And .......?
Didn't you belong to Osho's cult?
Yes I did, as a child I was part of his communes.
We can see that there are cults in practically every type of religion. That's why I try to make a distinction between religion in its spiritual aspect (beliefs, practices, experiences), which can be experienced by a person alone, and the religious structures (churches, groups, organizations) which, because it involves people and power, can be quite harmful.
Where there is power, there is often also abuse.
