter had left Judaism and become a Moonie. She was coming in for a short visit and he wanted to save her so she wouldn’t go back. He insisted that R’ Miller talk to her.
Said R’ Miller, “I was willing, but he spoke to me in such a disrespectful tone. He called me up with such a curt voice and was insistent I should speak to her. He wanted me to drop everything to do him a favor and speak to his daughter. And he was disrespectful!
I didn't say it, but I wanted to tell him: ‘Mister, you know, it's your fault! If that's your attitude towards rabbis, is it any wonder that your children run away from your faith -- or your lack of faith?’ There are plenty of people to knock in this world; the evolutionists, the immoral people breaking down all the traditions of society in America, but don't knock the good ones, and above all, don't knock Hashem.”
