I was using "revisionism" in it's forum8 meaning of presenting a false history of DLM/EV for propaganda reasons. I see no problem with both acknowledging that DLM/EV was and is a cult based upon a charismatic leader and his worship and the fact that for the majority of members it is enjoyable and was especially so for the majority of its members who joined as young people in the 1970's. I am only too well aware that many present premies have a false view of the past conditioned by 30 years of "satsang" and lack of rigour in thinking about it and some of them promote a deliberatively deceptive history in an attempt to make Prem Rawat look good.

As I remained in DLM/EV for what I saw as positive reasons then that is what I speak about, if you had other reasons by all means discuss them, they won't invalidate mine.

How we were 30 years ago and what we did are inextricably bound and as I was nought but a lowly premie none of my actions of the time have had any effect upon others except my family members and most of them have pretty well forgotten the whole thing.
