[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SOME MO thinkers have suggested Chabad is in fact a heresy, due to its attitude (well hidden by most shlichim)  toward the messianic status of R' Schneerson. [/quote]

Yes, what's up with the Schneerson situation?  The idea makes me uncomfortable.[/quote]

a big group of chabadniks openly consider him the messiah - they are mostly in Brooklyn and in Israel. The rest, including the entire shaliach organization disagree - at most he is "the person in his generation most worthy to be the messiah" There are accusations that that is a cover - that the shlichim (the chabad representatives who run the chabad houses and such) DO consider him the messiah, but keep that under wraps. There are also a few folks on the messianic (chabad messianic, not christians) side who have written things hinting that he had a status beyond the messiah - that he partook of some degree of divinity.

Even aside from the messiah business, the degree of focus on the rebbe is considerable.    although to some degree that would be true of any chassidic group - but at least no one thinks the other chassidic rebbes are messiah worthy.

Failed Messiah, a blog by an ex-chabad guy who stopped being religious at all, used to have a lot about that.  I dont read FM anymore - he was way too cranky for my tastes. [/quote]
