Message:
This is our challenge to you. We request that you step down from your pedestal and join your brothers and sisters in the human race. Find your place among us. Treat us as equals with the love and respect you always claimed you had for us. Be one of us. It would free us and those premies still trapped in worshipping you. It might free you in many ways as well. There is so much to be gained by everyone. (emphasis my own)

Yes! Yes! Yes!

We still need Maharaji to free us.

My how we've grown!

Well of course it won't be proper to ask m if we can kiss his feet. We've outgrown that!
Instead, we can ask him if he can kiss our booboos and make them all go away.

After all, according to this MRC campaign....we still need m to help 'free us'.

Sorry, but it really is time to water the plants

Silly me! Imagine my confusion where sometimes I might wonder if perhaps I might be really, really wrong and I'm going to burn in hell for having turned my back on God and then had the audacity to diss the Lord of the Universe.

I feel Maharaji should step forward and come clean. It would ease my worried little mind.

It strikes me that you love to criticize and strike out at other people's well intentioned efforts to bring abut some sort of effort that could actually help things for everyone.
If you're so smart, why don't you sit down and write a letter that you think would help bring about some sort of understanding, reconciliation and healing that would help everyone involved?
Or,maybe we should start with, what exactly is your motivation, as it might not be for understanding, reconciliation and healing....
How about telling us your motivation, and then a letter that would help bring it about.....

Message:
Not bad, Joey. Let me see if I follow your 'reasoning' here. Whoever wrote this letter attributed more power to Maharaji than you would. Therefore they're not really ex-anythings but are, instead, sinister cult operatives on a spy mission. There, did I miss anything? Because that's good, Joey. That's very good. You should be proud of your ability to see through things. Good work.

There's more to it than that. I only adressed one paragraph of the MRC letter, and I'll have more to say when necessary, as the situation develops.

In the meantime I DO find it very suspect that the individuals involved are still looking to m to help them solve their problems...to 'free us' as the letter states.

Now there may indeed be genuine ex-premies involved in this effort, but I don't believe this idea was generated by genuine exes. And I can't help but wonder if those genuine exes who have so eagerly become part of this campaign have really thought through the consequences of their actions.

Joey,

The MRC is a somewhat diverse group of people, with each person in the group viewing Maharaji from a somewhat different perspective. As we all know, there is no monolithic or universal viewpoint when it comes to Maharaji and his cult. The letter therefore was a compromise and an attempt to address all those viewpoints. Nevertheless, the letter is clear about a number of things I'm sure you would agree with, a number of which include the following, which are CLEARLY stated in the letter:

1. Maharaji has presented himself as divine and he is not, and many of his followers still believe he is, and that has been generally destructive to people;

2. Maharaji is running a cult;

3. He said and did things that caused people to follow him out of fear and were fearful of leaving the cult on moving on, which has damaged the personal growth of his followers;

4. He has failed to take responsibility for his past, his claims to divinity, and being the head of a cult;

5. He better start coming clean and addressing these issues or the public criticism is going to get louder and louder, and his trip is essentially over in the West.

We believe these are all important points to make. Perhaps the letter isn't all you would want it to be. That is probably true for everyone. I would suggest that each person involved in the letter had things they wanted to say differently.

Regarding the 'freeing us' language, it applies to a number of things. Many current and ex-premies feel that an open dialogue with Maharaji about these issues would help free them from cult programming that still exists in the heads of many of us. Maybe you don't agree, and that is your right, but I woult think that being an extreme purist about this isn't particularly helpful. We are trying to do something rather than just sit back bitching on a forum. One would think you might be just a bit supportive. What is your problem? Are you concerned that a moderately respectful tone, but with unambiguous criticism, will give Maharaji a big head? Get real.

Regarding whether we have thought through the consequences of this action, believe me, the group has discussed that very issue more than you could possibiliy imagine. We have certainly thought about the consequences.

Thank you for your input.

The letter is basically clear about this ONLY.

-Maharaji is a cult leader and you want to talk to him about it.
It really is as vague and nebulous as that, and as long as it stays that way, your talks with m could end up as fruitful as talking to a thief.... about his being a thief.

Regarding the 'freeing us' language, it applies to a number of things. Many current and ex-premies feel that an open dialogue with Maharaji about these issues would help free them from cult programming that still exists in the heads of many of us

Again there's only one issue: Maharaji is the leader of a destructive cult. And honest to God, I've talked to several genuine exes on the phone today, and I don't know of ONE who would say that he or she needs to talk to Maharaji to help free them from the cult programming that still exists in their heads.
This seems to me to be a particular notion that exists in the minds of the participants of your MRC group.

