Ex-wife's description of Adi Da's Abusive and Voyeuristic Sex, Porno films, Coke bottle dildo, violence against women

 

Posted by "Alice", an ex-"wife" of Adi Da  on 9-12-1999 to the Lightgate Daism Forum

I was a so-called "ex-wife" of Franklin Jones. I have provided proof of who I am and irrefutable photographic evidence of my person as also found on published cult records. I prefer anonymity as do male and female victims of rape and sex crimes. Under strict confidentiality, I have fully disclosed all details of my identity with the webmaster at Impermanence (Elias) including an earlier meeting with him in person. If there will be any legal question as to the veracity of my statement, I will provide written sworn testimony in a court of law to protect the owner of this web-site and possibly bring in corroborating witness if called for. These witnesses would be other "ex-wives" whose true stories have been denied by the Franklin Jones cult. I speak so others may learn the facts and not waste years of being deceived. 

I spoke to members of the cult before leaving. People who were supposedly my friends for years turned their backs on me. I brought out the dichotomy between what Franklin Jones said and what he did. I told people I was there at the center and saw everything. People, who had no real contact of their own, said that he had his own reasons and ascribed everything to "crazy wisdom" or "theater."  Their reaction made me see more of his scientology like manipulation and brain washing. People seemed to be in a trance. I found it amazing that people would not hear from somebody who was there and not be emotionally struck. They did not question anything. They tried to deny what I was saying, stories that had happened to me. They were deaf. They had learned to hear what they wanted to hear. There are much worse stories than mine. 

I found it interesting that Franklin Jones' background is in the areas of Scientology, acting, Christian Seminary and Hinduism. He mystifies people with his charisma and acting skills. He manipulates people with his Scientology background. He lays guilt on people with his Christianity and entices the New Age mind with Hinduism. He is a Scorpio who has gone sour.. The downfall of that sign is sex and power. Franklin Jones is neurotically involved with greed for sex and power. He weeds out everyone that is not a yes person. There are many channels along the line. There are many gates to go through to make sure you are a yes person. He wants you to relate to one aspect of him only. As a writer and an actor, he gets to relate to many aspects of who you are. 

I have seen women humiliated emotionally and sexually including having their genitals wounded. I saw him put a coke bottle in a woman's vagina and the bottle broke. He made another woman take a vodka enema. I have also seen him pull handfuls of hair out of Nina Jones' head. Whatever he does is called a teaching even giving Nina a black eye. Da is a user. He is abusive and manipulative. 

In summary, he cares for his own pleasure and amusement and is full of humiliation and inconsideration. All this is observable up close. 

For myself and other "ex-wives", we directly experienced this humiliation which served as amusement and entertainment for Franklin Jones’ pleasure. I had to give him blow-jobs while he was orchestrating and producing porno films being made of other people having sex with one another. Franklin Jones would also arrange or order different people to have sex with each other. This could be one of his "wives" who he accused of having feelings for someone else. He would have them make sex and pull me in to perform oral sex on him while he watched. Franklin Jones would not want me to watch at all. He would roughly pull my head down on him. He was a rough lover. He would rip into you without lubrication. He was inconsiderate and unfeeling. You didn’t matter. Franklin Jones in relationship was more cruel than apathetic. 

I do not say that he was always this way with every one of his "ex-wives". There may have been some exceptions. As a rule, Franklin Jones behavior was generally cruel and often sadistic with many of the women in his cult. There is no question of this. He treated women like chattel. I was involved and personally witnessed these things at parties and in his home. Franklin Jones is not as he appears to be.

(Editor:  This post below is a follow-up to the original post that appears above. Some posters had asked if the sexual experiences with Adi Da were a form of spiritual initiation, and others wanted more extensive details of the incidents.)

Please understand that I do not intend to further dialogue on my report.

I wish to add that there were no magical powers or "siddhi" involved in the (see above) account. I can further state that Franklin Jones as a sex partner was mechanical and lacked feeling.

I have seen examples of magical yogic siddhi in other ways. These are elsewhere reported. They can be discussed in different ways. I am addressing something different.

In my report, I think it is important for others to see that his motives are narcissistic. Franklin Jones is self-serving. He attends to his voyeuristic neuroses. He lacks compassion for others in blindly serving his needs.  I see Franklin Jones as a magician. I do not see him as a selfless spiritual master.

A Franklin Jones student responded by declaring my account to be superficial. I have little interest in discussing it in depth. That is how it is. The account is intended to show an essence of a man. Here is a man who commands his wives to have sex with his pals while he makes pornographic movies of the event. He is voyeuristically stimulated by watching others engaged in sexual activity. He calls in other women to stimulate him while he watches. I am not supplying more information. Ask Franklin Jones.
