You know what's funny? Tell me if this is like churches or not...
Some years ago I went back to my childhood synagogue. It was reform when I was a kid. They moved to a new building across town. MUCH bigger. Much nicer looking. And it had a woman Rabbi. Who was an absolute leftist kook. Freaking gripes about how little Walmart pays its employees.... during Yom Kippur.
Since then I spend more time at Chabad than the more "mainstream" synagogues. Chabad operates in these tiny spaces. A few rooms off of a strip mall. Half the time the service is at the Rabbi's house. Very conservative mindset, far more interested in what the Torah says than the news on the vine. And they do it in tiny spaces.
Makes me think of the High Sparrow in Game of Thrones who couldn't stand the huge, fancy church in the square of the capital, and preferred the tiny building below it, cramped, cheap, made of stone and faith.
Are churches the same way?
Just my opinion based on what I've seen - I knew one powerful (in the faith sense) huge church back in the 80's. It was spiritually ALIVE and you could feel the Holy Spirit the moment you walked in the door. It was a big part of the Jesus movement - lots of hippies.
Since then the large churches I've been to are mostly like well-oiled social clubs. Since I like hanging out with Christians, I do like that one aspect of them. You can find God wherever you seek Him (since He is everywhere) so I can enjoy being there, but the corporation aspect is problematic. Many things are done to preserve the existence and finances of the corporation, and decisions are sometimes made based on what is best for the corporation and not "whatever is God's will". I cannot support that. I have found that there is very little spiritual power in those massive places. Plenty of people in them that love the Lord, but...they're all babies in a way.
I love small groups or even just hanging out with groups of Christians (because Jesus did say that wherever two or more are gathered in His name, He will be there in the midst).
The Chabad Lubavitchers and cult of Schneerson are unfortunately 100000x more dangerous as international deep state actors than your gross lefty reform synagogue. If you need fellowship, there are many Christian groups who would love to have you, no matter what you consider yourself.
I don't know about Schneerson at all (and I know a few things). From what I gather the Jewish Deep State members tend to be the atheistic ones.... the Soros types who don't consider themselves Jewish at all and happily betray fellow Jews to their enemies.
My current Chabad Rabbi (Can't say if he's a Lubavitcher or not) is from Canada. A few months ago he went home to visit his parents for a weekend. When he came back I asked him how Canada was.
He said: "It's a giant prison camp now."
Good guy.
I believe it ,so sad what the beautiful country of Canada has become. Same as NYC, what a sad places it's become. The Hasidim register most of their homes as yeshivas to be tax exempt, yet are masters of welfare fraud. Just look at Lakewood, NJ. for an example outside of NY of how they.have infiltrated and overtaken cities to benefit themselves at the cost of all other residents., They do it in Israel as well, but the US and Evangelical orgs pay their way with billions. The reform leftist synagogues are certainly commie abominations but high profile Lubavitchers absolutely are main players of the deep state. They are a cult of j"ewish" supremacy. Search Felix Sater, Berel Lazar, among others and you'll see a common thread common thread connecting most international leaders. Look how many presidents have formally signed Noahide laws, Jewish supremacy for gentiles, as EOs? These are Chabad leaders pushing this..I support and respect Trump, but there is no denying he he is way too wrapped in in this group who act as a mafia. I'd suggest you read the New Testament and see what comes into your heart, a relationship with Christ is so powerful in it's love. I wish you God's blessings in all you do but strongly suggest checking out a Christian bbq or picnic if not ready for a service. I truly believe you'll discover Christ in your heart when you give it a try.
Is there something objectionable within the Noahide laws? There are only seven of them, and I figure none are particularly controversial. (Don't profane G-d, don't curse G-d, don't murder, don't eat from a limb torn from a living animal, don't steal, don't commit sexual immorality, and establish courts of justice).
There's a lot of back and forth between the Ultra Orthodox in Israel and the more secular Jews. It's a conflict that may not be as dramatic as the Sunni and Shia or Catholic and Protestant, but there's some resentment to those who think the Orthodox collect welfare checks without serving in the army, versus the orthodox who believe they're maintaining Israel's spiritual health. (Though I think they have more in their defense that doesn't his the airwaves that often, though I'm not well-versed enough in the issues to make the case for them.)
So I looked up the names you cited. Granted, I'm just glancing at the wikipedia entries, but here's what it seems to indicate: Felix Sater is a mobster, but his entry said nothing about his religious affiliations, Chabad, Lubavichter, or otherwise. So I'm not sure how he's more representative than Bugsy Siegal, Meyer Lansky, or other members of the Jewish Mafia. Berel Lazar seems fairly influential within the Russian Jewish community and is on good relations with Putin. But other than that, what's the controversy? In fact, it seems the Deep State is not happy with Putin these days, since they got a lot of assets tied up in Ukraine. Where Zelensky is Jewish (though not a particularly good one) and Zelensky's "heroes" who are fighting Russia have Nazi ideologies. Probably a real life representation of the tug-o-war meme, if you know what I mean.
I haven't been in a church for years, but was brought up in a religion that had beautiful churches, lots of pomp, including fancy costumes, and in my view one of the most corrupt institutions on the planet. Long story short; went to other churches, not ornate but very people focused and intent on helping others. Now that I'm old and kinda cranky I prefer to worship in my own humble space. The less ornate, people- focused church that I had joined is now so far to the left I can't even.
Why not find one that is God focused?
If the position of the worshiper is separate from the worshiped it demeans both.
If the worshiper does not hold himself separate from what he worships then his acts cannot be considered worship. Such acts become communion - realization of oneness with the devine whole.
In my (very limited) experience, yes.
