You're starting to irritate me with your ugly "Denial-Style". I don't like the way you are trying to make John seem stupid and mocking him...as if you really don't know what he's talking about...and I believe you know perfectly well !!
I thought Guru Maharaj Ji ( Yes that's what he was called then ) was God........thats what we were given to believe ........naive maybe...it was a long, long time ago...during the formative years for many of us ,stumbling out of the post- war Britain we grew up in ( I received " Knowledge " in 1973 ). Our understanding was different. The values( often associated with our religion ) we were taught in our education and upbringing were different .There was no Internet then...not even a calculator !Telly's were ,for the most part ,still black and white .We were "mugs"...but I ,and I suspect John and indeed most of us who post here were VERY SINCERE "MUGS". More sincere I suspect than you could ever understand. Our innocence ,naivity , youthful energy, free labour and fund - raising served the " Perfect Master" very usefully then , when he was only too pleased to accept our trusting and open attempt at Devotion because that's what he said he wanted.
So have a bit more respect Ya 1.
We are not confused. We remember very clearly how it all was.
I don't take kindly to my life and my past being systematically DENIED and even MOCKED. How can you lie like that and look at yourself in the mirror when you shave.
Go to the EPO " journeys" and read John's story before you have the audacity to mock him. Hummmmph!!!
