Isn't that what Jews were required to wear during the first days of the beginning of the Holocaust?  So they could be identified as Jews in public?  then stripped of rights, then segregated, then secretly shipped off to die....

Not that EV would ever go to that length, but the same paranoia is behind it.  The Perfect Master has morphed into a teacher, and love and bliss morphed into secrecy and fear - deep inside.   Even ushers are taught basic body blocks in training and are prepared to throw anything at hand (boots, books) at anyone running towards Rawat onstage.   And where are the checks to this progression of insanity?  Rawat's paranoia is boundless and a believing premie is hostage to it. 

So sure, if we don't like it, Rawat says we can just walk.  Although Joe's right - back in the 70s it used to be "Shape up or ship out".  But when Rawat says "Walk", he says it like a deep blasphemous dare, as if to say, "go ahead, see if you can turn your back on the living Lord of the age".....  He says his love for premies is unconditional, except for when they walk - then it turns to contempt and fear (there's that dirty word again).   Why can't he grow up and get over it - all he has to do is face exes' objections, answer them and explain them.  But all he's ever known how to do is deny, hide, lie, slither underneath yet another glass rock and cowardly tell his few loyals not to read EPO.    Now there's a master, um, teacher to be proud of.
