IndoctriNation Show: A Master Class in Manipulation w/ Daniel Barban Levin

"Daniel Levin is an award-winning writer living in Los Angeles. He holds an MFA in poetry from the University of California, Irvine, where he taught creative writing and rhetoric. His writing has appeared in Provincetown Arts, The Sarah Lawrence Review, The Westchester Review, and The Bennington Review. During his time at Sarah Lawrence College Dan, as a 19-year-old sophomore, got involved with Larry Ray, the leader of what turned out to be a dangerous cult. Dan has written about these harrowing experiences in his new memoir SLONIM WOODS 9 A stunning firsthand account of the creation of a modern cult and the costs paid by its young victims. In the first half of their two-part conversation, Daniel shares with Rachel how he first came into contact with Larry Ray the dangerous cult leader, currently on federal trial for sex trafficking, extortion, conspiracy, and a string of other crimes. He discusses how Larry was able to evade detection on campus even while living in dormitories. Together Rachel and Daniel examine what he was feeling as he fell under the control of this manipulative and dangerous man, pointing out the red flags and explaining what prevented him from seeing them at the time. Before you go: Rachel addresses the most asked question cult survivors get; "why did you stay"? with regard to Daniel but also in general pointing out the commonalities of those who linger in abusive situations."

NY Post: Top Hillsong megachurch pastor resigns day before doc premieres

"A lead pastor for Hillsong megachurch has stepped down — mere hours before the premiere of a docuseries about the institution's recent scandals.

"It is with great sadness that I inform you of my departure from Hillsong," Sam Collier, the now-former lead pastor of the Australia-born church's Atlanta, Ga., branch, began a Wednesday Instagram post announcing his departure. "My greatest reason for stepping down as Pastor of Hillsong Atlanta is probably not a secret to any of you. With all of the documentaries, scandals, articles, accusations and the church's subsequent management of these attacks it's become too difficult to lead and grow a young Church in this environment."

Collier, 33, goes on to reassure readers that he believes Hillsong "will get through this storm and come out better than they were before," adding in an Instagram Story that "we still consider [Hillsong] family" and "they are not our enemies." The post concludes with an open invitation to Collier's final Hillsong service — and an announcement that he is launching a new congregation called Story Church this Easter Sunday."

Insider: Saving $10,000 to leave my fundamentalist family and church made it clear that money is power — and I have it

"I was brought up in an ultra-religious, conservative Christian home. There are four of us children — myself, and three boys.

As the only female child, I was subjected to rules that didn't apply to my brothers. I was to learn to be submissive, fulfill the wishes and needs of whatever man I ended up marrying, and practice those skills of subservience with my father and brothers.

Marriage to a man, of course, was out of the question to me. I'm a lesbian, and have been comfortably identifying as such for many years, even in the face of the horrified opposition of my family.

I was 14 when my mother began running interventions on me due to my sexuality, which ultimately culminated in me being sent to conversion therapy at age 16.

I knew that I wanted to get out, but it took me a few years to find a path out of fundamentalism.

When I was 12, I began working as a babysitter, earning some of my own money. My family insisted I donate at least 10% of my earnings to our church — the standard Christian deduction.

After high school, I worked multiple jobs including being a dog walker, a tutor, and a nursing home assistant. I didn't have a grand plan to save money to leave my family's home or anything like that — it simply helped give me an excuse to not be home and gave me purpose in my life.

However, when COVID-19 hit, I was forced to majorly cut back my hours of work, like so many other Americans did.

When I was alone with my thoughts — not consumed with work — it dawned on me that I had accumulated almost $10,000 working my life away. I realized that I could now leave my family and community.

I used some of the money I had saved to purchase a car. Then, I chose to use continuing my education as the guise under which to leave.

I found a place to live near the school I planned to attend and moved there a month before classes were set to begin. That was two years ago, and I haven't looked back since."

RNS: Mormon support for same-sex marriage has doubled in the last decade, survey shows

Mormons have broadened their support for LGBTQ rights in three key areas, though they still lag the nation in supporting the right of gay couples to get married — or to walk into any bakery in the country and buy themselves a wedding cake.

The Public Religion Research Institute last week released the latest findings in its ongoing project of assessing Americans' feelings about LGBTQ issues.

