    “I think that Abie should put out an album of MMM Bloopers. This would be potentially even more entertaining than the existing record.”

    If you want Abie’s humor there’s a recording he put out called “a time to laugh” he has some good bits in there

    “How in that realm did it make sense that the MMM could figure out someone was going to do something wrong?

    If you’re going to answer that the MMM only alerted after the event and then replayed it on the screen, that would be acceptable, but in one of the episodes, Shnooky actually spoke to the child before playing the song (why does everybody make so much fun of me…“

    “The global population of Chabad has been estimated to be 90,000–95,000 adherents, accounting for 13% of the global Hasidic population. However, up to one million Jews are estimated to attend Chabad services at least once a year. (wikipedia)“

    You’ve said in the past (regarding chabadopedia, don’t exactly remember the name) that anyone can write there and it might not be true

    The same is with Wikipedia

    Also you haven’t answered my question of “Is saying Lubavitch is superior, Lashon hara?”

    “the house started burning down when looney tunes occupied the white house for 4 years. he could have extinguished it by building that famous wall he so often ranted about in his mega rallies , and , of course, mexico was going to pay for it .“

    So you’re saying illegal immigration was happening rampantly when trump was in the White House? Look at the numbers, it’s just not true

    “Yep, on the other hand, the orange haired lunatic now calls the insurrectionists thrown in jail, after a legitimate t,rial, he now calls them Hostages!!!what oh what is one to do??”

    I just heard a great analogy

    If your house is burning down who do you call, someone who started the fire or a fireman that says things you don’t like? If it’s the first one you have some issues to deal with

    Yechiell,

    I’ve already shown you to be a democrat (in the Nikki Haley thread)

    You can’t tell me you’re a republican and would vote for Biden after the past four years just because trump is a “bad man”

    “The Rebbe taught that Geula is a gradual process that we bring through our avoda in golus.

    Therefore, if you will only do what you should due to external communal pressure/ Halacha policeman etc., you are not ready for geula! Or should I say, you are not living in a geula mind space/ life style.“

    A rebbe is a משפיע not a policeman (I don’t know any rebbe/Rav that’s a “policeman”

    You are lacking a משפיע that can’t guide you in the right direction

    “The rant of a blogger carries the same authority of some drunk on the subway.“

    And if people decide to follow the ramblings of “some blogger” (or for that matter some drunkard on the subway) you have a problem with that?

    Why does it bother you? No one said you have to follow what he says

    “Food for thought about tznius in chabad: 1) who exactly are you criticising? The fact that we don’t have a Rebbe cuz he would fix it, well in chabad we don’t tell the Rebbe what to do, it’s the other way around, this the obviously the kavanah (as hinted in the last maamarim and sichos)“

    And this is why it’s a shame you don’t have a live rebbe because he’s not around to tell you what to do so your chassidus can’t fix it because he didn’t tell you to

    “Ha, someone wrote Lubavitch headquarters on their kovetz! Again, complete ignorance about regular life in Lubavitch.“

    ״Coffee – i don’t understand what you’re asking. I am saying a pshat in the gemara in sotah, and gedol is disagreeing; what would be a happy medium״

    A happy medium is that the shul is far but not far enough that it causes undue stress

    A shul next door loses שכר הליכה even though there is but very little

    A shul a mile away (in a community in Flatbush let’s say) will cause undue stress

    A happy medium is a shul 4-5 blocks away

    “CS probably meant the half/third of Lubavitch that isn’t meshichist (which does not mean they don’t believe the Rebbe is Moshiach, it means that they’re not obsessed with the idea). If anyone thinks that majority of Lubavitchers wear yechi yarmulkes or majority of Chabad kovtzim say yechi on them – they are plain ignorant.“

    Menachem,

    A third is a minority which means the majority are

    That’s my underlying question

    Why don’t you see more women in shul during the week? (Don’t say “how do you know they don’t” because I know in my shul which has a lot of elder members, and the shul which is across the street that is more centrist the mechitza isn’t even up)

    “@coffee addict reb nochum of tzenobel held the baal shem was moshiach after his passing, just becaseu it wasnt done before doesnt mean its against mesorah, what will you say when moshiach comes? against the mesorah, he didnt come for the past 2000 yrs.“

    I’m going to say it for the umpteenth time

    The notzrim have the same claim

    Regarding your first claim of R Nochum (never heard of him until you said)

    So you’re arguing with him? Make the besht your moshiach! (Obviously if r nachum can say it you can take him on too! As to the generation part he’s probably still alive as you say your rebbe is!

    Cs,

    “Not sure what you’re on about. This is basic math. The Alter Rebbe was Chabad Rebbe 1, so obviously the Rebbe is 7. What’s invented?“

    What Arso is saying is that was there anyone before the rebbe that had this concept of “Dor shvii”? It seems not and you being a loyal chassid will accept whatever your rebbe says as fact

    Now let’s say that a Rav in some city says that Moshoach is going to come from his city or was born to a lady named (insert his mothers name) so everyone should assume he’s moshiach you would say the guy is crazy

    So to over here, if the rebbe made up this concept of Dor shvii and there’s nowhere where it says this (outside of his sichos) it’s the same thing

    It’s shooting an arrow and drawing the target around it (which has been repeated a thousand times it just seems like you’re not understanding it)