An amazing concept! Having a little chat with your cult leader to help free you from the cult's programming.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Thank you for your opinion. I'm sure there will be lots more opinions, pro and con, to the letter. I do, however, disagree with your characterization of the letter. The request for a dialogue with Maharaji is just one small part of the letter. We have pointed out a number of problems and asked Maharaji to address them, AND to have a dialogue. Also, keep in mind that Maharaji is only ONE person who might read the letter. The points in the letter are also meant to be considered by premies, non-practicing premies, ex-premies, aspirants, and people who are considering becoming aspirants.

There are people who feel that if Maharaji had a dialogue about these issues it would be helpful for people, especially premies who are questioning, and people who aren't practicing premies but haven't given up on the notion that M is divine.. Others think it would be a cold day in hell before Maharaji even considered participating in an open dialogue, but feel the request is worthwhile because his nonresponsiveness to a reasonable request will make a very strong statement to that same groups of people mentioned above.

Joey: I agree that most exes no longer need Maharaji's help in freeing themselves. But what about present-day premies?

The guru-dependence seems as strong today as it ever was and surely a 'come-clean' statement from the object of premie dependence would go a long way in enabling that process. It wouldn't mean M was doing anything noble or praiseworthy; merely that he was behaving, for once - for the first time, even - like a responsible human being. It might even help him..?! (if such a thing is possible).

The MRC's motivations look pretty sound to me.

I don't believe he will respond to the letter, most of the people who worked on it don't believe he will respond.

But, that doesn't mean it isn't worth asking him to do the right thing.

Let's just say, somehow, we were able to get through to him, that not only is it best for both present and former premies, but also it is best for him, if he DEALS with it.

IF he were to do that, it would help A LOT of people. It would even help ex's I think. And yes, it would help him. If he really had it in him to do something like this, maybe he would be worth helping, just simply as another fellow human being.

Much more so than carry on ignoring the harm he has done, and continues to do.

I don't actually believe M will ever talk to his critics (unless he was called as witness in a law court) - but I think the MRC's campaign could still be really useful in just laying the issues out in the open.

And really I meant 'help him' in the sense of 'do him some good' - and it would probably be a pretty painful experience for him to have to confront it all honestly.

I just can't see him dealing with it honestly.
I CAN see him dealing with it in a controlled and manipulated setting. Where the agenda is framed in such a way so that m can avoid confronting the issues honestly. That I can see.

I don't actually believe M will ever talk to his critics (unless he was called as witness in a law court...

I'm not so sure. I think he's fishing for an opprtunity to meet his critics in the type of setting I described above. Perhaps even desperately , because if he continues to do nothing, he and his cult are destined for nothing but a 'gradual meltdown'. (I just love using Joe's phrases :)
Look at the possibility. If he even partially succeeds in peddling off some crocodile tears, meaningless apologies, irrelevant and vacuos explanations, avoidance of issues and of course his outright lies and deception to boot....as some kind of 'sincere' effort, then he can take some steam away from his critics which could only help him in preventing that day in court.
And if it spins well enough, it might even help him avoid that gradual meltdown, and revive the cult a little as the 'former cult' cult, and I've done my own skeptical spinning of that scenario in a post below in this thread.

... but I think the MRC's campaign could still be really useful in just laying the issues out in the open.

I believe, from a PR point of view, the most damaging of the objections outlined in Way's exellent letter were left out in this MRC version. That's a shame, but heck it wasn't my money that paid for that ad in the Boston Phoenix, so the people who paid for it get to call the shots. Just who were they?? :) And indeed, why all the secrecy as Gerry put it?

Finally Nigel, I agree with you completely on this.

Guess we'll have to wait and see...

You bet! :)

For now, g'nite and thanks for the feedback.

In spite of all sorts of exes bending over backwards to set you right, Drek included, all the people who patinetly tried to explain their real-life relationship with him and all that shit, you still, unreasonably -- hey, fuck that -- INSANELY, to this day, still attack him. Fuck you, idiot.

You deserve no explanation for nothing! Do you understand that? Forget all the discussion you'd like to have; you don't deserve it! Not until you apologize to Drek and MRC. And even then, I wonder, why either would ever want to bother.

