Hi Susan,

It's not just that so many gave up their educations and careers for Prem Rawat, it's that he now asks, under that banner of the United Nations, that people give up their most basic human rights under the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- Article 19

http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html

and their First Amendment Rights under the U.S. Constitution, just to be able to inquire about Knowledge if they want to view "The Keys," the only method now available to "Discover More," and ultimately receivie knowledge.

This is a community college in the United States. Colleges receive public funding from taxpayers!  Elan Vital is a registered church in the U.S.   This is a wonderful development.  I really love it when Prem Rawat shoots himself in the feet to such a degree. 

But, the sweetest part of this is that this community college has a campus in Hialeah, Florida -- the heart of DECA country.  It was established in 1980, so at the same time we were cloistered in Maharaji's slave-labor compound, surrendering everything, our bodies, minds and souls to him, not studying, not educating ourselves, and not even thinking about educations and careers, normal people our age were getting their degrees in the DECA neighborhood!  I probably drove by it so many times. 

Since 1980, the Center has been serving the Hialeah community and Miami-Dade County including the greater Hialeah Miami-Lakes area.

I really, really am loving this; the irony is too rich.
