Gadolhadorah, what questions am i asking that you claim i deem to be intellectually sound? I am simply asking if what is said and shown in the videos are believed by Lubavitche in general and by the Lubavitche posters here specifically. These are not intellectual questions. They are very simple questions. What does Chodesh Elul have to do with stopping to ask whether the Lubavitche posters, and the Lubavitche in general, believe that their rebbe runs the world, believe that they can pray to their rebbe, that he’s everywhere, that he’s physically alive, and that he never makes mistakes? What is intellectual about asking if it is ok to give an aliyeh to a dead rabbi, to write a letter 30 year after his death that hes not available for the next few days because hes not feeling well, to pray to their rebbe’s chair and other such behavior? These are not intellectual questions, they are simple questions from Lubavitche about their beliefs and behavior.
Why pinkt in choidesh elul should we not ask these questions?
