“but because they have been taught (and I was too – Boruch Hashem I managed to rid myself of it) the weird skill of believing what they want to believe.”
This is what I’ve been saying the whole time- Cs and others have this unbelievable ability and proclivity to orwellian doublespeak, and it’s terrifying.
@Chossid- I’m glad then, that I got you to come out of the woodwork. Maybe you’ll supply some honest, direct answers to the questions that other lubavitchers on here seem to avoid. I’m honestly interested to see if there are coherent explanations; when I continually backed CS into a corner, she decided that my posts were too full of hate, as opposed to too difficult to answer, and stopped answering me.
“We are not davaning to them cas vesholom, we are asking them that they should ask Hashem to give us brochos.”
First off, I’ve never heard of anyone, ever, writing letters to tzaddikim who have passed on, besides chabad, so no to that one. In terms of davening, we’re not discussing davening that someone should be a meilitz yosher, which is still a hot topic of debate among the poskim, but certainly has a lot of heavyweights behind it. We’re talking about davening/communicating with the rebbe, and asking for an answer AND THAT HE SHOULD DELIVER THE YESHUA (I’ll bring raayos for this, soon), not that he should intercede by Hashem for brachos/siyata dishmaya, so your tzu shtell has zero shaychus. Did you miss the previous posts where CS has stated she got answers from the rebbe? We’re talking two way dialogue- not a concept that any posek will back up, and not one sanctioned in yiddishkeit, no matter how holy you think the person you’re davening to is. Can I daven to Moshe Rabbeinu and ask him things, and for answers? Heck no.
Regarding my choice of diction, you’ll have to excuse me, besides the logical and hashkafic inconsistencies and fallacies I’ll soon point out, I for one do not believe in the great tzidkus of your rebbe, which I’m sure you’ll take issue with, and that’s okay, but you will not change my mind against my personal research.
