Yes, I do know the Hare Krishnas are still around, but it seems to be a far cry from 20-25 years ago when they seemed to be more visible than the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses put together.

I think their activities at airports got them 'banned' as public nuisances. Good god, could we get the mormons to comply as well? How about a "Do Not Knock" law applying to anyone who is selling or proselytizing?

Adherents of the 'Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses' sometimes are asked this themselves, but they are hardly an authority on Hare Krishnas. Still, Witnesses appreciate that others connect them so closely with the door-to-door ministry established by Christ Jesus himself.

(Matthew 10:7,11,14) As you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ ...Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving... Wherever anyone does not take you in or listen to your words, on going out of that house or that city shake the dust off your feet.

They went by the way of the laughable things of the 70's and 80's like disco, giant afros, 46 inch bell bottoms for men, puffy shirts etc.

I am anxious to see your answers. I am a full gospel Christian. I havent seen a Hare Krishna in years, till recently. We visited Sedona Az and there was one there at a garage sale of all places. He began to talk to me and I was simply speaking truth, he was a younger man, of maybe 25, and in about 5 min, a lady, oreiental came running towards us and he said she is my mentor. She got ahold of him, told him to get in her car and shut down the converstaion right there, in total control of him as she realized he was talking to a Christian. I didnt know they were still out there, tho there are many other cults like this one. But, I do know they exist, even in a small town in Arizona. So I am anxious to hear any details someone may have a bout them. I was so saddened by it all. All I can do is pray for that young man. HE seemed terrified and yes that lady was very much in complete control. Apparently she had been sitting in the car, and didnt realize that he was talking to one person, and when she did see us, out she can running. No free will and choice there, huh?
This is mind control and its evil and should be stopped. I guess all we can do is pray, but thats a powerful weapon to use to battle the devil.
Thanks for the question.

Of course they were more visible. How could anyone miss a bald guy in a bright orange robe? But they've since stopped that, I can't remember why

They are still digesting the tofurkey,and curry, that they had last year..... It was absolute nirvana, so they have been taking it easy on the airports, for a while, it can just,spoil the mood..

They give out curry to hungry students in London.
That is what they're doing.... No more evangelising; just focusing on feeding UCL students vast amounts of curry.
To be fair, it is good curry. I've had some myself...

Probably airport police have made it more difficult following the terrorist scares.

It's like the homeless problem, I don't really know, but I'm just glad they are gone.

maybe its because people will go and search where and when they wish to learn about a certain belief or way to happiness
