If he gathers all the jews in Israel and performs the signs that he is moshiach then so be it.
I would then ask Eliyahu how could a man who had so much sinas chinum turn out to be moshiach, but to think that would hinder his acceptance is foolhardy.

And if the lubavitcher rebbe will be moshiach I'll ask Eliyahu How a rebbe Like that (I wont go into details) could be moshiach.

so not only from tsfat? let the list begin. the crownheights link also mentions a woman in 770 who does this on a regular basis
Wow, a woman from Brooklyn is also a mental patient.  #ShockedITellYou #InOtherNews

Should we start looking for Lakewood nutjobs also and make blogs about them.
This isn't mainstream even one iota, just pure silliness and propaganda.

i only linked the blogger to show that the very person who put them in cherem, himself signed a 'psak din' that the rebbe IS moshiach
Yes, there were some rabbis who believed that doing so would cause the revelation of moshiach.  It didn't.  Moving on...

Fair enough.
Again, it seems the "vort" is silly as only a fool wouldn't recognize the signs of the true coming of moshiach.

but that's a far cry from it being against halachah to believe it.

That just proves Dan's point.
These are a handful of crazies and even the most meshicist rabonim will say that what they say/do is 100% assur and against torah.

If he can't understand how the Rebbe can be Moshiach, that's fine.
But that doesn't mean those who do believe it fall outside the pale of orthodox judaism.

Why do you have to live your life believing S/o is moshiach. You cant know who it is and wont know till he comes. Why are all lubavitchers always connecting e/t to moshiach?

Again, this is a hergesh that comes as part of the Rebbe-Chosid relationship and isn't unique to chabad.  This has also been the beef of misnagdim for centuries.

As for me, I'm just wondering why anyone would care and get all hot and bothered over what someone else thinks?

Live and let live is my motto.

I take it this means you gave up on the kefirah/a"z angle and you're moving on to the next attack now?

Exactly. Of course I know it's out of context, but a great chassidishe pshat nevertheless.

Literally it means the opposite, that even when Moshiach comes we'll remember the exodus from Egypt.
