That was really stupid, and premies who say stuff like this aren't even embarassed.

Well, they are anonymous, so maybe no one will know.  But even premies who aren't anonymous will say outrageous things to rationalize Rawat's claims to be God, when they would never do that kind of thing in any other arena.

Your post is about the dumbest so far, but I have heard other things that made me sigh just as much.

About a year ago, I had one very intelligent and otherwise lucid premie swear straight face to me that Maharaji  was never a living deity to him.  ("You didn't actually believe that, Joe did you?' - after singing Arti right next to me, with full pranams,  for years).

One other premie I also lived with in the ashram with felt very disaffected and disenfranchised and was dissing Maharaji as a very imperfect Perfect Master with lots of problems, and told me how sad he was that Rawat was such a failure, but this guy was still stuck in some strange Twilight Zone because maybe Maharaji is some whacked out  Lord giving them the big test...

I was just kind of flabergasted by those comments, and almost didn't know what to say, except, "oh, come on!"

Jim and Cynthia and Hilltop just seem to have endless energy to dig up the quotes and try to argue with people like you, and I take my hat off to them, but actual facts just don't cut it, because this is not a rational discussion. 

Technicolor Lord Delusional Believers is what they say they are, even if all "Coolchilld" websites try to reinvent them.

Premies are a huge problem for Rawat, aren't they?
