You are doing a better job here than the friends of SRF on their website, Ketch. It is good, that people can compare this to the statements of the Ananda people.
It seems to me though, that nobody talks about the real issue:
JDW has admitted to have had sex with renunciate and non-renunciate women on and off over a long time. (Read his testimony on the anandainfo website, Ananda folks before flaming me!)
He did not remove himself from the temptation to keep working on his life-time(!) vow but did engage in massage sessions. This alone disqualifies him as a role model and spiritual leader for a community like Ananda, in my eyes.
By looking at JDWs most prominent faults more objectively, all could better discuss the beautiful things in the Ananda community.
