Can't see what Krishnamurti has to do with Desteni. Desteni is a MLM-style New Wage channeling cult, that worships Hitler and Equal Money For All... Of course Equal Money means....give all your money to Bernard Poolman. Then its all Equal. Its like when kids grow up. They want Equal Money with their rich neighbors, so they bully and mug the rich kid, and steal his stuff. That is E

Even with a mangled translation, you can see the newspaper got it right. It would be good to see the full articles. a cult of gambling, drugs, sex, hitler nazism, fascism, communism...abuse of teenagers. the only thing they forgot is capitalism, as in trying to line their own pockets by any means necessary, under the guise of group communism. (equal money) Equal for you, but not for Poolma

Yes, Desteni ticks all the right boxes when it comes to the 'cult' appellation. There's a very good post at Destenigossip re: the issue of donations for the non-existent second Desteni cult farm and the question of money in general as per Desteni... "Desteni and money… take care, we’re entering bipolar territory here. Desteni started of not really doing much except

Regarding what goes on at the Desteni farm, Poolman and members of Desteni use the illegal drug Ecstasy on an apparently regular basis at the farm. In Process Support - Transcending Existence Poolman suggests that his followers "do the very things you judge as bad... The answer is in the things you judge as bad like sex, money, gambling and all kinds of stuff like that... dare I say,

According to Bernard Poolman, a new global economic system to eradicate poverty is being implemented by his Desteni company. Of course, Desteni can't possibly make economic or political changes anywhere other than on the front porch of the Desteni farm, and it is all just an internet scam to recruit more disciples, but their efforts towards this appears to involve them taking part in fra

Of course it is impossible for me to make any personal judgement about you, Cathy. I have not even attempted to do so, but have pointed out the way in which you have employed jargon invented by Bernard Poolman of Desteni, and how Desteni operates as a group. It is also impossible in this circumstance for another person to make a proper evaluation of your references to giving up gambling or dr
