I thought it would be a place where we could discuss ideas freely, but it turned out to be a place where you get indoctrinated. Memorizing the book seemed more important than experience, so I didn't go back. Plus the parts where we all held hands in a circle for meditation were really gay.
It's too bad, there were some great people in that group. There was a university professor who could read and write Sanskrit! Totally cool.
I was seeing a girl at the time, and she asked where I was going, so I jokingly told her it was a cult. Stupid bitch had no sense of humor and actually believed me.