On three issues in particular, Latter-day Saints (Mormons) are still more conservative than the nation, but show a broadening of LGBTQ support compared with past surveys.

On the issue of same-sex marriage, Latter-day Saints' support has been gradually rising along with the rest of the nation's. In 2011, for example, fewer than a quarter favored allowing same-sex couples to marry legally. In 2021, the survey just released, that had doubled to 46%."

" ... On nondiscrimination toward LGBTQ Americans, Mormons are actually even more supportive than the nation as a whole.

Among Americans in general, 79% say they are in favor of "laws that would protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from discrimination in jobs, public accommodations and housing." With Mormons the figure is 5 points higher, at 84%."

" ... On the other hand, Mormons generally feel that it's permissible for "a small business owner in your state to refuse to provide products or services to gay and lesbian people, if doing so violates their religious beliefs." Two-thirds (66%) of Americans said that refusing service is not OK, but only 44% of Mormons did."

ICSA Annual Conference: The Power of Story
Nori Muster; Sunday, June 26, 2022; 11:00 AM-11:50 AM - online

It's human nature to make up stories, and we all make up our own story. We piece it together with the events we feel shaped our lives. Once we have a fixed story, we learn to play the role of the protagonist. Thus, the story we tell ourselves about ourselves shapes our behavior, the decisions we make, and the life we create for ourselves. As ex-members, we may feel like failures for joining a cult, and our story may reflect our rationalizations to justify our mistakes. Stories based on guilt and grief hold us back. We may think, "that's just the way it is," and believe we can't change it. However, changing our stories can change our lives.

 

Nori Muster was in the Hare Krishna organization, ISKCON, for ten years, 1978 to 1988. For thirty years after leaving the group, she clung to the negative story about how the cult ruined her life. She believed joining the group was an unforgivable mistake, and she attributed her failures to her parents' divorce in 1970 that traumatized her as a fourteen-year old. This story was embedded in her consciousness for decades and seemed impossible to change. However, in the last three years, through intensive writing and studying her dream journals, Nori created a new, positive life story. Reading over the journal helped because she found the dreams non-judgmental and forgiving of her daytime self. Instead of feeling permanently broken, she has written a new life story of meaningful experiences and love, and she cherishes her younger self. Along with her discussion of story, she will briefly describe the dream journal project she started in 2016. After the presentation, she will take questions and listen to others' stories.

 

Nori Muster, MS, is the author of Betrayal of the Spirit: My Life Behind the Headlines of the Hare Krishna Movement (University of Illinois Press, 1997), Cult Survivors Handbook: Seven Paths to an Authentic Life (2010), and Child of the Cult (2012).

She is currently a freelance writer and adjunct professor, based in Arizona.

ISKCON: Setting a Standard for Ethical Behavior in ISKCON

"After two years of research, writing, and debate, the GBC recently ratified and voted into ISKCON law a Code of Ethical Behavior. We spoke with the Code's author, Yogesvara dasa, about the background to the Code and what changes he hopes to see in Srila Prabhupada's movement thanks to its passage. The full official Code can be found through the GBC website."

 

Heritage Daily: Publication of 500-year-old manuscript exposes medieval beliefs and religious cults

." ... Turner's analysis suggests a prosperous pilgrim was possibly the owner of the Bromholm prayer roll – made from two pieces of vellum stitched together, and bought by a private collector in the 1970s.

"The roll reflects a time when the laity (non-clergy) had a real belief in both visible and invisible enemies," says Turner, who has worked at Tate Britain, the Arts Council, and as a consultant for Christie's and at the Courtauld.

"For their owners, prayer rolls…were prized as very personal inspirations to prayer, although during the Reformation and after they were commonly undervalued and dismissed.

"The survival of such a magnificent roll for over 500 years is therefore remarkable."

Attaching animal skin pieces end to end in a continuous strip to make a 'roll' was once the standard method of presenting text. Few medieval prayer rolls survive today because they lacked covers yet were made to be handled. This one is 13cm wide, by a metre long.

Worshippers regularly touched or kissed images of Jesus on the cross in an attempt, says Turner, "to experience Christ's Passion more directly and powerfully". Indeed, the historian reveals abrasion marks are visible on the Bromholm roll where the owner has engaged in such a 'devotional act identified in other similar rolls'."

