One of the moderator (sinweiy) here in this forum keep on locking up thread regarding Master Jing Kong (MJK). Buddha said, "Don't believe anything, just because I said it. Find out for yourself." Isn't forum a way to discuss, debate, exchange of ideas , opinion, and information?
Below are two recent threads sinweiy had locked up. See for yourself whether its justifiable to lock them up.

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post in as it is not really a religion issue
if mods determine that this thread fit better into another forum, please feel free to move it.
first of all, let me clarify
1. i am not anti-buddhist, i would like to apologize beforehand to anyone who find my style of writing offending to buddhists
2. i am just anti-vegetarian, as to why, it is a story for another thread another time
True Story
I have a very good friend, one of my best friend if you will who turn into a pussy after becoming a vegetarian. 2 years ago, his baby daughter became very sick and he was told that she would not survive for long. As he and his family is buddhist/taoist, (i am not sure of the distinction between the two) he made a promise to buddha/kwan yin/ kwan kong/ the fat smiling god in between kwan yin and kwan kong/the begger god(ji kong, i think) and a bunch of other deities that he would become a vegetarian if his daughter survives. For some reason she did so he became a vegetarian.
now, i have known him since we were still in secondary school and after graduation, we join the same company and worked in the same department. you can say that i know him inside out. He was a very active person who would stand up for people he care about and for his beliefs.
Some months later after becoming a vegetarian, his character completely change. He became very tired looking, always coming to work late, complaining of fatigue. He even start to let things slide when people challange his core beliefs.
his wife has also commented on his changes, saying that he did not stand up for her when some guys tried to flirt with her in front of him, saying that he does not need to act like a monk just because he eats like a monk (at first i did not think much into this but recently, she confided in me that shes not getting enough sex and she ask me for some but i refuse saying shes my friend's wife but actually i just find her not that hot).
being a vegetarian has turn my friend into a pussy who cannot sexually satisfy his wife, becoming a weak and tired slacker who let things slide. it has seriously affected his career and family in a negative way.
any similar stories to share?
anyway to help my friend on this?

Sinweiy has done a great job by preventing you and others from committing sins (é€ è°¤åƒ§ä¸š). It is also for the sake of Buddhism. You have to thank him/her.阿弥陀佛ï¼�

MJK teaching is unorthodox Buddhism. Shouldn't I let people know about it??

I didn't é€ è°¤åƒ§ä¸š. MJK is dishing out unorthodox Buddhism. People should be inform about it. If I dun go inform people about it, who would? Wait for how long? No need to wait. Just tell it as it is. Here's an example of his unorthodox Buddhism:
"å¸ä½›è¦�從《弟å�è¦�》å¸èµ·ï¼Œä½›æ³•çš„æ ¹æ˜¯ã€Šå��å–„æ¥é�“》，《å��å–„æ¥é�“》是建立在å�é�“的基礎上。所以儒跟é�“æ˜¯ä½›çš„æ ¹ï¼Œæ²’æœ‰å„’æ²’æœ‰é�“ä½›çš„æ ¹å°±æ²’æœ‰äº†ï¼Œä½ å¸ä½›å°±ä¸�能æˆ�就了。"
Any person can answer your question. So many reasons or explanations on your story. Perhaps that friend lost interest in his wife ? Many marriages after some time will lose interest in each other therefore no sex or imitate contact. Or perhaps the ordeal that his daughter nearly died changed him. Or perhaps it was stress. Or perhaps he has some misconceptions about buddism.
So many reasons and yet i am shocked that you linked up vegetarian to it. Take him to see a counsellor or ask him to wake up his idea. Its the person not the veges...........

Wrong thread?
I haven't been following the MCK arguments nor am I very familiar with MCK teachings... but my stance is this.
If MCK is saying the foundational aspect of morality of religions are similar, then I agree that there is in fact a lot of similarities. Morality, and teachings like the 4 brahma viharas, are not perculiar to Buddhism at all. Also, there would not have been a need for Buddhism at all if Buddha were just to teach these 'foundational' aspects as they have been covered elsewhere... even though they are very important.
But if MCK is equating all religions as totally similar, then I do not agree, though I do not think MCK said this.
Now it is up to people to discern for themselves.... don't just follow people's critiques (which often quotes people out of context) but go and listen to MCK teachings and judge for yourself.
