Hi Joe,

You always brings up so many good points; yes, I always read your posts.

You said: 

But the idea that Rawat doesn't have the main responsibility for the damage he caused, and instead to blame the victim is absurd and offensive.

It is also very offensive, after all our devotion, obedience and years and money wasted, he had the nerves to call us unlight matches. He call us "members of a hate group" and by doing that he hurt many of us even further.  Can you imagine being called by your own child that, when she/he cannot even remember going to events and being brainwashed by the ex-Lord of the whole Universe?

Beacuse, you see, one knows that with certainty your children could have grown strong and centered, but they didn't. All the morals we knew before entering the cult were washed away, our identities, therefore, one knows too that they are going to have trouble facing the real world.  They are now showing the signs of maladjustment and that hurts.  For many of us is no ending to witnessing the degree of how M affected us.

Presenting events to help him get richer ( I wish I knew he was fake much, much sooner) was more important.  Our children could have received much more from us parents if it wasn't that we were busy, serving him. 

Oh yes, life is great, it was even greater before crossing our path with the "EX-Speaker".

Lexy and Elaiineeeee are so lucky.  Is always a "pleasure" to be slapped by THEIR truth.

In 1983, it was announced that all the ashrams were going to be closed. Many ashram residents were devastated, having dedicated years of their lives to Maharaji and believing, as they had been repeatedly told by Maharaji and the initiators, that it was a life-long commitment. Most had forsaken careers and families to dedicate their lives to him. Now, in their 30's, they suddenly faced having to start their lives over.

.....and many couldn't.  Too broken in pieces to get ahead.  One of my dearest premies is drinking himself to death.  His old, concerned parents don't know how to help him.  Wait, I should just smile, and go away, and jump of happiness because I'm out of the cult.  Sure...

This life went fast, and what if there is no other one?  Oh wait, M told us that when somebody was drowning to push'em further down.  What a loving little god.

Henna, happy to feel human again.
