“Just because you hear radical stuff about Lubavitche it doesn’t means it’s true”
Are you serious? This isn’t a matter of some unfortunate souls who have bought into some urban legend. People are bothered by things they know from personal experiences. Many people. Many experiences.
Among other things (in no particular order) it is not ok
to attempt to whitewash statements like “Let’s do Mitzvos to make the Rebbe happy” or “Let’s do this Mitzva like the Rebbe commanded” or “The Rebbe should help us” ect.
to think it is perfectly fine to stick pictures of the last Lubavitcher Rebbe (and only his picture) in every room of the house and children’s strollers on the grounds of יהיו עיניך רואות את מוריך
to take isolated quotes from the NH out of content to claim that Rav Chaim Volozhiner is basing the NH on the Tanya
to try and pass off as normative Jewish thought and practice the fixation on the possibility of ones Rav / Rebbe being Moshiach to the extent found today in Chabbad.
to make the laughable claim that the objection to declaring a false moshiach is an innovation of the maskilim
to keep asking, with innocent wide eyed wonder, for names of Gedolim who came out publicly against the last Lubavitcher Rebbe when such names and their respective statements have been provided by multiple posters on multiple past threads and are publically available to anyone who care to run a google search.
