Yes, Prem Rawat has caused a lot of damage to a lot of people.  The fact that he lies about it, and tries to hide from it...

Okay smart guy, what did he lie about? And I want something more than just your aggrieved opinion. And please tell me what he is trying to hide from? Your aggrieved opinions? Don't flatter yourselves!

...and in fact seems to sit tacitly by and let his supposedly "peaceful" followers commit criminal acts against those same people

Seems to! Well does he or doesn't he? Are the dots connected by a line or by your imagination?

I do not speak for anybody else.

Well shit, I gave out my last medal just yesterday. Sorry 'bout that mate!

are you saying... it's okay for Prem Rawat to damage people and then lie about it?

I don't say Prem Rawat damaged people, so I certainly don't say he lied about it. I say you've got a victim mentality and you do not take responsibility for your actions. Consequently you must have somebody to blame otherwise you would be unable to accept yourself.

It doesn't sound like you ever made it to college...

What are you, an elitist Joe? What if I didn't make it to college, does that make you better than me? Pompous arse!

I think you will find and I and other ex-premies have openly taken responsibility for our (mostly youthful) errors...

Actually you are quite wrong. Of the ex-premies I know and have encountered, most don't know shit about taking responsibility for their actions.
