Obviously it does.
No I won't.
Yes he did.
Your interpretation.
Perhaps you so dislike Dasa because he exhibits many of the same behaviors that you do.

You however have quite the history of twisting the truth and / or lying outright in your attempts to disparage others.
You're really something.

Is there anything more "positive" than the truth?

“The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error.
And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak,
that you are a sinner, a miserable creature,
and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.”

yes, for the truth may be expressed negatively, for example, a message of condemnation while being true can be expressed negatively, for example, 'there is more hope for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah than for you'.

One could say that truth is always positive, because it leads to more truth.
John 1:5 - And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
In the passage from which this verse is taken, light(truth), is said to be incomprehensible to darkness(lie). In other words, truth dispels lies, therefore truth it is always a positive thing, because darkness(lie) is its opposite, and has negative results.
More specifically, the verse is a reference to Jesus who is the 'light' of men and the embodiment of truth.

It's funny. You , me, and robbie profess that Jesus is Lord, but we disagree on vital points of doctrine.
How do we reconcile our differences? Seems a monumental task.
