Does Lubavitch have an agenda to convert everyone to their derech?
If they do, I'm assuming  the best way to do that is by making a concert and telling stories?

No.

Lubavitch is about Ahavas Yisroel. Part of Ahavas Yisroel is sharing good things one has.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Whew! Growing up I was never told to keep away from chabad because they might convert me. I was scared for a second there.
But where does the conspiracy  come from? The comments about the Lakewood  concert are full of people saying it's a thing.

Oh boy. I'mma stay way out of that one.

Absolutely. Benny Friedman was created in a lab in the basement of 770 expressly for this purpose. The Minnesota story he tells is a cover, they figure no one in the frum world would go to Minnesota to verify.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Yes, and all it takes is a 2nd bris. We are generally more mehudar by a tefach.

It's all part of lifnim mishuras hadin.

I'm just not sure why we haven't converted anyone yet.

I can confirm they convert people. I was talked into this guy’s sukkah on chol hamoed ;). He was saying some kind of voodoo stuff & everyone would keep taking drinks. I don’t know what he spiked the drinks with but I haven’t been the same since.

And to run the online conversion site, Chabad Lubavitch World Conspiracy Headquarters cloned Benny Friedman and the clone set up a website called Deep Dark Farbrangens (DDF) which solicits unsuspicious converts online.

Unfortunately there are elements of this mentality in every Orthodox group, Chabad as well.

I think Chabad works to promote our “values” (in not finding the right word), to spread Chassidus, both the study and the experience. The concert goes into that category.

Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m not advocating for or defending any of this, just trying to answer the question.

Lag Baomer rallies are one of Chabad's most famous tactics. The Borough Park rally alone has converted 84,000 kids.

Those are only the overt operations. Do you have any idea how many were converted using covert operations of simply learning Torah with another Jew?

Those are grooming events. It normalizes Chabad for people, so that you're disarmed when we really come for your soul.
Failing at maintaining Lurker status.

or like the class in Satmar with a Lubavitcher Rebbi where the entire class "became" Lubavitcher Chassidim....
