I never heard the term "toxic AF" and after a bunch of searches, I still have no idea what "AF" stands for. To add insult to injury, I stumbled upon an article in which the first sentence is "It's hard to escape hearing the term "toxic AF" these days." I know I live in a cave, but sheesh! My only clue so far is a hip-hop song I stumbled upon called Toxic As F**K.

The article describes many of Prem Rawat's traits and behaviors, but it's only accurate when viewed objectively over the course of his entire and unrevised history and not through the lens of a staunch adherent. (It's not entirely applicable because it's more about non-cult interpersonal relationships, but still...)

https://www.measuringknowhow.com/understanding-the-meaning-what-is-toxic-af/

It includes descriptions like harmful, detrimental, controlling, disrespectful, manipulative, abusive, gaslighting, lack of empathy, emotional abuse, emotionally draining, suffocating, constant criticism, belittling, narcissistic, self-centered, inflated sense of self-importance, refusal to take responsibility, makes you feel bad about yourself, sarcastic and bullying.

Toxic AF

Suffice it to say that all of these traits and behaviors have been witnessed or experienced by former followers of Prem Rawat who've posted about them on this forum.

It's easy to see why Daniella Mestyanek Young is your favorite up and coming cult expert. Her lists are spot on and as you pointed out, they hit ten out of ten for this cult.

Through the myopic lens of a staunch adherent: Rule No. 1: Maharaji!

From the outside looking in: 1. Thou Shalt not rape the Children or Stand by Those who do

Thank you for another illuminating post and link!
