"The person called Prem Rawat is not the omnscient, omnipresent being that we refer to as God. He is however, a human being with a very special status that has previously been applied to Jesus Christ and Gautama the Buddha. Consequently, he is worthy of being called 'The Lord' by those who recognise that status. Prem Rawat, Elan Vital, and most followers of Rawat, do not publicly claim this status for Rawat, but allow his followers to discover this for themselves in their own time. By not publicly declaring their belief in Rawat's exalted status, Prem Rawat, Elan Vital and premies are not lying, but they are being evasive for a noble purpose. This purpose is to prevent newcomers to Rawat's message misunderstanding Rawat and his message because they have an incorrect pre-conceived idea of what the Christ and the Buddha are."

Not bad John! You got it close for once.
