Da Free John (Adi Da Samraj, Adidam) Today Show 5/9/85 pt 1

[justForTheSuckers]

his wife is a felon in chicago, his other wife trained in politics. he has sex with a lot of his followers. he left kauai to fiji to escape legal ties to drug use. he holds naked parties, has all his followers take psychological testing which results are never seen, makes empty promises relative to people's lives, allows people to starve around him, while he lives damn well. i could be risking my life saying this, but then am suicidal anyhow. what have i got to lose?

WHERE"S PART TWO???

[HydrOxyBoost]

This is hilarious the name of one of the witnesses is Piko Panico.

Ha-ha

What a prank.

[mrpoly5555]

What if he is who he says he is? What a horror to think that when the Divine finally came again, you were busy trying to nail him to another cross. I thought we had learnt.....

He Is the Divine, no doubt. And it will all come out in the infinite wash, so to speak.

[magicdosh]

A friend of mine got quite into this belief system, I tried to read "The knee of listening" - it reads like some acid trip fairy story.

How about a fist fight between Da free, David Miscavitch and "Rev." Moon?!!

[madjym]

seriously looking into the dark pit of human sexuality is going to colour how you are seen by others, but it does need to be done and has been, the results can be judged by reading them for yourself...'the complete yoga of human emotional-sexual life'.

[ParaBhakti]

Jensen, I'm a former student who left after my own shocking experience with Da. Allegations are true. Brian Mahoney was lying when he said they were exagerrated. I know these women and many former members/teachers. All know of, or directly experienced, Da's abuse and perversions. Heartbroken, most left quietly;some sued & agreed to keep quiet as part of settlement. Eg:Steve & Ellen Cutler returned from Fiji(1987)in shock re: Da's sexual abuse. As a result, they and many ministers left.

[whatitis360]

A Da doo-doo, a doo-doo Da

Is all I have to say to you...

[randananda]

randananda

Ah,the bygone buzzwords...Witch...Pinko..Cul­tist

Definitely burn them all!

If a spiritual teacher has no sex, he is dismissed for being too much unlike you, if he does , then he is vilified for being too much like you.What crap.

[sk9utube]

Someone should nuke that whole fucking island.

[sk9utube]

What a sick fuck.

[somavd]

You can also read the transcript of both part 1 and 2. It's at the Rick Ross Institute page on Adi Da.

[JensenBellin]

I was born in this community, and I grew up both in and out of this community. This video is the most amazing piece of pointless lies and slander I have ever seen. None of it is true, I would know. Why would anyone post such a thing? Isn't the world bad enough without posting crap about someone who actually wants to make things better? Shame on you. Shame on you all. Go find something else to hate. Or better yet, do something worth while!

[supralee]

jensen bellin, this man is professional actor he can manipualte with people easly but if you didnt understood this simple thing it is your personal mistake.go home and try to speak like this man and behave like he and you will find that it is easy:)with some training you can manipulate even better.i hope you got it.but all that will ruin otrhers and you.

[supralee]

if you are born in community and so on then why not to find out were have you lived and with whom.if others are wrong then you can laugh if you are wrong then you were at least man!i hope that your courage is not taken away yet!

[mercurius0]

it is important to investigate and find out the truth for yourself. don't be afraid to question your beliefs. if someone is telling you you are brainwashed, then it's your responsibility to look at all the info. you owe it to your sanity.

[delphiyes]

He's hanging out with whores and tax collectors!! Ha ha (that's an old story). Yes, he brainwashed me, now my mind is as clear as glass. Thank you for the enlightenment.

[mrpoly5555]

Great reply : )

[nostalgicme]

I am so pleased to see this video.....this guy is mad - check out ken wilbers comments about this loon at Wilber Online, at shambhala publications

[ellis926]

Anyone can say they were brainwashed. American politics and culture is fundamentally anymore all about brainwashing. What about serious examination of something at depth? There is a new website that speaks to what is communicated in this video called adidaupclose

[fastfriendten]

That site is a totally biased believers' site set up by his followers. Don't be fooled. It's just a front. Not something to be believed.

[mrpoly5555]

Obviously you have not considered the hypocrisy of your comments, namely that YOU are biased about what you choose to believe in. Its good to see Adi Da has offended you, its how he works with the human ego. I recommend you read some of his teachings so you can better understand your reactivity.

[fastfriendten]

Where's part 2?

[RosesOfLife]

Do you have also part 2?

Because I know somebody who believes in it and we all don't trust the hole shit...

[supralee]

da is simply mental case:)

[64lesabre]

The reporting is reasonbly fair. I have studied his Teachings since 1983 and been to both Fiji and California sanctuaries and respect this Teacher. I have two university degrees and am not a fool. Find out more and decide for yourself.

[enginelite]

Even now, the exec's at NBC would probably crucify one of their own people if they thought the "Today Show" could package and produce it as a money maker.

This series was basically a "theme piece" of the kind developed after the real tragedy at Jonestown.

The seemingly negative events described by a few people in 1985 were taken out of context and made to fit the "abusive cult leader" theme.

Too bad there was'nt room for the whole truth!

[GreggaryPeccary]

These followers reek of stupidity.

[GreggaryPeccary]

I do not feel sorry for these people. Just get the guy in jail.

[JAYDUBYAH29]

good that this information is up. da is a dangerous maniac.
