CS: “Regarding the flip flop yb loves to post about Gimmel Tammuz and moshiach min hachaim etc. I’d like to point out that Chabad’s opponents equally flip flopped. Before Gimmel Tammuz, they assured us that we must be wrong, because not the Rebbe nor any other Torah leader was great enough to be considered a candidate for Moshiach and he therefore must come from the meisim.”
I agree 100% with yankel berel. As I have written, I was around way before gimmel Tammuz and I NEVER HEARD ANYONE say that Mashiach has to come from the meisim. NEVER EVER EVER! The only thing I heard on the topic was Lubavichers saying that their rebbe was Mashiach because he was the greatest person ALIVE (and who had ever lived, עפ”ל) and that Mashiach HAS TO BE SOMEONE WHO IS CURRENTLY ALIVE! That was standard official Lubavich policy… until ‘Mashiach’ died.
As far as DaMoshe’s statement is concerned: How can anyone nowadays say that chassidus is wrong, was invented because of a dream, and has no mesorah?! How can the mods even allow that?
And from the mods: “If you want to continue attributing the disclaimer to other things I can only assume denial or cognative disonance.”
I believe it’s brainwashing that has induced the latter, so I’m in agreement that that is CS’s – and much of Lubavich’s – major problem. (Btw I forgive your typo!)
