WASN’T BERLAND yemach shemo vezichro SUPPOSED TO REVEAL AS MASHIACH ON PURIM?!
Huh. Sorry to disappoint.
I still remember the last time that man’s most famous follower promised (!) in the name of “hidden tzaddikim” Mashiach would come on a certain day, which then passed (probably quoting the cult leader)…
You think maybe Berland was… lying?
Read a first-person account of the Big Nothing by one of the cult’s main missionaries.
Short version: Boreland announced a party, then hid in his room and left everyone hanging independently with zero explanation (his M.O., by the way).
Some screenshots (Edited to leave out the pathetic ex post facto excuses, etc.):
Apparently, this isn’t the first time Boreland made false, messianic prophecies, either!
But not to feel crushed! As usual for Doomsday cults, the final dates are pushed off into the future, yet again…
