I was just commenting on Lakewood as a community and on the topic of this thread.

It's very simple, Lakewood as a community accepts all brands of chareidi. - whether the women drive or not, and even if she rides a bike.

This went way over @shkops head, as he even missed comprehending the topic of the thread. - the discussion is about the various "levels" "chumros" and hanhogos within the charedi communities. - modox have non of these.

Both of you are trying to make this about non charedi/modox/conservadox/young Israel. It's the wrong thread and has nothing to do with my comments.

I know what you meant
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Every Yid is a Lubavitcher, he or she might just not yet be aware of it

This hurt *me* as a Lubavitcher who has met @mgarfin IRL. That he could walk away from meeting me thinking I don't have a Rebbe stings.
But you do understand how this misconception came about, right?

Now that I made sure that my dear friend didn't fall asleep on his watch, we can get to a more serious answer (though as we know in Lubavitch, a Purim Torah has to be 100% true, even if said in somewhat of a light head, so my previous response still stands as 100% accurate).

Lubavitch may br like seltzer-water with some explosions going on inside of it. Don't get confused between the water and the explosions.

Well, that's easy: every Lubavitcher is a Yid, he or she might just not yet be aware of it.

 :P
FTFY  :P :P

Yes. If I strengthened my hiskashrus he would be under no such illusions

To me it sounds like jealousy mixed with ignorance.

24 years after the Rebbe's histalkus and yet every Lubavitcher knows who his Rebbe and Manhig is.

knows who his Rebbe and Manhig is = at most  מה הוא היה אומר

From what I have gleaned from these forums they call that a mashpia.

Isn't a rabbi also a mashpia?
The status only a mashpia was introduced in today age where ppl want to be unaffiliated.
Pick and choose,  they don't want to add hiskashrus.

And if so? Outside of the chassidishe world most people have their rabbi and maybe one or more rabbeim from the yeshiva they went to. Why do they need more than that? Why is it worse than all those who follow the Chazon Ish in this regard?

I am sure it does have to do with people wanting to be unaffiliated with certain groups.
