Qwerty, you are right about not arguing with Menachem shmei. If he wants believe that that his rebbe deity was buried alive I can’t change that. If he wants to believe that Yaacov is physically alive 3+ millenia after being buried, I can’t change his beliefs.
After doing much research on Yaacov lo mes I see that these words are very central to the Chabadianity ideology. They have many articles written on these three words. They want Yaacov to be buried alive so like this they believe they have a precedent to a tsaddik being buried but supposedly still physically alive to show that their rebbe was buried but is also alive… Like this they have an answer how he can be moshiach…
I posted a link on the other thread but the mods didnt publish it. The link was a video showing Lubavitche giving their dead rebbe an aliyeh, them writing a letter to the Chassidim, thirty years after the rebbe died, that he’s not feeling well so for the next few days he won’t be able to see the oilim, a random chossid giving out l’chaim to the Chassidim as if the rebbe is giving it out, praying to the rebbes chair, etc, etc. B’kitzur, ita cultist behavior revolving around their deity.
