Okay. Enough.
There are over a hundred pages
from all different angles
about FL and his little cult.
(I'm not suggesting that the discussion should end).
But now what?
What is theSOLUTION?
Can we discuss and FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS for:
The children still in the cult?
Members who want to reform things?
People who want out but are afraid?
How would you advise these people?
Support them?
What will make a positive difference in their lives?
I am not sure if there really is a solution, as it is up to each individual within the cult to look at his or her situation and to consider if their lives or their children's lives have been damaged by being within this cult.
I do believe this forum is getting the word out to current members that their Fearless Leader may not be quite what he says he is...
One could ask these people:
* Do you [b:503f237cd0]REALLY[/b:503f237cd0] believe that questioning FL's divinity will put you into God's little black book?
* Do you [b:503f237cd0]REALLY[/b:503f237cd0] believe that questioning Chris Butler's political motives and extragavant lifestyle will be displeasing to Almighty God?
* Do you [b:503f237cd0]REALLY[/b:503f237cd0] believe that giving half of your income, your inheritance, or whatever, to Chris Butler will put you into God's good books?
* Do you [b:503f237cd0]REALLY[/b:503f237cd0] believe that neglecting your children, not looking after their education, not taking care of their financial future, because you are too busy "serving guru" is the correct thing to be doing?
I would also want to advise these people that I, for one, (and probably many others on this forum) have been thankful for FL's lectures and books on Reincarnation, developing a loving relationship with God, not being the material body, etc... [b:503f237cd0]BUT LOOK AT HOW THINGS HAVE DEVELOPED SINCE THEN!!! [/b:503f237cd0]
The latest letter by the Filipino devotee brings up the question of how [b:503f237cd0]INSULAR[/b:503f237cd0] (thanks for this word, Rama!) they have become, and this is [b:503f237cd0]DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD SIGN[/b:503f237cd0]....
Any more ideas out there?
