Avria, If Rav Moshe Kotlarsky would do that and they would leave, then that would be a very embarrassing split in the Chabad Community, and they would still call themselves chabad and follow the chabad minhagim and consider themselves shluchim. They would still wave the yellow flags. All that will help is the statement lubavitchers can use is: “They don’t represent us.” But we can already us that statement, because they don’t represent me or the opinion and will of the rebbe. I don’t want to get back into the discussion of did the rebbe oppose the people calling him Moshiach or not, but as long as you can interpret a few words he said which could mean many different things, somebody will interpret it to mean something that he chose it to mean, the Rebbe didn’t mean that, it’s just what they think he meant. I could promise (since it’s it’s assur to promise, but it’s as if) the Rebbe would not want the mishichists acting or believing like they do. He is resting in the Ohel in queens, anyone who wants to visit is mor then welcome, ad that itself is a proof that the Rebbe is now in Shamayim, in Gan Eden.
Do you seriously still believe that all lubavitchers at least secretly think he is still alive? Like, permit me for my use of words, but what are you smoking? What a bizarre thing to hear. You just assume something like that? And you have no proof whatsoever that all lubavitchers still think he is alive but just hide it.
In summary: Them splitting wouldn’t help anything, since they’ll still think they are the real lubavitchers.
It’s a real rachmanus on Klal Yisrael (and lubavitch included) that this whole mishichist idea is going on.
It’s really sad, and when exactly does anyone think it’s gonna stop?
