'Lost her rag' is precisely what happened at that event, as anyone who was there could have told you. (It was this incident and the venom behind it that got at least a couple of the party faithful questioning their loyalty to J and J and the Template set-up).
Nothing derogatory in what I said about women either, I would probably have said the same if it was Jiva who had thrown his toys out of his pram.
I'm veggie (definitely not vegan!) myself but dont see the point of lecturing or haranguing people to do as I do (always seems to be counter-productive, brings out most people's inner rebel), and I don't like being told what I can and can't eat myself! People can decide for themselves, they don't need to be turned upon and publicly humiliated just for asking a question at an event.
I'm afraid that I do see them as setting themselves up as 'replacement gurus', especially when they have a marked tendency to be very sanctimonious and condemning of others who do not do exactly as they say.
As for money, you would have to very close to them and their inner circle to know for sure precisely how much is coming in and out, but they always want more...
I agree about the Bhagwan, came across people who had been badly burned by him and his set up in various ways.
Good luck with your Template journey. I'm well and truly at the end of mine, as are plenty of others who have seen the other side of it all.
