and as far as i know you are an random street dog. not an higher authority so that i take your words as facts.

and Krishna ( aka God ) is male not female cuz female is enjoyed they are not enjoyer. and Krishna is the propertior of everything, friend of everyone, and enjoyer of everything.

I'm not sure what u r talking about but..

Have you heard about polyandry before? It's like polygyny except it refers to a woman marrying more than one man..

to be honest talking about this polyandry and polygyny thing makes me want to...:Sick:

Fratty and out of touch.
This is why Michio Kaku is my favorite theoretical physicist. He believes life is what you make of it; that there is no technical answer or explanation for the mystery.

well.., I think there is something to that whole energy thing... "Whose concious did you consume today?"


I think good Bourbon has an energy... and it doesn't just come from how long it is aged in the barrels.

It also comes from the attitude of the maker... If the Master Distiller loves his craft, then that positive energy is part of that batch, and if he or she is having a particularly good few days, that batch will turn out better.

Want a good bourbon? You need good people making it...

Know the distiller, and you will know why your your bourbon is the way it is...

read book 'monkey on a stick'.

I looked it up and I might just get myself a copy.... Sounds like an interesting read, not too slog a read...

I ordered the book 6th September and it arrived today from England... Now to find time to read it... :laugh8:

It seems as if these days mostly only second hand copies are available and even then, almost impossible to find here in Australia... I did find a second hand copy, an original first published 1988 hard cover copy in excellent condition at a good price through an Australian ebay seller with free postage from England.


Monkey on a Stick: Murder, Madness and the Hare Krishnas
by John Hubner, Lindsey Gruson


This shocking expose by the journalist coauthors will disabuse readers that the Hare Krishna sect is exclusively a group of religious devotees. The movement began with the arrival in the United States in 1966 of Swami Prabhupada, who established himself as a charismatic teacher and as quickly attracted numerous disciples, one of whom was Keith Ham, a Columbia University graduate student who was given the Hindu name of Kirtanananda.

As the movement grew, the founder appointed a group of regional leaders, Kirtanananda among them, who exercised almost unlimited power over the sect's adherents, many of them psychologically damaged people, according to the authors. Nationwide, some members financed the sect by selling drugs and soliciting money for nonexistent charities. Kirtanananda founded a colony called New Vrindaban in West Virginia, where wife-beating, child sexual abuse, rape and even murder took place. The authors document their charges from interviews with Hare Krishna defectors and police and court records, and the cumulative effect is chilling.

Sounds really interesting. Seems like I've heard of this book before somewhere's. Like banned by the CIA or something. Makes me want to read it now.

Religious Sects fascinate me though I would never want to join one. I live in a so called 'alternative' location, a narrow ridge with poor infrastructure surrounded by a World Heritage National Park and Wilderness. Various cults, Secret Religious retreats all fighting for the dollar from misguided tourists and from those not in the know.

Many stories about Strange Lights, UFO bases on the sides of the Mountains, Haunted Houses and Haunted Sites, crypto Black Panters and Yowies (Bigfoot or Sasquatch others call it)... Some of the bushwalk trails have 'Beware of Yowie' signs and in Summer, almost every weekend you hear rescue helicopters forever either rescuing stranded people, abseilers or looking for lost or disorienated bushwalkers... It's a great place to dump dead bodies because you can easily disappear and never be found for decades if ever...

The Twelve Tribes - Amongst other things they're about 'producing an army of 144,000 male virgins, who would prepare the way for Christ's second coming.'

Formerly known as the Vine Christian Community Church also known as the Yello Deli People. An international confederation of religious communities founded by Gene Spriggs (now known as Yoneq) that sprang out of the Jesus Movement in 1972 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Contraversial and stories of child abuse as well as adult abuse, some strange over the top disciplinary ways as well as all the usual things which go along with being cult brainwashed. A good friend of mine lives in the house next door to them and some of the stories I've heard as well as a few things I've observed are rather offputting.

This (article) is local to me, Katoomba and I sometimes go to their Yellow Deli coffee shop... Great looking place with an good atmosphere and once a week they bake various breads which they sell. The food is quite nice other than some sort of a green health cookie (which has a weird taste and smell, and looks like mashed up grass clippings mixed with sea weed).

I call them 'The Feel Good People' because they all dress similar, walk similar, have identical smiles and facial expressions and all seem similarly subdued... all seem so pure and almost naive...

All i can say Merle is that ignorance is bliss. I sometimes wish I could just believe in God and heaven and if I go to church on Sundays I will be OK when I hand in my knives and forks.
But, as a thinking person, I just can't. But with all the stress in my life, if someone could wave a magic wand and say, if you say yes, I will make you believe happy story number 23 and you will live in bliss forever. With what I have been through. I can't be sure I would not say no.

I had a bit of think about that and I'm not convinced it's so simple and if it works quite like that Dundee... Millions believe in a God and worship on a Sunday (or whatever day is their worshipping day) but still, many of those same people say they think too much and get depressed, stressed out and suffer all sorts of ailments....

There's all sorts of added extra pressures in pleasing a God which non believers wouldn't have (maybe?) ... I would think you would need to be, to some degree, on your toes, watching every thing you do and say lest you upset your God and don't get 'saved' or whatever...

I think some of those 'checks and balances' that a godly one would impose upon themselves would turn into an automatic process, like a physical memory of writing, or throwing a ball, or riding a bike...
