WHY I AM NOT A "Beas" Satsangi: 1. I was born blind. [see Dera's policy against initiating blind people] 2. I am a practicing homosexual. [read Quest for Light for what it says about being gay] 3. I am Jewish and Julian Johnson scares me. [read With a great Master in India] 4. I think Shiv Dayal Singh smoked more than tobacco in his infamous huqqa [see the Biography of Soamiji Maharaj] 5. I like to discuss Sant Mat on the Internet. [See Dera's prohibitions against E-mail and Websites in latest newsletters] 6. "Seva" is a euphemism for "we don't want to pay you minimum wage." [see the October newsletter from the West Coast] 7. The Founder of Radhasoami had females "suck" his toes and derive nectar from doing so. Where's Freud when you need him? [see the biography of Soamiji Maharaj] 8. Abortions at the Dera Charitable Hospital at Beas? [see reports from nurses at the Dera in 1989] 9. I remember when the guru just wanted to be called "brother" not father-dear. [New Dera instructions asking for followers to call the guru "Master" or "Babaji"] 10. I think the guru has too many "first-class" frequent flyer miles. [Riddle: how many times did the guru come to the USA this summer?] 11. I never liked the song, "it's a family affair." [see the by-laws of R.S. Beas about how to appoint a "Patron"] 12. I like cheese pizza, but I can do without the leather running shoes. [See Dera's latest memo on rennett, but not on jogging shoes] 13. I don't think the Dera has enough real estate. [Petaluma to Hawaii to North Carolina to South Africa to ?] 14. I don't think the sevadars shove the old people hard enough during money seva [go to the Dera during a bhandara] 15. I didn't realize that "Sant Mat" was a trademarked term. [The Dera has assigned a lawyer to "trademark" a number of Sant Mat terms in the USA] 16. I want to keep my "notes" from Palm Springs. [The Dera does not allow note taking of the guru's satsangs] 17. I feel like I have had a frontal lobotomy every time I read John Davidson. [just try reading his books on evolution or "subtle" energy] 18. I discovered that dopamine and the astral plane have a lot in common [read Susan Blackmore and Ronald Siegel] 19. I don't want to return my copy of ORIGIN and GROWTH back to the Dera, especially when they won't provide a comprehensive reason. submitted by: Mr. Suto Nimm in honor of free speech --------------------------
