But what the firs...Halevai mashiach will come soon. But what the first anonymous commenter said. It is a joke, and rightly regarded by rabbonim as a joke.<BR/><BR/>You have to look into Facilitated Communication and the way these "holy autistics" are *purportedly* communicating. It is via an Ouija board where a "facilitator" holds and guides the autistic's hand to point to individual letters. I have seen videos of the process, which I can point you to, in which the facilitator is quickly pointing to letters, while the autistic person is looking the other way or has his eyes closed.<BR/><BR/>They make claims such as that the autistics are capable of reading minds and thus are able to answer the question before having been asked it (but while the facilitator knows it).<BR/><BR/>And the messages that they purportedly have delivered is many times against rabbanim. And so on and so forth. It is quite possible that consulting them is a violation of tamim tihyeh im hashem elokecha. These Rabbanim are *correct* to treat it as a joke.<BR/><BR/>Read through all that they have to say before making a judgment on this.<BR/>http://www.dani18.com/index.php?show=en<BR/><BR/>Kol Tuv,<BR/>Joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-40741060505816381062008-07-22T16:33:00.000+03:002008-07-22T16:33:00.000+03:00HaLevai this is true, Klal Yisroel needs Moshiach ...HaLevai this is true, Klal Yisroel needs Moshiach now more than ever. Stil, if one attempts to read all the signs, they point to chevlei Moshiach being upon us - upheavel in financial markets, high food prices, the rise of Yishmael - all are things Rabbonim have pointed to as occuring inthe z'man leading up to the arrival of Moshiach b'meheira biyameinu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-321120243378860862008-07-22T15:03:00.000+03:002008-07-22T15:03:00.000+03:002 points:1. according to the story as related, he ...2 points:<BR/>1. according to the story as related, he is not calculating the date of mashiach. The story is that the mashiach called a group of rabbis and gave them instructions.<BR/>2. despite the quote you mentioned, many great rabbis throughout history have done so anyway.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-10134831455558745782008-07-22T15:01:00.000+03:002008-07-22T15:01:00.000+03:00"The invitation was delivered at the request of on..."The invitation was delivered at the request of one of the holy autistics." - yep, a joke.
