username, for all your efforts and honest and mentchliche attempts at explaining lubavich, you haven’t scratched the surface.
Yes, it’s possible the Elokistim were put in cherem (I haven’t heard that until now but it may be true) but what about all those you denigrate who claim that your rebbe is still alive? Why is it not akin to apikorsus to claim something that is against FACT and then to base a belief system upon it? Where are all the charomim against them?
As to Merkoz being anti-meshichist, that is the offical policy in order not to turn potential mekuravim off. But don’t try to tell me that most of the shlichim are not meshichisten. I have heard less than a handful of shlichim – as I’ve written in the past, I’ve been in chabad houses on five continents and had these discussions in most of them – deny that the rebbe is mashiach when pressed. The others are scared of saying what they believe and try to avoid the topic… until they get drunk and then nichnas yayin yatza sod.
