After having been a contributor to that site for close to 15 years, and a major donor to the Oak Grove School, I’m greatly disappointed that KFA makes no effort to keep it up and running. It’s a minor expense.
I love the give and take of Ning and how it enables members to create graphics, upload videos and engage in chat.
This is causing great consternation to many of us.
I’ve contacted KFA directly and have received no response.
I have left a comment on Jaap’s page on K Ning and have heard nothing.
This is disheartening to say the least. Very, very disappointed.
Ken, sorry to hear the news. Budget cuts are a harsh reality. Programs with the highest outreach are probably prioritized. I’m sure your contributions have been most appreciated and useful.
I wonder why they haven’t responded. They owe folks like you an explanation.
When the moderator of that group kicked me out, he was apologetic and honest enough to confess that he did it under pressure from a few participants who happened to be his friends. I felt sorry for him, but he was better than his predecessor.
But now KFA is doing a zoom discussion forum which I feel is no improvement, and perhaps worse than what we’re doing here. Participants just take turns spending their two cents instead of thinking together.
Hello Jaap. Thank you for the two years extended time at K. Ning. That was most generous of you. I am writing to you about Krishnamurti Ning today with all the non payment notices. Is there any way forward that you can see that will keep the site open? I have two suggestions and I could go into more depth with you if needed. The site needs a strong monitor to enforce simple guidelines or it will continue to stagnate. I am not available for that position. Also and this is not extortion Ken is a strong K.F.A schools supporter, who donates generously to K.F.A. His donations are more than the cost of maintaining the site. Only Ken (he) would not want to be a moderator either. He is a rock solid yearly supporter of the schools, that loves that group and the freedom of expression the group promotes. I urge you to consider giving the group a little longer with an active moderator guiding the members in more friendly ways of communication including myself. Keep up the good work. Do what you think is right for the schools. Sincerely Danny AKA (Dano)
Hi Ken, I think your page on Ning always brought a happy smile. Hope you will continue it somewhere in case Ning is no longer there. To be honest only your page was the reason I logged into Ning. The discussion forum itself I found dreary and ineffectual. I can’t read the discussions there, as I feel my brain cells will die reading that. But your page was always exceptional.
K.F.A is responsible for the overdue balance. Please help the schools K.F.A is in a debtors financial state regardless of what Jaap said to Ken. The site was never signed over to new owners. K.F.A. shut off the funds when they went into arrears and their credit card on Paypal failed. .
Yes, a monitor is essential in a barroom because there, everyone’s thinking for themselves.
But here, where we’re supposed to be thinking together, we’re politely pissing on each other and calling it “discussion”. Sorry to be so colloquial, but this is a very refined kind of barroom. .
Yes Inquiry. I understand what you are saying. Crude one up manship and clever one up showmanship, usually come from competitive minded people. The strong willed are less interested in each others thinking, friendliness, sharing thinking experiences, and life. We are generally more interested in being right and winning or producing the illusion of winning, as in a debate. I would think we would learn from the past, but we continue on repeating the mistakes of the past. So yes I hope this place becomes an oasis for inquirers who come to share their own understanding and experiences with others, and make strong friendships and let the younger people have their say and take the place of the old folks, who also still need to learn to listen more and assert opinions less including myself. Thank you
Yes Ken’s page was always changing and so delightfully humorous I myself got addicted to his ever changing, educational and nicely entertaining page with so many different quotes from famous people throughout the years that generally with a few exceptions, that really did not disagree in any serious intellectual or spiritual ways with the things Jiddu Krishnamurti was saying after 1930 and his early life as a vehicle for the Maitreya in the years he spent being programmed hypnotized by Charles Ledbetter, the real Pope like leader, the wizard behind the curtain. The theosophists and their programmers, were in charge of Jiddu Krishnamurti and others, with the help of Ms. Annie Besant. Theosophy and their leadership were really in charge of the Order of the star, and the fake order folded when young Jiddu renounced his role with them.
A leaderless cult that was not a viable cult, or movement without the young Jiddu Krishnamurti. An honest brave young man who renounced his role as a vehicle for the Maitreya. Who walked away from an exploiting religious cult. Who became a global teacher whose spoken mission was always for the rest of his life traveling all over the world, lecturing, and having dialogues and discussions to set mankind free from their programming as one of the greatest modern minds the programmed divided world of all of mankind had ever seen. Many had a chance to learn from him during, and after his lifetime in the books, videos tapes, he gifted to the whole world .Sorry for the rant but yes Ken is a really wise human being, and friend of many.
