Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

Post three (final): What I actually find ironic neville is that there are plenty of things that lubavitchers wish on other yidden: that they all keep Torah and mitzvos. That they learn Chassidus etc.

What you won’t find any lubavitcher who frequents this forum (as there is the EY branch of meshichism which is more extreme I suppose, like all EY things tend to be in the frum world) trying to convince any non lubavitcher to accept the Rebbe as moshiach. We obsess with the topic of moshiach, and find everything about it fascinating. There is a whole world of learning within that topic. The tiny detail of personal positions on that topic is not even discussed regularly or often within lubavitch ourselves, and when it is, it is by analysing or discussing the various sources for either side, many of which are based of the Rebbe’s sichos ( used to prove either side.) But non lubavitchers who haven’t even learned a sicha are not shayach to the discussion, at least in such a forum. It’s like talking to the vegan about korbanos. Or the goy about how you live your life based on bitachon. Too different to come together on unless you’ve learned sichos yourself

So I find it ironic that you think that everything is wink wink subtly convincing you that the Rebbe is moshiach when every (ok most) lubavitchers actually shy away from the topic and aren’t so conformable with it altogether.

However I don’t know if we’re correct. You could argue that moshiach is something that will affect the whole klal Yisrael so you should know what we whisper about as we are the ones who Koch in moshiach.

If you really want to see sources for both sides, I suppose you can attempt opening a thread entitled who can be moshiach? And we can discuss the topic from a learned point of view. Maybe the mids can be helpful by blocking solely emotional posts or rants etc so it won’t shut down?

But for my part im very happy just discussing things that we can agree on, or at least bridge the gap on, and hearing
different thoughts etc