The Chronicle: Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Filed Against Pierce County Jehovah's Witnesses Congregation

"A survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a member of a Jehovah's Witnesses congregation in Pierce County recently sued the organization.

Moriah Hughes, 24, filed her lawsuit last month in Pierce County Superior Court against the Milton Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

It says her abuser was a "baptized publisher," that he used his position to perpetrate the abuse, and that the church had information about similar allegations made against him by another congregation. He was later charged and sentenced in King County Superior Court for abusing Hughes and another girl.

"... the Milton Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses knew or should have known that he posed a threat of foreseeable harm to Moriah Hughes, but it failed to take reasonable steps to protect Moriah Hughes from that harm," the lawsuit said.

It also names other organizations as part of the church's hierarchy: the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses and Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses."

Elko Daily: Museum's upcoming exhibit is an experiential enterprise

"A new exhibit has opened at Northeastern Nevada Museum, one that combines physical art forms with a live presentation from "Rev. Jacob Ernest Deewt," around whom the story and the artwork revolve.

"I've been working on a trilogy of art exhibitions since 2015," said Reno artist Eric Brooks.

Brooks said these works are about his rebirth into society after 28 years of being a Jehovah's Witness, including working at the world headquarters and eight years of missionary life."

ABC4: Chad Daybell may testify in Lori Vallow hearing

"Newly-filed court documents reveal new details in the case of two missing Idaho siblings. The husband of these children's mother may be called to take the stand.
According to East Idaho News, Chad Daybell may be called to testify at Lori Vallow's next hearing.
Prosecutors say under Idaho rules, Daybell cannot claim husband and wife privilege. That means the information the couple shared with each other is not confidential.
Vallow is charged in the disappearance of her two children 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan. The children have not been seen since September 2019."

Obituary: Hansadutta das (1941-2020)

"Hansadutta Swami (also known as Hansadutta Dasa, born as Hans Kary; May 27, 1941, Braunschweig, Germany - April 25, 2020, California) was a Hare Krishna guru and one of the senior disciples of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada."

" ... In 1980, Hansadutta was arrested for possession of illegal weapons. On July 8, 1983, the Governing Body Commission of ISKCON passed a resolution demoting Hansadutta from sannyasa and taking away his responsibilities in ISKCON."

" ... In 1997, Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc. and ISKCON of California, Inc. initiated legal action against Hansadutta, seeking court declaration that Bhaktivedanta Swami's Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (California, 1972) was not a legal entity and/or Hansadutta was not a legal trustee of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust. On November 13, 1998, Hansadutta agreed to a stipulated court settlement that effectively terminated any claims he might have had to being a trustee of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust conditional upon receipt of an undisclosed cash settlement and license to publish the original, unrevised books of Bhaktivedanta Swami."

AZ Central: Bisbee man confesses he's molesting his daughter. Church tells bishop not to report abuse to authorities

"When a Bisbee man told his Mormon bishop he was sexually abusing his own 5-year-old daughter, the bishop provided counseling. He involved the man's wife in the sessions, apparently hoping that knowledge of her husband's activities would prompt her to keep their children safe.

What the bishop didn't do was report the abuse to police. He didn't have to. Although Arizona law classifies clergy, as well as many others, as mandatory reporters of child abuse, there is an exception for clergy to not report if they believe it is "reasonable and necessary within the concepts of the religion."

The bishop's counseling sessions apparently had little effect. The man continued to molest his daughter, and later, after her birth in 2015, his infant daughter. He made videos of the encounters and posted them on pornographic websites, which were eventually discovered by Interpol, reported to his employer, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and led to criminal charges."

Times of Israel: US ultra-Orthodox whistleblowers targeted as traitors, including amid pandemic

NY Jews who inform authorities about prayer services held despite virus rules face harassment, threats, as community shuns outside intervention.

"Jacob Kornbluh was walking past his synagogue in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park on Passover when he noticed a light on inside the building. Knowing that the synagogue had been closed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, he looked inside and saw approximately 40 people praying.

"I said to myself this can't be true," said Kornbluh, a political reporter for Jewish Insider and a member of the ultra-Orthodox community. "I know for a fact that this shul was ordered to be closed and the main door was locked."

