I am also wondering what you are so defensive over.

I apologise for any misunderstandings. I do not view you or anyone as an enemy. In Taakatism we learn to accept all, so I would not do that.

My misgivings are mainly directed towards the OP, who has created this thread on an anti-cult forum. It seems a bit like a witch hunt and trying to give Taakatism a bad name. I find this rather dishonest.

However, if you or anyone else here on this forum wishes to learn more about Taakatism then I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

I wish all the happiness in the world to both yourself and all creatures.

DavidXW, if I wanted to follow the religion of taakatism, would I be asked to join a group? What would I be told I need to do?

There is no need to join a group if you don't want to, although it might help your spiritual progress. There is nothing you need to do. It is permissible to follow Taakatism as much or as little as you wish. There is no initiation ceremony and many people who believe in Taakatism mix it with other beliefs. This is freedom.

I wish all the happiness in the world to both yourself and all creatures.

What is taakatism? What does a taakatist do?

The OP linked to Taakatism's website, see here:

[taakatism.webs.com]

Give a read through their holy book. They seem to me to be a Buddhist-type group.

The website does not explain anything about this religion except for three "ethics" of behavior. There is a form for prayer requests but no explanation of what this religion believes about the process of prayer. The downloadable booklet is in a "damaged file" that would not open.

I was hoping DavidXW would be willing to answer questions about this religion, such as:
-->what kind of Deity it worships,
-->how it worships,
-->what kind of spiritual consequences are presented to believers, and
-->what the believers' social relations are like.

Well, let's hope DavidXW gives the answers.

I can say that if it IS a Buddhist offshoot then it probably doesn't worship any deity. I expect DavidXW will confirm this.

To whom it may concern:
