- I reread my post and I can see where some might find it a little critical against
- ECKANKAR. I did not view your post as being a "hard sell". I found your post
- informative and I think I took it in the spirit you intended. I just wanted to
- add another point of data for those that might want to do research along the lines
- you suggested. I am not qualified to judge one group or belief against another,
- but I did mention some of the things I look for when passing judgement on a
- particular group. If someone found one organization more to their liking for
- whatever reason, now they have more information to go on.
-
- I look forward to any more information you have on the OOBE subject that comes
- from your experiences and reading. I also appreciate that fact that you were
- just supplying the net with a source of information and not using the net to
- "convert" or recruit...