After the holiday, Kornbluh filed a complaint with New York City's social distancing complaint hotline and a few days later posted a video to Twitter that has been deleted of himself confronting a man leaving the same synagogue before Shabbat.

The video would land Kornbluh's name and face on a "pashkevil," a flyer commonly posted in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods to spread information. This particular pashkevil was posted online and labeled Kornbluh and two others "mosrim," informers who betray fellow Jews to secular authorities. Some who shared the flyer on Twitter even quoted the medieval Jewish philosopher Maimonides, who wrote that it's permissible to kill a moser."

How a missing treasure vault key is causing a commotion in India

A top temple administrator was recently fired after it was revealed that the key to the temple’s vault, containing millions of dollars’ worth of antiquities, had disappeared

Kai Schultz
Suhasini Raj 

The Independent
August 22, 2018




A group of men assemble outside a 12th century temple on a hot April day in Puri, India, preparing to venture deep inside to a pitch-black vault where piles of gold and silver jewellery are stored under lock and key.

To enter Jagannath Temple, dedicated to an important Hindu deity, the group of 16 archaeologists, Hindu priests and government officials have to pass through metal detectors. Their skimpy loincloths are required as a security measure along with oxygen masks in case the vault, unopened for more than three decades, lacks breathable air.

Their instructions are simple: check the structural integrity of the vault and ignore the millions of dollars’ worth of antiquities stashed inside.

Anyone who spends much time in India’s Hindu temples is accustomed to being just steps from extreme wealth. Locked away in hundreds of the country’s largest temples is a staggering amount of gold, weighing as much as 8.8 million pounds, the World Gold Council has estimates. Under current market rates, that stockpile would be worth roughly $160bn (£121bn).

But despite their abundance of ancient riches, India’s temples are often poorly managed. With security measures lacking, they can be a tantalising target for thieves.


The April expedition does not take long. An hour after entering the temple, the men emerge, telling a crowd of waiting pilgrims that they had not needed to enter the locked vault, known as the Ratna Bhandar, because they had been able to peer inside through the bars of a gate.

But two months later, another explanation was leaked to local news outlets: the men had not been able to go in because the keys to the vault were missing.
The response is swift. A top temple administrator is fired. Officials with the state government of Odisha, which includes Puri, call for an investigation. Soon after, they discover that eight pounds of gold donated by visitors was also missing from the temple’s administrative offices.

Around Odisha, suspicion quickly mounts that some of the antique jewellery in the vault had been pilfered by what a local journalist, Sandeep Sahu, calls “a criminal nexus of temple officials and servitors” who had access to the keys.

The theft of riches from temples is common in India. In one of the largest such cases, a New York art dealer, Subhash Kapoor, is implicated in the theft of $100m worth of rare antiquities from remote, unguarded temples across India.
Operation Hidden Idol, as the investigation involving Kapoor is called, found that some of the items, such as a 1,000-year-old bronze statue of the elephant-headed Ganesha, ended up at the world’s leading museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Kapoor is facing trial in India.

But the hive-shaped Jagannath Temple in Puri, which forms part of the pilgrimage known as Char Dham – a four-part circuit travelled by Hindus to attain salvation – is far from an easy target.

A tight-lipped committee controls who can enter, where donations of money or jewellery are stored and how that information is disseminated to the public. The strict entry rules are designed to safeguard both the temple’s status as a sacred space and the treasures it contains.

In 1984, Indira Gandhi, then prime minister, was famously denied entry because her husband was a follower of Zoroastrianism, an ancient monotheistic religion. Even today, priests guard the entrance, turning away non-Hindus and some non-Indians from sects such as Hare Krishna, which is popular in the West.

An internal temple report from 1978 explained the policy – unusual for temples in India – with an analogy: “If the petals of a beautiful rose are torn and dissected for the purpose of investigating the ingredients of its colour and smell, then the rose no longer remains a rose. It becomes rubbish to be thrown away.”

In the 1930s, Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of India’s independence movement, refused to enter the temple in protest against its entry restrictions, according to Ramachandra Guha, an Indian historian. The temple eventually opened its doors to some Hindus who had been barred previously, including Dalits, a lower caste. But the insular mindset remains.

