Here's some person's opinion about the Mooji kerfuffle:
[www.youtube.com]
He makes some interesting points regarding the shortcomings of Mooji's teachings and his shortcomings in fulfilling his duties as a "guru".
Regarding the posts implying that this thread is about trying to "topple" Mooji: I don't think that's what this is about. This forum isn't some sort cult avenger posse, is it? I hope not. All allegations against Mooji so far are anonymous so it's hard to estimate their credibility. Mooji deserves compassion like any other person. If we only see the bad in Mooji and not the good, we make the same mistake his cult members make, but in reverse.
Some Mooji followers may suffer from having been brainwashed to some extent, and they may be reading this thread. How can we be of help to them? Not by dismissing and belittling all of the value they have found in Mooji's teachings. I have been caught up in cult-like groups myself in the past and though I've let myself been brainwashed to a certain point, I did also get genuinely beautiful lessons and experiences from them. The way to overcome brainwashing is not to radically dismiss everything as nonsense, but to regain your ability, your authority, to discern truth from untruth for yourself.
