Like Warren Buffet used to say, don’t invest in an industry you don’t understand because it’s probably a scam. These scam companies use a bunch of fancy words and say “youre not educated enough to understand”. The thing is, the 13 ikkarim are rather simple and ironclad. If you violate them, you’re out. It’s on the people violating them to say why they’re not apikorsim. Syag doesn’t need my backup but blowing off serious shailas with “you’re uneducated” is not an intellectually satisfying answer. Please directly answer the question. The sicha Daas Yochid posted above DIRECTLY says you can ignore the 5th ikkar because the rebbe is G-d in a human body. That’s a direct violation of the ikkarim that says Hashem has no human form, Hashem alone runs the world, you can only daven to Hashem. There is an ikkar about how great Moshe Rabbeinu was, but nowhere in history do we find Jews saying “Moishe Rabbeinu vet helfn”.
I’ll acceppt that most Lubavitchers dont’ accept that sicha kepshuto because it’s apikorsus, so we don’t have to view Crown Heights as an ir hanidachas, but there are clearly many who do based on the widespread popularity of der rebbe vet helfn. So yeah, stay away from current Lubavitch.
