mashichisten, you ain't seen nothing yet
Dispel Fantasies commenting to the moshiach achshav post:
Unfortunately they (Mashichisten) are the ideological majority of Lubavitch today. They forced the Anti's to accept their ideologies (at least to say "You do not hold like them...but they have "sources" and "right" to think that way).
While they are not "meshuge" as their extremist parts (which is not a "miutey demiutey" but a "miutey deminkeroh"); they grant a green light to many/most of their beliefs.
While things that were debated right after 3 Tammuz are today accepted matter of fact in the ideological arena, today we forge into new horizons, like for instance: we see today's Maariv having an article about "Rebbe alive" is believed by most Lubavitchers (just a matter of the way to publicize it). While I am not under any illusions that in reality most of Lubavitchers agree that the Rebbe is alive begashmiyoos, yet they (the Mashichisten) put this issue in the ideological arena in a way that most Lubavitchers will be forced to say: "they have sources...I don't believe...he has a right to believe...emunoh pshutoh...."
These issues are not only "meshugeh" but are against Torah and Halacha which instructed us to conduct ourselves according to reality that Hashem created: as the Rebbe Maharash spoke in many of his Maamorim about the proof that the world is not an illusion: "Breshis Boroh Elokim...". They deny this and it leads them more and more to the slippery slope.
The Alter Rebbe whose release Chassidim celebrate today while instructing us to put in a mindset of Eyn Oyd Milvadoy" was also the author of Shulchan Oruch and part of Chassidus Chabad and it's uniqueness to other Chassidism�s is: accepting the reality in the service of Hashem of working with one's own power ("bekoach atzmoy") and not delving in Mofssim (despite that mofssim "hoben zich gevorfen unter dee tish") because the kavonoh elyonoh is work within assiyoh, etc.
In any event: The generals and mashpiim of recent past (especially right before and after 3 tamuz) cannot say "yodeynooh loy shofchoh" on the corruption of religion and changing the course that Hashem delineated in the Torah (in addition to the bizoyon of our Rebbe).
They did not reject the tenets promulgated by the Mashichisten; for *they* TAUGHT THEM! They did not offer an alternative way in Avodas Hashem, because:
1) They taught the ways of Mashichisten before 3 Tammuz and are not honest to say with an "emess" "toissi"
2) When some one of them want to offer something they talk the talk that was appropriate in Brunoi in 5707 or in Lud in the earlier 5710's but they really do not relate to the energy and chayoos generated by the Rebbe and how to relate to that post 3 Tamuz
3) Also: they want very much that there should be no "deserters" to other flavors of Judaism and Chasidus so they accept the Mashichism (because that is good way to keep the new generation in Lubavitch and not run away to any other group).
And they are not honest with themselves and others to accept that certain things the Mashichisten do or say is against Torah; all they possibly say is: It's "meshugeh" or "it embarrasses the Rebbe". The results are what we see.. and "you ain't seen nothing yet...."
