Rebbes Crooked

Having today such an array of different rebbe picture magazines all with a scandals galore. Thinking what goes through the minds of these rebbes who wants to dominate. Here is as I see it A rebbe is like any other profession he starts off with a little shop trying to get customers here and there. He slowly implements incentives for people to show up (warm mikvah, 4 different flavored coffees, 15 minute daf hayomi shiur etc...). As he builds the business he sets up a building fund because the shul is too small and for 10 years there is a building fund which seems to have a huge hole on the bottom. And they just keep on climbing the rebbe ladder till they get to the untouchable point where you have a massive following. The rebbes then send out their advisers (sons, nephews, uncles etc...) to represent them in the different parts of the world. They travel here and there is a dinner here a housewarming party there trying to add to the riches of the empire. Every Rebbe has an agenda one way or another they are all involved in a fight or two and not just any fight but nasty ones. How do these people consider themselves leaders? What do They think sets them apart from us. With one scandal after another, with these mosdos ripping off the government from my hard earned money that is beyond crookedness. How can Rebbes preach one thing and do another? The Chassidim that give the most money are those who dominate at that point it doesn't matter what you do, how dress etc.. Me always wanting to belong to chasidus which I considered and still do a beautiful thing. always felt there was no place for someone like me there. I didn't dress the dress or talk the talk but yet wanted to feel welcomed which I never was, you always feel that you will never belong unless you adapt to everything that the rebbe/chasidus requires growing payos, wearing a shtraimel etc... Instead of the beauty all I see is the commercialization of chasidus, It became a part of Corporate America, How unfortunate. I can imagine that in the time of the Ba'al Shem Tov These rebbes would have been laughed at. The Rebbes of those days had dignity they didn't travel the world over for Money. They did not condone stealing.They wouldn't pull out their teeth in front of their Chassidim. I would love to know what posses a Yeshiva which is under the Supervision of the Rebbe from that chasidus to lie when it comes to all government programs, What do we expect when we hear so and so was arrested last night in beis medrash for this or that fraud, Isn't that what the Yeshiva did ? Why is it wrong now? There are very very few Rebbes that are in a league of their own they really do mean it and I really do respect and admire those leaders of our generation.