This year, the temple made headlines when India’s Supreme Court suggested changing the rule preventing non-Hindus from entering. But many recommendations were abandoned.

“There’s a very long history of absolute reactionist bigotry,” Guha says of the temple’s exclusionary policies.

Reports of internal strife have also tarnished the temple’s reputation over past decades. Managers of the temple said in the 1978 report that “misappropriation, theft, lawlessness, harassment of pilgrims and exploitation had become the order of the day”.

That same year, to encourage transparency, an inventory was made of the vault. Temple officials reported finding a hoard of nearly 500 pounds of antique silver and gold ornamental jewellery designed to adorn statues of gods.

The vault last was opened in 1985, according to RN Mishra, a former temple administrator, who says he and a group of officials had retrieved some gold for maintenance work and promptly returned the key to the district treasury.

After the furore this year over the loss of the key, temple caretakers say they found a duplicate in the record room of the local magistrate’s office. Instead of quelling anger, the apparent discovery inspired more questions: when was the duplicate key made? Was it real? And where was the original?

Mishra calls the loss of the original key a “gross negligence”, and says that a duplicate had not existed when he was administrator and that he was not aware of one ever having been made. “One key, one lock,” he says.

Dibyasingha Deb, a member of Puri’s royal family and chairman of the temple’s managing committee, says accusations of mismanagement are unfair. He shifts blame to outsiders trying to “make us a laughing stock”.

“When people write about these incidents, and they don’t have any faith in our religion, our culture, they would like to make it a very sarcastic sort of a way of projecting things,” he says.

But Pitambar Acharya, a lawyer in the Orissa High Court, the highest one in Odisha state, says he felt that temple caretakers were bluffing on what he calls the “key loss hullabaloo”.

Last month, Acharya and other officials from the Bharatiya Janata Party, an opposition party in Odisha, lodged a complaint with the police against top state officials in charge of tracking temple valuables, citing their failure to inventory jewellery in the vault regularly and questioning whether a duplicate key even existed.

“There has been a clear breach of trust,” he says, relating to unanswered questions on the loss of the temple key and the supposed discovery of a duplicate.

Outside the temple, in a packed plaza where men hammer together wooden chariots to be used for a festival, anger is palpable among priests, shop owners and visitors.

“The government is hiding facts,” says Satyavaan Sahu, 31, a worker at a nearby trinket shop. “It is a disrespect. Everybody’s faith in the temple will go away.”

As the sun sets in Puri, a throng of devotees climb the temple’s broad, stone steps, where a man ushers them in by tapping their heads with two slender sticks, a transfer of the deity’s blessings.

Alfred Ford to fund Rs 2,000 crore Disneyland-themed park in Mayapur

Moneycontrol.com
August 14, 2018

This tourism hub will accommodate 1.5 lakh people at a time. Thanks to ISKCON's participation, a special attraction of the hub will be called Krishnaland.

A massive theme park on the lines of Disneyland, is being planned in Kolkata’s Mayapur, outside the famous ISKCON temple premises. Ford has agreed to back the project, with an investment of Rs 2000 crore, and will collaborate with the state government to translate the vision into a reality. The goal is to set up a tourism hub boasting of international standards.

As reported by The Times of India, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, during her visit to Mayapur in February, personally made a request to the religious order to start the project at the earliest. During her visit she also met Alfred Ford, the scion of the Ford family and an initiated devotee of Iskcon.

The tourism hub of Mayapur will be special, as the place is also epicentre of traditional Bengal handlooms and handicrafts, by the virtue of its location. The complete map of the project is readied by ISKCON and awaiting the CM’s nod. A meeting was held between ISKCON officials and tourism department officials on Tuesday for clearance of the project.

This tourism hub will accommodate 1.5 lakh people at a time. Thanks to ISKCON's participation, a special attraction of the hub will be called Krishnaland. For this, Alfred Ford is getting experts from across the theme parks of the world.

This project aims at promoting Bengal handlooms and handicrafts from Nadia and Murshidabad. This hub will be a marketplace for the artisans. Also, all the devotees will have an Indian traditional dress code- saree for women and dhoti for men to be woven by handloom weavers of Shantipur and Fulia.
