Sue,Welcome to the forum, although the event that prompted your post is indeed sad. By instilling the belief that Knowledge is the only answer to our existential problems, Rawat is guilty of closing the door to other help that is available, including the help from non-premie friends and family, as well as medical help if that is necessary. And now, by spreading the lie that ex-premies are a hate group, Elan Vital are making it more difficult for unhappy premies to reject Rawat and find some help here.
As I've said before, anyone who is happy following Rawat is welcome to do so, but those who are unhappy should look at the information on ex-premie.org, and consider whether their alliegance to Rawat is justified.
John.
