If the bolded is true, they should go ahead and disown him. If I hear any member of my family is into any of the below, our relationship will be as distant as from here to the North Pole:

Reformed Ogboni Fraternity
Eckankar
Amorc
Brotherhood of the Cross & star
Anything occultic.

A man's enemies shall be members of his own household
don't tag what you don't know occultic!!!

I lived with them for years and there is nothing occultic about eckankar people.

It's a religion just like Islam, Buddhism, Christianity etc.

They have their own story about Jesus too.

They are peaceful and religious

They strongly believe in law of karma n reincarnation so they don't hurt people spiritually or physically. They sing "hu" as their mode of prayer. They are logical in their beliefs unlike we Christians that work with faith.

But I believe in Christianity and won't advice anybody to join any religion that does not go to God through Jesus.

a few weeks back I was having an argument with my mum regarding this ekankar stuff.
she view it as an occultic group while to me it is just a group of religious people with a different way of worship.
let me wait for others opinion
people fear what they don't know, my father is an eckist, they are not occult in any way, they are just worshipping God in their own way.

To those Christians judging Eckankar as occult group, they are only exposing their ignorance.

Take it or leave it, Christ Jesus remain an occult figure.

You 'cover' yourself with BLOOD of Jesus, what can be more occult than that?

Is it the concept of trinity, or the many esoteric teachings of Jesus, the cross, the Eucharist/holy communion or the MYSTERY of his birth?

It is my feeling that the so called Christians always reject the true occult Christ to embrace the Christs of their ideals. And nothing is responsible for this but fear - fear of the unknown.

Note..¤ I'm not an eckist, neither do I belong to any sect, religious or esoteric group. I'm a seeker without brand. But I love Jesus.

[Eckanker I know is a religion that operates like a cult even though they deny being one. One has to grow grom one level to another .Except you are promoted by their godman ,the mahanta who is a man in a wheelchair from America,a divorcee whose only daughter and child is not even an eckist. She is a christian! Again you have to renew your membership every your for the mahanta to recognize you. .They do not condemn divorce for obvious reasons,and neither are they against homosexuality and abortion. I can go on and on. Eckists are usually brainwashed by their trachers called arahatas brainwash them of the grave consequences they stand to face should they leave Eckankar. Thrre ste so many other secretes as so many things are shrouded in secrecyte author=pimper24 post=72069337]Please urgent advise is need. A friend of mine who is an Eckist or member of Eckankar has confided in that his family has concluded plans to disown him because of his membership of the religious group.

They accused him of using occultic powers to hoodwink members of his family. His younger brother said he bumped into his diary where he wrote the family members' names and also different bizarre names beside each for reasons no one could explain.

He has been mandated to denounce his membership or get expelled from the family.

LeoFish92:


God bless you my brother, in a neighborhood meeting, my dad got into an argument with an Eckankar man, the man bragged that he'll show him superior powers.

Two days later, my brother was shot in the dream, he woke up with a pain at the exact spot he was shot, on his chest.

Still same night, a distant cousin had a terrible dream of where I died and according to her, it was so real she was crying when she woke up..

Still same night, mum that was at omugwo in Lagos woke up with bleeding, imagine an old woman having such.

All happened same night !

Anyone who tells me those guys are not occultic needs his head to be examined.

Don't let us crucify people for their views about religion or how they chose to worship God, my father is an eckist, and to the best of my knowledge i don't think he can hold a charm or hurt anyone, very milk fellow, he is too quiet, he doesn't lobby for anything.

Secret things about religious and occultic gathering is never put on the internet for public consumption as they need members to further their group. Would you like to join after reading any of such things or information.

I am an Eckist, Eckankar is a Religion not a cult and I can boldly tell u majority of the people here condemning Eckankar have nk idea what its all about dey have never attended any of their programs or read any of their books... You no understand something u no go ask questions? Why jump into conclusions and spread false rumours? As an Eckist we keep a diary what we call dream journal der we write down all our dreams n surround dem to God coz we believe dream is one of the fastest ways God communicate with us so we write down our dreams n study dem n watch how it affects our lives dah way we are able to interpret our dreams ourselves without d aid of anybody... Its possible what the family saw is his dream journal n dey d family are d people using diabolical means to attack him hence he wrote down his experience inviting the Eck masters what christians call angels to take control of d situation.. now d family want him to leave Eckankar? Well for his safety he shud disown his family instead... If u need any more answers concerning Eckankar contact me on 07035489697

ECKANKAR teaches that there is an audible life current known as the ECK, or Holy Spirit, that connects each of us with the heart of God. We can experience the ECK as Light and Sound. Through study and practice of the Spiritual Exercises of ECK, we learn to recognize the Light and Sound of God as It touches our lives and brings increased divine love.

Good day all.... I am a member of Eckankar (Eckist), Eckankar is a path of love... It is the religion of the light and sound of God. It is not an occultic group, we have a website www.eckankar.com, we have TV program on silver bird by 3.30 pm on Sunday's, also radio programs on ekofm on Saturdays,...We preach about divine Love and how to be a coworker with God. Today's topic in service is "The Blessings of Gratitude" ...Our spiritual journey is personal, I was a student of UNILAG and we usually hold Eckcampus fellowship close to sport center at amphi theatre,... Eckankar is registered on campus through the DSA.... #Eckankarisnotoccult #Eckislove.... Eckankar is a path of freedom, Eckankar means "Path of the Holy Spirit.... We love God... The Supreme deity, The most,.... Let's continue to see the others as extension of ourselves... Let us tolerate each others religious view... Tanx... From Blessing,..WithLove

Which way is that NARROW way which our Lord Jesus asked us to look for?

He said it is very rough and difficult to find. On the other hand, he said the WIDE way is the popular way ladden with attractions with many people following it.

Today, which way is Christianity with about 3 billion members ? can Christian religion match the description of the narrow way?

Before we condemn, we should ponder on the point above...

Did Jesus found any religion or he brought a Message of Truth from God and addressed it to us individually for us to correct ourselves ?

I think the narrow way should lead to a teaching that continues and consolidate on the teachings of Jesus not pointing to him as a Master like the Eckists etc refer to him but pointing to him as the Lord and Son of God.

The narrow way teachings will not prescribe religion because religion is linked to the wide way. It will teach love and justice, it will enlighten you and make you to be a good human being with better understanding of God, His creation and his creatures.

Seek and you will find. Only Christlike people who can be found in all countries, few they are... these are the ones following the narrow way.

Just because a person doesn't hold same religious beliefs as you, doesn't make his/her religious body occultic.

Whilst I was in the university in Nigeria, I attended Eckankar, AMORC and regular churches. Some of my friends thought I was weird. Most of them thought I was completely mad. None realized that I was just trying to be myself; I was trying to understand the different religion so I could better understand and live harmoniously with people of different religious background and worldviews.

In the developed world, nobody cares whether you are a Muslim, a Christian, or a person with no religion.

If I were the guy, I'll disown such a family before they do. They are not his family member. A family will respect and support your individual decision, religious view inclusive.

Everyone must not be a Christian!
