Of course if you are going to be unsympathetic towards Maharaji, you could make a big deal over his definition of "God". Just like I could make a big deal out of you saying you are an "ex-premie". I could say that since "premie" means "lover of God" or "lover of truth", you are therefore clearly implying that you are now an "ex-lover of God", an "ex-lover of truth", that you used to be a lover of God, a lover of truth, but now you have clearly implied you are no longer a lover of God, no longer a lover of truth. Maybe that's not a great example, but I hope you get the point - that logically I could make that argument, if I was unsympathetic to what you really mean, if I refused to acknowledge the context in which it was said, if I wished to be simplistically literal about the meaning of "ex-premie".

You didn't want to get into literal definitions, but now you so conveniently have done just that!  "Premie" is the moniker that was/is used to describe a follower of Prem Rawat.  Ex-Premie is someone who is no longer a follower or believer in Rawat  It's as simple as that.

Also very simple is that with the exception of a few off-the-wall premies, I don't konw of any "premies" who ever claimed to be the Satguru, Lord, Lord God, Greatest Incarnation ever to trod the Earth, or any variation of these.  Rawat also said that "Guru is greater than God."  

I did ask you about the recent quote of Rawat when he said, "I'm proud to be a human being."  I find that weird for someone to say, when he's been a human being all of his life.  Obviously, Rawat has some explaining to do about how his "premies" view him, but he tends to blame his followers for the "misunderstanding."  

Once again, I never once heard Rawat disabuse the premies about our blatant worship of him, especially when we were in the ashram or at festivals.
