Sorry but you're average crown heightser is not a wacko.  The Taliban are the wackos.
Sorry, I was equating meshichist and wacko.  What adjective would you use to describe them?

As long as they're not bothering me and not acting like the taliban why should I care? Live and let live.

as cute as it was, it was also very serious.       if that's how you're understanding the tanya, you need to be learning with a rebbe (and i'm not alluding to a new "rebbe," just speaking straight).

Our job is to bring Judaism down to the lowest levels that we can to make a dira lo yisbareich b'tachtonim.

The A"R says we can't do that for klipah gamor, but klipas nogah is fair game.
If bringing Judaism to a basketball game, something that is klipas nogah, and reaching Jews via that manner will perhaps convince 1 more Jew at the game to light a menorah  that can tip the scales, so be it.

i think you, and the chabadskers (on this thread) in general, are a bit delusional about the rebbes effect on yidden.  he effected his chassidim, (as every rebbe should), and he effected many frya yidden through kiruv/shluchim.        i'm not sure why you all think that made him a leader for jewry, when most to all of frum jewry did not take him on as a leader in any form, or receive any positive effect from him.    but hey, whatever keeps you happy.

You, sir, are more than just a bit delusional. Frum Jewry hasn't received any positive effect from him?!?!?!?! Come on?!?!  :o :o :o ???

It's pointless arguing with people like him.  That type will enjoy a minyan with fresh food in Timbuktu and then spit on their way out.  I've seen it with my own 2 eyes.

I just couldn't let such a shocking, patent falsehood be voiced without a response.

A boy that was indoctrinated to hate Lubavitch once told a Lubavitcher boy:"My father hates your Rebbe".
The Lubavitcher boy answered:"and my Rebbe loves your father". This is a conversation that actually took place.

See here http://www.ou.org/torah/article/ensuring_that_emes_prevails_in_the_avodah_hakodesh_of_kashrus#.UPYF9ic0WSo
where Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky who is about as litvish as they come (not the one from Russia ;)) talks -at 2:30 -  about being makir tov to chabad for the hashgacha they do in the middle of no where.  It's interesting he mentioned it - doesn't seem to be any ulterior motives.

How does having a new leader preclude wanting moshiach? Didn't everyone want moshiach to come while the Rebbe was alive?
+1,000. Dan, you would never say such a sevara when talking about a good deal.

How egotistical does a sect have to be, to think that only their Rebbe can be Moshiach, and if their Rebbe has no son, then he must be moshiach.

How egotistical one must be, to presume they know the thoughts of an entire sect.
Newsflash: Nobody thinks that only he can be moshiach or that he must be moshiach to the exclusion of anyone else.  100% of lubavitchers would accept anyone revealed to be moshiach as I've said many times.

yes because the rebbe said if I'm not mistaken this is the last generation before moshiach and it's up to us and he did what he could. A new leader would mean that there's more to he can do.
In any case once everyone saw that the rebbe had no kids etc they thought this must be the end and moshiach for sure will come

Huh?
Where did cbs say in that quote that the Rebbe had to be moshiach??
Sure he may be.  But has to be??
All he said is that the time is now (cue Avraham Fried)


How is THAT what you understood from this whole conversation?
Because he doesn't care to listen.

And where exactly does it say there that the Rebbe was/must be Moshiach?
