It makes me mad that on Wikipedia there's no English entry for "Universelles Leben" yet there's a Polish and Hungarian (and of course German) entry for the new religious movement (NRM - the P.C. way of saying "cult") "Universelles Leben" based in Wurzburg, Germany! I wish I had the money to hire someone fluent in German and English to type up a neutral article about this group. I find it very hard to find neutral and negative articles about Universelles Leben. Almost the only stuff I can find written about the group in English is positive stuff written by devotees themselves.<br><br><br><br>
Am I the only non-German speaking person here who has heard of this group? For those of you who don't know who they are, they are a Christian group mostly based in Germany who are very pro-animal rights. They stand out from all other religions I know of because they sell buttons, videos, and leaflets depicting gruesome scenes of animals, which is quite different from the way most Buddhist, Hindu, and Ching Hai groups encourage their followers to be vegetarian. I know of U.L. members protesting in the streets against animal abuse. No other religious group seems to go about animal activism in the same way U.L. does. U.L. is the most "PETA-like", I guess you could say (compared to, say, Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism, etc.)<br><br><br><br>
I was watching a documentary on Canadian poet Leonard Cohen, and they had a brief interview on the street with this slim guy who was wearing rather non-conventional clothes and he had a sign on him that I recognized from U.L. (the line-up of farm animal portraits, and some slogan like, "What has eyes people conscious of their responsibility do not eat").<br><br><br><br>
You can type in these phrases into a search engine to help you find sites about U.L. and see for yourself that if you can't read German you're basically screwed: Universal Life, The Inner Religion, The White Horse, Das Weisse Pferd, Radio Santec, Gut Zum Leben, The Word, Das Wort, Heimholungswerk Jesu Christi, Gabriele Wittek
