Chossid, I would really like to give you credit for trying hard to face our questions and come up with honest acceptable answers. Seriously. I appreciate it. But once you’re brainwashed there’s so little you can do. You wrote:
“The Bal hatanya didn’t go to prison for learning chassidus with his chassidim, rather for spreading chassidus to the masses, meaning he was moiser nefesh to share chassidus with everyone, like we see from the famous story that is told that when he was sitting in jail the Bal Shem tov together with the mazricheh maggid came to him in jail, and told him the reason your setting jail is because there is a gzeira milmeila on you for spreading too much chassidus”
1. Where is the source for that? Did the BHT write it himself – in which case please find me a link – or does it come from the fictionalized account of the Rayatz?
2. If both the Mezeritcher Maggid and the BHT believed that it was proper to spread chassidus how could there be a gezeirah in Shamayim against it? Is Hashem not on the correct side, or did he just lose the vote? OK, I can’t claim to be a meivin in shevili Dishmaya but can you bring any non-lubavich example of a decree in Shamayim against something that was proper? Maybe you can and I’d certainly be interested in seeing it.
