You Do KNOW harekrishna is a CULT right? Plain and simple for you, ... you have gone from one cult into another one. You didn't pass GO, but you do still have a get out of jail free card... Wake UP!!
LOL. So 'they're' a 'CULT'. Ah, thanks for that warning. I didn't know we had a vote on it and it was decided. I bet you have a lot of experience with them and know all about them.
It seems like most exJW's who post on here fall into three basic groups:
1. raging/angry atheists
2. newly converted Methodists/Catholics/Born Agains/Protestants
3. agnostics who probably will have nothing to do with any organized religion ever again.
Everyone has a right to their opinion. God knows, we all are carrying a lot of baggage from the JW experience. With that said, I would've thought this board, out of all the thousands of religious discussion boards out there, would be the most open minded and curious. Sadly, I'm quickly finding it quite the opposite.
When somebody first mentioned they were having problems with spirits, I thought that would be the start of an open discussion among like minded people. Instead, most people started making fun of that person, as if the original poster were crazy. It strikes me as extremely arrogant to throw mud and verbal insults at what you probably know little about. (Whether it's one's religious choices or whatever).
I mean, didn't we just leave a group that did that all the time? When I escaped the JW's (I was born into it), I vowed to be as open minded and tolerant of other views as humanly possible. I guess I just assumed that all other exJW's would be just as open minded.
Wake UP!!Yes, I did wake up. For once in my life I feel spritually uplifted like I never felt all those years going to the KH. I love
the incredible vegetarian food and the wonderful festivals at the Hare Krishna temple. (All of which have its' roots based on
ancient Indian/Vedic traditions).
All I can say is, keep an open mind. Please stop hurling verbal assaults at religious groups you know nothing about. Try to broaden your horizons and be more tolerant of others. Life is too damn short to keep slinging that mud!
Hare Krishna!