Hi Joey -
First, I (obviously) am not a member of the MRC, and I don't agree with everything in the letter. Also, I am pretty cynical about the idea of EVER getting an honest response from Maharaji.

I don't have a problem with you pointing out how your feelings about Maharaji differ from the feelings of the people who wrote the letter. But I believe that the letter is sincere. Although it certainly doesn't express the feelings of many people who post on the ex-premie forum, it doesn't pretend or imply to do that, so what's the problem? Also, in re 'plants' - it clearly says that the letter was written by premies AND ex-premies (and others).

Over the past few years, I have communicated with lots of recent exes, confused premies, people 'on-the-fence' and so forth, and one thing most of these people would like is a response from or dialogue with Maharaji. Thus I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to ask for, and I don't think the letter is weird - many people I've spoken to have similar feelings.

Take care, Joey -
Katie

Hi Katie-

First off it really isn't obvious at all to me who is and who isn't a member of this MRC. I'd really be interested in hearing from a genuine ex who has been posting on the forum under their own name, and has contributed to the writing of the letter to the 'former master'.

Yes I do have a problem with this campaign and you hit the nail on the head, at least as far as I'm concerned, when you expressed it this way:

Also, I am pretty cynical about the idea of EVER getting an honest response from Maharaji.

That said, because m must really be so desperate these days, it's entirely possible that he might actually respond. In a DISHONEST fashion, designed to keep his cult alive as the 'former cult' cult.
As I replied to Nigel, I'm really not into helping Maharaji.

Katie, you also said this.

Over the past few years, I have communicated with lots of recent exes, confused premies, people 'on-the-fence' and so forth, and one thing most of these people would like is a response from or dialogue with Maharaji.

I believe confused premies and those sitting on the fence are looking for a dialogue with M, because they see it as the only way to keep the dream alive. Their hope is that M will say something or do something that will fix the booboo.

Rather than taking directions from confused premies, it might be better if we offered them some.

As far as recent exes are concerned, again I have to repeat that I haven't spoken to one, who has felt that a dialogue of this nature based on the wishy-washy objections to m contained in the MRC letter, to be a positive development.
They're concerned as I am that Nigel may be right.

'It might even help him'

And that's the point of my speaking out on this issue. That's what motivates me. I don't want to help Maharaji.

Take care Katie,

Joey

Could this be a tip off from the cult?!? Maharaji has now become 'THE FORMER MASTER MAHARAJI'...is that it?
I love it! I love it! I love it! The PR and marketing potential is incredible!!
Now I wonder how the former master and his former premies are going to celebrate? A big event, maybe even some tours to celebrate the cult's rite of passage into becoming a former cult.
And lets not forget the commemorative videos, audio tapes, and cofee mugs with swans on them to celebrate the former master, his former premies, and the former cult. Ooops,I forgot about special satellite feeds.
(BTW, have you heard anything about Maharaji becoming the former businessman and investor? :)

And just maybe some of those exes you spoke to on the telephone WERE MRC people who did not want to identify themselves to you. Give that a thought.

Hey Geecko, give THIS a thought.

You're full of shit. These were people I knew well. And who's kidding who here? Like there are so many of you MRC PEOPLE out there...but NOT ONE genuine ex who has been posting on the forum under their own name has been willing to come forward and identify themselves as part of this group that conceived of and wrote the letter to the former master
I'm waiting, but its NOT YOU I want to hear from.

I have a lot of 'gratitude' for TVTV's production of The Lord of the Universe, as it shows first hand footage of GMJ making a fool of his self, and also Mata Ji and his older brother, Satpal. On that tape, Satpal says he has no status in the Divine Light Mission, his job is just for people to kiss his feet (darshan) Sounds humble? I'm the agitator who tried getting original footage from Visions. They are less than honest with an inquiry. Based on my contacts with them, they claim that even though M's message has not changed, they will not release those tapes to the public, as they are on 35mm film, and it would cost thousands to get them on a video (pocket change for a group that buys mansions and jets for its leader, I would think!). If it were not for this web site (I was a latecomer, hearing Mr. M. in his Elan Vital group, as he now poses as a professional, dressing in suits, and saying he is not a religious leader, etc.) I would not have known the sad facts about the so-called holy family. So in a nutshell, special thanks to this web site and to TVTV for producing that video!!! Maybe whoever owns this web site could get hooked up with amazon.com, which sells the video for $29.99 Someone I know stated that you can get a commission if you refer customers to amazon.com, and it may help pay for the web site.

