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.
that's a flat out lie. I've spoken to many lubavitchers who believe tht only he can be moshiach. And gave me the bechezkas moshiach BS, saying he was lochem milchamos, and screwing up a Rambam, stop lying.

Those are the wackos, that's not mainstream thought.  Find me a non-Israeli shliach that says that.
Or better yet ask those people what would happen if someone else was revealed to be moshiach.

But nice way to castigate hundreds of thousands of fellow jews without even a thought of being dan l'kaf zchus.

The whole Chabad believed he was moshiach when the rebbe was alive, with the cheshbon that the 7th chabadsker rebbe is moshiach, and he's the nasi hador. Lately it's kept inside the heart. I think that's an egotistical sect. I'm sorry. It doesn't make you egotisitcal, I have nothing against you, it makes your sect's ideology egotistical.

Do you mind that I'm telling you my true feelings, I could hold back my real feelings, like i've been doing till now on this thread, and many others are still doing, and i may start doing again.

I walked around Crown heights when i was young, about 15 years ago, shmoozing with tens and tens of people, walking into dozens of random sukkahs, and EVERY SINGLE PERSON TOLD ME THIS!!! Stop with your revisionist history. You couldn't find a chabadske in the NY or Israel that didn't say these things, I've shmoozed with enough lubavitchers to know that it wasn't just a minority.

Even if that's true, and it very well might be,  if you're not educated enough on the topic I think you may be better off listening than ranting. You're trying to convince a bunch of Chabadniks of what they believe when they are sitting here telling you the opposite.


I've met plenty of people who also were over obsessed with the Rebbe and also believed he was Moshiach.  And I still know enough to know that that is not the basis of Chabad. And there are PLENTY who don't think like that at all.

It seems like you're so set on believing what you want to believe so you can hold on to your "disgust" and feelings toward Chabad etc.

I won't deny there are Chabad wackos but why focus on them?

when they are sitting here and spinning the opposite. FTFY. It's not true, it's backtracking, thats all it is.

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.

#juststatingtheobvious

It's actually a Gemara (cannot remember where but if soooo imp. PM me and ill find out)

Gemara goes Something like this:
Rabbi x's students believed he was moahiach and rabbi y's students believed he was moahiach.

not because they believed that the 7th rosh yeshiva of their yeshiva had to be moshiach. There's a big difference.

This thread just reminds me why Mashiach isn't here yet.

All the judging, the hate. The lack of feeling connected as one nation.
And most importantly the ignorance every sect has for one another.
:-\



The lack of proper attitude of wanting to learn and understand and respect each other.

Your point??

It's not based on that. It's based on the rebbe of each person being qualified for the position.

The 7th is not connected to this point specifically.

So now please answer the question (that I didn't state explicitly).

You stated that believing your rebbe is moahiach is egotistical. You're being proven wrong by a clear Gemara. Do you retract your statement or not, and why?

Believing that your rebbe is moshiach because he's your rebbe is egotistical, believing your rebbe happens to be moshiach is not egotistical.

I explained that each ones rebbe was qualified. So are you saying that the Lubavitcher Rebbe wasn't qualified or are you saying that were not egotistical?

I feel like when you delve deep down most of this has little to do with Religion and beliefs and more to do with ignorance and the hard time people have accepting anything that is different from what they know or how they were raised or what they were taught.

I've been in chabad yeshivos for 8 years, including both mishichist and anti-meshichist yeshivas.
Not once did I hear this business you're saying that the Rebbe had to be moshiach from any teachers or friends. Not once.
Maybe before Gimmel Tamuz, but not now. Except by the wackos who are a tiny minority.
 
I'm not denying that we'd love to have the Rebbe as moshiach, but that he has to be moshiach?
You are dead wrong.
