I agree that there are many premies, maybe most, who never talk about knowledge or Rawat to anyone who isn't a premie, and even very little to them.  It might be partly embarassment, and a feeling that they have a lot more to lose world-wise then they did in 1974.

But even those who don't care about that, and would like to progagate, are constrained from telling the truth to people about what they actually believe.  They have to adhere to the cult-line, whatever it is at the time, and it keeps changing.  So, I think most premies, even if they wanted to do propagation, just give up, or if they do it, it comes across as fake, because most people sense they are not getting the whole story, or a line of some sort.

And one other thing.  Rawat has been very critical of premies and how they are incapable of doing anything right.  I was amazed when I saw the Atlanta Training video from 2000, about how Rawat screamed at the premies (and these were the church ladies), about how they better not screw up, "spread concepts," or otherwise mess up propagation, which was going down the toilet in North America, according to Rawat.  I felt that the only thing someone could come out of that meeting feeling was fear of screwing up propagation.  So, if that's true, why would they even try?

Rawat has done everything possible to piss all over the natural enthusiasm premies might have (misguided though it is for M and K), and then he bitches about how propagation isn't happening.  So, if I was a premie, I'm sure I would feel like you did -- relieved that Rawat was handling it and I don't have to.

I agree that most premies never tell anyone about knowledge, but I think it's partly because they feel a little dishonest giving the company line, and/or they actually don't know what to say.  Also agree that it's doomed -- propagation that is.  It will be interesting to watch, though.

John, who was upset about being exposed as a premie by John's article in Australia?  I hadn't heard that before.
