I agree with you Jim, it's impossible to be "non-judgemental" when you are talking about your relationships. If someone is a friend, we have already judged them and pronounced them, "friend". If we then have a major disagreement with them about something, for example, politics or religion, we either have to preserve the friendship, by coming to some arrangement which satisfies both parties, (stay off the topic unless someone else brings it up, seems to solve the problem), or end the relationship altogether.

It's not that the subject is taboo, it's more like the discussion soon reaches a brick wall, as premies can become uncomfortable when you attack their basic religious beliefs. My friends have all heard me express my feelings about Rawat and the cult, I'm not on a mission to deprogramme them and I don't want to ram it down their throats. They seem to be slowly leaving the cult without my help anyway.

Several of my friends, however, did break off contact with me. Thinking about it, most of them are "career premies", and they probably don't want to lose their jobs or position in the cult. One of them told me he saw me as a "threat to his lifestyle" and wanted conditions on my behaviour, if he was going to communicate with me. What a fucking disappointment. This is a guy who was a radical activist for freedom in the 60s.   He sees our conversations here on the forum as undermining their Masters' mission on earth.- which I suppose they do. Anyway, you win some, you lose some, but I value the friendship of my premie pals just as much as my non and ex premie pals.

Anyway, it will all come out in the wash.

Anth, a thousand miiiiiiiiiiiiiles behind.