GMJ: No. You know, when you are attached to the Lotus Feet, to the radiance, to the bliss of the physical form, it is forever. If a devotee comes to
this earth with the Lord, and he is completely devoted, 'he' is no more 'he'. He has merged completely into the Lord. 'He' is no more 'he'. It is like this.
This is Lord, right, and this is 'he' and he goes and fixes himself here. (Maharaj Ji puts chalk between His toes.)

Father Guido Sarducci's take about where we go when we die. You go to God and he tabulates $6.95 a day for the days you were alive. Then you have to 'Pay for your sins', Murder=$100,000
Stealing=$50.00, Lying = $5.00, Masterbation = $0.25. But that can add up after a while. .25+.25+.25=.25......

And after you have paid for your sins, if you have any cash left, you can buy your way in to heaven. If you don't have any cash left, you gotta go back.

And lately, I'm having this terrible recurring nightmare. I'm standing there paying God for my sins.....And I am just $0.25 short.

Subject: Come together, right now, over Me.
Message:
I skimmed through that Q & A whose link you provided, cq. There were all kinds of little gems in there. For example, it turns out that to be a Perfect Master one needs to be not only 'perfectly realized,' whatever that means, but one also has to be 'without sin.' Hmmm. Wonder how Rawat's done on that score. And let's say, for the sake of argument, that he WAS the Perfect Master when he was, say, on the brink of pubescence.

Even the most generous of observers (PWK's excluded, I guess) would have to say that the guru has sinned a few times. I mean, he's only human, right? So does that mean he's no longer Perfect Master?

Oh yeah, also repeated in that Q & A was the assertion that there can be ONLY ONE Perfect Master, a claim I had a hard time believing even in the throes of devotion to the Lotus Feet. I still had a few left-brain synapses firing, and the idea that there was only One Way didn't make any more sense to me then than it does to me now when I here Christians tell me I'm going to hell cuz I don't believe the way they believe.

And speaking of Hell, this is what is most interesting about that antique Q & A you posted: Maharaj Ji actually made a stab at theological reasoning back then. He had a bit of substance in his satsang. Sure, it was kind of half-baked Hinduism, but not bad for a kid. And the carburetor analogies were kind of charming compared to the more pompous speeches delivered by the average traveling Hindu salesman back then.

Maharaj Ji Lite is not the most fascinating cult leader to follow these days, with the tired old 'go within, find peace' satsang he's delivering these days. Sometimes I'm not sure why we bother.

A weird feeling struck me. Guru Maharaj Ji is the reincarnation of Hitler. He was forgiven by God for offering the burnt offering of the Jews in human sacrifice. He took birth and tried it again.

In a perverse way, he aquired merit. Without him, there would be no Israel, no Jewish Messiah.

Subject: War Crimes Trials?
Message:
I doubt it will ever come to that, but I believe that there should be many others called to answer for their actions should the big M. ever be taken to task over his exploits.

One who readily springs to mind is John Knight. A tall, dour man with a permanent, disdainful sneer. In 1979 John went on a tour of England to press-gang people into the ashrams. His target group were single, unattached premies. *Special* meetings were arranged around the country, to which those who were invited were expected to attend. How I wish I had a copy of the tape - because back then it was not uncommon for visiting initiators to be audio taped at programs. The gist of his spiel went something like: 'If you have Knowledge, are unmarried and not living in the ashram, then you are slaves of your minds. You should dedicate yourselves to Guru Maharaj Ji etc etc'

The guilt was heavily laid on. I was one of many 'granted' a special interview with John, during the course of which the pressure was increased. Out of guilt, fear or both, I succumbed. I was assigned to an ashram in London. I dont recall the address now, but the housefather was a large, illiterate oaf by the name of Frank, who's repetitive boast was that 'guru maharaj ji loves me because I can't read or write'. I pleaded with John not to send me to London because I needed to stay near my mother, who was dying of cancer, but was told coldly and flatly that there was nowhere for me in Leeds and that I should 'just surrender and trust' and that 'guru maharaj ji has said that the parents of ashram premies will be protected by His Grace..' I was young, I was confused, I dared not disobey the Lord, I went.

When my mother died, I had not seen her for the last 3 months of her life. My family have still not forgiven me. I left the ashram very soon after that, and earned the mantle of 'spaced-out premie'. That, and the animosity of my family, eventually drove me to leave the country and come to the USA where nobody knew me, which for the most part still applies. For the longest time I convinced myself that this was all His 'lila' and that He loved me in special kind of way.

