Menachem: “Complete lies. Anyone who said what you said and calls himself a Chabad chossid is like an Israeli knesset member who calls himself satmar.”
I can understand your surprise, but it’s the truth. The Rayatz wasn’t the first one who wrote “fiction” in order to save Yidden from leaving Torah and Mitzvos. There was R Meir/Marcus Lehman, who btw was an outstanding talmid chochom. There was R Yudel Rosenberg, who was a rov and a talmid chochom, and who is responsible for all the stories about the Maharal’s golem.
“Something tells me that although you dress chassidish, you don�t have a rebbe, but that�s just a theory.”
And it’s BH a completely incorrect theory.
Now it’s my turn to guess. Something tells me that you have never known what it is to have a live Rebbe who talks to you personally one on one. That is, I’m guessing that you came on the scene after the first stroke and therefore never faced a rebbe to his face.
