I didn’t understand how @ts Baum et al answered the question.
The question was that the meshichisters and elohists have gains acceptance (at least in Israel and some othe countries)as being representative of Chabad in the public eye; they run the chabad houses, tefillin stands etc (for the most part). They also run the schools and thus are educating thousands of children to believe that the rebbe is still alive- with a physical body (I’ve confirmed this is taught at some schools for sure)- and that he is the one to whom they pray to.
What should we do about this.
If I understood ts Baum’ s answer, it was just that they don’t tilt represent authentic chabad philosophy, and they don’t have a right to claim to actually represent chabad.
But that doesn’t address the fact that they are actually recognized by the general public as being legitimate
Ts Baum (and others) objected to calling all chabadskers apikorsim etc since there are lots of Chabad who don’t agree with the meshichisters.
But it was pointed out- if the public face of Chabad is dominated by meshichisters, and the “regular” chabad don’t publicly distance themselves or reject that philosophy (and don’t even publicize that others disagree)- then why should we assume that some Chabad disagree, and how are we supposed to know that?
I’m not clear on how these questions were answered.
