I think you are pretty level headed about things. Do you have any opinions/guesses about the age/abuse issues brought up about Marolyn and Prem?  I just don't know what to think about it other than it is a legitimate question.

I keep thinking if it were a 15 year old girl and a 24-25 year old devotee we might think the devotee was perhaps abusing the Perfect Mistress even if she was supposedly the LOTU. If Wadi had been in a position, at 15 to be the leader of the cult, and some devotee who appeared very devoted and 25 engaged in a romantic relationship with her I think there would be a great deal of speculation that the motives were not pure devotion.

With Marolyn, whom I do not know, I have this impression of her being sort of flighty and gopi like. I guess I am not sure I really even buy what I am saying. What you bring up of him verbally bashing her doesn't fit into her having a lot of power in the relationship.

Also, does anyone know the inside story ( as if we could really know ) on which one stepped out of the marraige first? I would swear I heard the rumors about Marolyn betraying him while I was still a premie.
