I wonder why is Jukaan has not been ban yet. his brains is fill with BS, no one could even talk to him and he hardly listen..
I wanted to ask him if other intelligent species are in contact with GOD..?!
I Think he had a few valid points burried deep down in all of his trolling rants
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...
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.I ordered the book 6th September and it arrived today from England... Now to find time to read it...
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.
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....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.
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...
