You got lucky….By being more cautious than they were.

Cautious means being careful and avoiding risk or danger or problems. It can also mean being prudent and watchful, or exercising forethought.

Lucky means meeting with unforeseen success. Favorable chance.

I guess some kids have it and some don’t, huh?

I’m reading exactly what you’re writing. In fact, trying to get it down to minimum wordage to try to get you to understand how it’s landing. The words you’re choosing are your responsibility, not mine.

“Free love lead to unforeseen consequences “…and “ too friendly” annd “not impeccable “ are interesting choices for unethical, unfair and some horrific acts. Cmon now. Your use of soft and flowery language is for a reason. Think about it.

As opposed to those who “allowed” them to approach?. You really don’t see anything wrong with what you’re saying? You’re victim blaming.

“Victim blaming can be defined as someone saying, implying, or treating a person who has experienced harmful or abusive behaviour (such as a survivor of sexual violence) like it was a result of something they did or said, instead of placing the responsibility where it belongs: on the person who harmed them

These responses often stem from a belief that there are specific things people can do to avoid being harmed, a comforting belief that increases the bias holder’s feeling of safety….”

Yep @Jeroen, Sheela did it.
His closest disciple. Blame someone else. Preferably a woman.

Watch the documentary and find any proof a normal person needs.

Do you feel people who support Bhagwan and his continuing communes are incapable of lying, exposure and criminality?

I am not your deprogrammer incidentally. Here you go though...

I am certain you are wrong.

Pedophiles, predators, self entitled parents, enablers, El Papa Popes, Dali lama's etc are adults AND choose their ‘priorities’ and blind eyes.

Do we protect:

• vulnerable
• less adept
• immature with ‘I'm mature’

…who do not always have the capacity to choose their abusers?

We are all hypocrites when it comes to our capacities, predilections and choices.

No one is an exception. Apart from?

This is a post by a lobster hypocrite

I’m not in need of a deprogrammer, but thanks for thinking of me. From all the hours of discourses I’ve listened to, I have a pretty sound idea of who Bhagwan was, and he wasn’t a pedophile. And yes, a lot of the crimes on the Ranch did originate with Sheela and her gang of cronies. A lot of the worst abuse stories seem to originate from the English commune Medina, far away from the Ranch.

As far as the current commune leadership is concerned, I don’t really know that much about them, although I have heard they are not impeccable in their conduct, mostly around financial matters.

I was just reading this…
