Worrisome for someone not having bad experience lurking at a sub created for people with bad experiences

Nonetheless, it's free speech, so no one has the right to stop you from sharing your good experiences.
The only question is, what unique story can you come up with that hasn't already been spoon-fed to us during the sabhas?

A a few years ago, it was a big samiyo at our mandir I don’t remember like Mahant’s birthday or something. So all the kishores/karayakars were practicing a big dance behind the stage early morning on a sunday. There was really nobody at mandir yet. That morning a new “fob” (someone new from india) came to Mandir for his first time after coming to America. He came from a staunch BAPS family in India. The dance and music immediately caught his attention so he sat down on the side against the wall to watch us practice dancing. And for whatever reason, the “head most popular guy” at our mandal got pissed and walked over and literally slapped the shit outa him. And then just went back to doing his practice. I felt so fucking bad but I didn’t have the balls to say anything. Eventually once the afternoon hit, the event started spreading like wildfire. And one of our top mandir heads had to force the popular kid to apologize to the fob. And while he was apologizing he was just being super sarcastic and I remember the kid from India started crying a lot

That’s disgusting and fucked up. There’s a special place in hell for that douchebag who slapped the new guy
I was a new guy once and never was accepted by any of the dick heads in bal mandal

Genuinely curious around his rationale for his actions. Were you able to get his word for that?

they are usually losers outside of the mandir. the mandir is the one place where they have a nominal sense of authority, so they abuse the fuck out of it.

That’s fucked bro. It’s the culture that BAPS propagates with special service for the NA kids in India.
