Osho was an authentic holy man. At one point in his life, he owned 93 Rolls Royce automobiles. He was a private owner of more Rolls-Royce automobiles than anyone else in the world. Check out his views on Jews & homosexuals, too.
“If you want to make real money, create your own religion”. – L Ron Hubbard
My quote was off. What L Ron Hubbard said was “You don’t get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich start a religion.” (Addressing a group of science fiction writers at a convention in 1947. He’s the guy who started Scientology. Fascinating biography).
@PainNlife; His followers wanted him to have 365 RR’s. One for every day of the year.
“All religions make me want to vomit. All religions make me sick.” – Jello Biafra
Dude, I can’t make this shit up. Research it for yourself. These prophets seem to be about profits.
That’s just some egotistical shit man…. 365 really? people waste money on bullshit….If you’ve got one you’ve got them all….never has anyone anywhere said I think less of this person because he doesn’t own more RR….
I agree about the religious part though….have you seen the advertisements for this show called the real millionaire preachers of L.A….its about rich fucking preachers…..what a fucking load of crock shit
Yeah, I’m aware of the program you’re talking about.
It’s ironic. There’s a verse in the Bible that says it’s more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
There was a guy who used to visit this site who committed suicide. His father is a well known evangelist who wrote a best selling book and is fabulously wealthy.
I’m not assigning labels of good or bad, right or wrong, just thinking out loud. According to God it’s bad to be greedy and make a lot of money; however, some of God’s most vocal representatives are multi millionaires. Plus, they made their fortune promoting him.
Maybe God changed his mind and forget to tell everyone He reversed his position.
Lol or maybe they just don’t give a shit and decided money came 1st….what I find odd is that none of these rich preachers do anything to help all the homeless and abandoned kids….feeding them for a day isn’t doing shit…..why don’t they employ them to clean up those huge ass churches or something…..build them an apartment to get them on their feet…..give them a few thousand free of charge to get them back into life…..lol you won’t see that….just a bread line offering a serving of food then you’re own your own
Osho’s sole intention was to make his message reach to as many people as possible, to both religious and non-religious, rich and poor, dumb and intelligent. all these, roll-royces and diamond watch, were just techniques to get attention and thus get introduced.
right, cause the only way to get peoples attention is with diamonds and Rolls Royces.
People won’t listen unless you got bling.
Osho makes me want to kill myself. Maybe he can sell me some snake oil to remedy this.
Hypocrisy. Holding others to a standard the individual uttering the commands is incapable of living up to.
“Do as I say but not as I do”.
Maybe Osho was decent in India, but he was the epitome of a sell out once he got to America (and bilked his followers out of their life savings).
I would exchange the word “incapable” for either “unwilling” or “disinclined.” Hypocrisy implies choice, not disability.
And i skimmed the titles of the blurbs on that osho page. I find the notion of death being illusory, to be… very unreasonable, and quite unjustified. It’s almost as if he just made shit up that sounded like something he thought people would like to believe.
It’s amazing how so much of the world is built on that principle.
@clevername: Part of me is just plain tired trying to explain what seems so fucking obvious to me to everyone else. Anyone & everyone can believe whatever they want. Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, leprechauns, Osho, Jesus – have at it.
Stanford is beating The U of Washington 24-14.
Goodnight.
he has said a thousand and one things. and on a single subject one time he would say one thing, other time other. e.g. one time he would favor sex, other time he would call it just a toy. point – to baffle you, to show you that these things that you hold so dearly actually don’t matter.
btw what’s the thing that he “commanded” others to follow but didn’t follow himself? media used to call him ‘rich man’s guru’…and he himself always said – be rich, don’t be poor. so i don’t see any hypocrisy.
And you reminded me of how i’ve noticed a decline in my vocabulary lately. It feels like a disability… but most of the words i forget to use, are words 90%+ of everyone else either doesn’t know, or would cause them to think i’m “acting smart.”
Apparently, trying to find the most accurate word to communicate an idea, is now typically seen as condescending…
And you’re right, Anyone and everyone can believe whatever they want, including things that are obviously false. And as part of my own prerogative entitlement, i can choose to express dissent about it when i see it. It doesn’t mean i think it will do any good… but it at least makes me feel better to say “hey, that sounds like BS.” When something sounds like BS. That’s all some of us have left.
Before i wrote the previous comment, i was feeling… /angry/… like i just… can’t really explain, and struggle to just contain.
You know what, i took a moment to consider what you said… and i think it’s something i’ve wrestled with for a long time, and, i already determined that the solution, or rather, the better method of approaching an effective solution for that problem, is to correct the source that generates people who believe falsities.
If you’re in a batting cage and the ball machine is firing multiple balls per second, you’re not going to solve that by cranking home runs, or even swinging at every pitch. You solve that by making an outward arc to the machine, and turning that fucker off, or at least reducing it to a reasonable rate, and loading it with the balls you’d prefer to swing at.
If you stand there at the plate catching symptoms, you’ll never beat the disease. That’s futile. We need to go to the source of the problem, to even have hope of a chance at correcting it. All this argumentation and eloquent banter, isn’t going to change anything… but it can sometimes be enjoyable on some levels, and it can help to hone your tactics for the real thing later.
Stanford beat the U of Washington 31-28.
Before this game started, Washington was ranked #15, Stanford was #5. The Huskies went for it on 4rth and 10, and it looked like they got it, but the play review overturned it. Man, sorry Huskies. Stanford won this game fair and square.
The Oregon Ducks (5-0) are travelling to Seattle next Saturday to battle the UofW Huskies. That’ll be a good game.
Who cares. Life consists of nothing more than temporary diversions. Watching football, drinking beer, screwing some broad, listening to music, reading drivel on the internet – these are all just ways to waste time before you die.
I wonder if aliens have sports. Do they get drunk? Do aliens enjoy porn? Does God?
What musical instrument would God play? The flute? The banjo? Xylophone? Does God have online access, and does he monitor this site?
Time for another beer. G’nite.

93!? damn….. warren buffet could outdo him if he wanted to though

charlatan; a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud.
