No. Sounds intriguing. I am glad a former HK is posting here because the similarities of the f. and another destructive cult really jive. The HK still has one supreme leader, I would think that is representative of Krishna in the flesh? I don't know much about them except that one thing I asked a follower when she was explaining why they didn't eat hamburgers (because in participating in eating/killing that cow, you will have to come back and die as a cow, in a similar fashion.)led to a question from me: "Does that mean that Col. Sanders will have to come back as a chicken for every chicken he has had killed?" When she said yes, I just cracked up laughing.
When I met their "MO" at the Watseka temple, well that temple was weird. In the entry way was a big painting of some sort of God with the body of a man, lions head and lots of arms and a person laying across his lap with his guts being torn or something like that. Then when the BSP entered the room, the disciples were all bent into that grovel, mercy, I-am-in-the-presence-of-god position, kissing after his footsteps. Whatever. To me, it is a destructive cult. As a cult gets larger, there is less direct oversight by the "godhead" (except of course, as he may float like mo to check the cupboards for junk food.)
