Hi John and Everyone I think my aim in all this is pretty straightforward: my main concern is that information and points of view about Rawat are easily available on the internet and elsewhere. To that end there are several good websites about Maharaji and what it means to be his follower. If you enter 'Maharaji' into Google, the first ten results give a fair mix of the various attitudes and points of view about Maharaji, both positive and negative. The Forums are an important part of that, and so I think to have a few Forums, with their different styles, is healthy. -- Mike

Or since it is a forum about Prem Rawat, I guess I should say puffy not stuffy. Or puffy and stuffy and full of fluffy platitudes. Okay now Aunt Bea concentrate and try to stay on topic, this is a forum about Prem Rawat.Right, Prem Rawat, former cult leader. Or rather active cult leader of a former cult. I mean active cult leader of an active cult whose members are all former. Okay its an active cult with former members. But some of the members are not former, so you could say it's a cult with a cult following.
I've got to go now – busy day tomorrow.

I agree that the ex-premies have been very successful in getting the other side of the story about Rawat out to the public and to premies (as well as ex-premies, who haven't really dealt with all that stuff). So, thanks to you and John for setting this place up and all the best to everyone. By the way, did you hear that Rawat is scheduled to speak before the Council on Foreign Relations, now that he is an expert on world peace? I heard he was going to do that, right after he addresses the United Nations and right before he appears on Fear Factor on Fox TV. I also heard he has been having an affair with Ann Coulter, who I have heard is really a man.

It scared me at first, then I realised you were joking, then I wondered whether any of it was true after all? It is quite something when you realise that the Lord of the Universe you gave your life to for 30 years is a United Nations peace guy after all! -- Mike

Hi,
Thanks for getting this up and running.
A couple of questions - is the data from f8 lost? And if so, is it possible to do something like a weekly backup of this one?
I think it is a shame to lose some of the info that comes out on these threads - it can be a valuable research source for exiting premies, and must be a growing thorn in Mr Rawat's side.

13,
Just before I went to bed last night I got an email from Lunar Pages saying I could download the F8 data, which they had in a (very large) TAR file. My broadband enabled associates are currently dealing with this, so hopefully we will get all the F8 posts in an archive soon.
John.

That's good news then. I will sleep easy tonight, knowing it is all being taken care of!

I would be very happy if forum 8 data is restored. I did a lot of thinking in the postings there. Andries
