I wrote a response to Lokesh’s comment from the 22 March, 2024 at 7:27 am, he began with:

I did reply to you last night, VT, but today when I looked my comment had completely disappeared, and Lokesh deleted some comments yesterday so some of the comments ended up in the wrong order and also I noticed […]

Veet Tom,
I have known a few people who were students at Ko Hsuan, and all appeared to have enjoyed the experience and none of them complained of abuse. I remember that one kid who was new there told me that […] -

Yes it is the story is funny and a scam. What I mean is that it is so blatantly untrue that it looks absurd and clearly has the involvement of some group or another. First she was ‘hypnotised’. Now she has […]

Lokesh:
“Shanti comes across like he is condoning or promoting paedophilia.”I wrote clearly in one of my comments:
“ ‘Paedophilia’ is a term that is being misused in recent years.
What the definition […] -

No, it doesn’t make it feel uncomfortable. I don’t know how much of what you claim is true. I could be wrong but I don’t think you ever visited the Ranch.

Indeed.
But this also appears to be exploited by one of those anti-cult/CIA groups: we have a woman who is claiming to have suddenly realised she was in a ‘cult’ after 40 years; before, everything was ok, now […]

I had an English girlfriend who told me she had lost her virginity and had her first relationship at age 13 to an older man, but she had wanted to do that and felt there was nothing wrong with it. She never felt […]

What constitutes ‘abuse’ is debatable. “Hundreds of young teenage girls having sex with hundreds of men” doesn’t necessarily constitute abuse, depending on the individual situation.
I mean, in an international […]

I am not actually from an Indian background, if that’s what you meant, NP, but I do feel at home when I am there and have spent a lot of time there.