No, I don't think the analogy with a notorious dictator is too unreasonable, neither do I accept that his uberlautenents be let off for their part solely on the pretext that they were hoodwinked like the rest of us. Would that have worked for Goering or Goebels? No, there were definately some very savvy premies operating in the upper echelons of the Mission, then as now, who knew exactly what was what and were enjoying the power trip.

See how annoying that is?

I'll answer some, not all.

What's your email address?
Maybe I'll get someone who I'm already swapping emails with to pass mine on to you, if they know you're on the up-and-up.

Who knows you, that someone here might also know?
I don't know anyone here who claims to use their real names. Can't tell from pseudonyms if I know them or not. You should have gathered from this recent post and others that I'm fairly reclusive, chances are no regulars here know me. What does that prove? Besides, I have a reason for staying anonymous, as do several others here, and it is not what you think.

What is your purpose in being here?
I find it very helpful to write about some of the things I went through as a premie. I also find strength and support in reading other people's experiences.

What do you think about maharaji?
I think he is a person who once may have believed he was a 'divine being', but who now knows exactly who he is and is enjoying the fruits of his ill-gotten wealth. I think he is a remorseless, manipulative fraud who continues to ensnare innocent, searching souls into his cash-cow cult.

Why did you lead people on with your false story? Why did you gloat about it afterwards?
If you are referring to the famous 'agya' spoof, it was at a time when I still considered myself a premie. The clarity and truth behind the posts here were starting to get through to me, so I wanted to do something to divert and distract. In simple terms, I was losing it but couldnt let go. Plus it was kinda funny, I thought.

Why didn't you call Jim and talk with him when he offered you the opportunity to 'prove' yourself?
I have yet to read a single post of Jim's which shows anything other than a harsh, judgemental, interrogative person behind the writing. Why would I subject myself to that? Is every pseudonymous person here asked to run that particular gauntlet? Then why should I? (Sorry Jim, but there it is)

Would you call me if I gave you my telephone number?
Maybe. You wouldn't be the first. Depends what your intentions are.

What do you do for a living?
I'm a writer.

What is your educational level?
Somewhere between Jed Clampett and Steven Hawkings.

(This is getting tedious.)

Are you married? Any family?
Mind your own business

Who are you?
I post as Rob. Who are you? Who is cq, Roger eDrek, JHB, raina, blood, Hal, King Rat, Stuart Shyster, Mother Meera, runamok, gErRy, malibu mole, la-ex, angry, ET, ETC. I suppose you are personally acquainted with all of them?

No I'm not interviewing you for a job, but you are asking to be taken seriously, aren't you? I don't have to ask everyone these questions because not everyone has engendered such distrust in me as you have, Rob.

And of course I believe in the right to privacy. I also believe in my right to know who I'm dealing with and what they are about at least to some degree. I 'know' quite a few people here actually, and exchange email and telephone calls with several.

Nice to meet you, I'm sure. I have heard that you are a nice enough person normally, so I guess it's me as usual brings out that worst. cq & jhb may be commonly known, but not by me. I knew a John Berger, but not knowing his middle initial cant tell if that's jhb. I think our next posts in this thread illustrate ONE reason why I prefer my privacy. Another is that I am still on EV mailing list and occasionally hear some juicy insider info from premies, which may come in useful for publication here. Another concerns my marriage, you'll forgive me if I don't go there? Yet another concern is that there is no telling what loony premies are out there reading this forum, who may decide to go on some personal jihad some day. OK I'm paranoid, but you did ask.

Is this going to go on much longer, only I really should be working now?

ps, for what it's worth, I'm sorry its come to this, but I won't be bullied away by anyone's flames, so it's actually up to you.

Well Rob, you wore out your welcome with me long ago. I am not sure what, if anything, anyone should believe about your posts. If you are trying to resolve the damage that was done to you because you lost time with your family as a result of the cult, it is my suggestion that you do that primarily with a therapist, not here. No one has any reason to believe any post that you make, given your past history, as far as I am concerned. If this makes you angry, take it up with your therapist after disclosing the hoax that you perpetrated upon us. While the hoax may have had its comedic aspects, it also made me abandon my natural sympathies for the situation you have described.

See a therapist for what ails you. I am not convinced you are of one mind at this point.

It was actually her suggestion that I try to express some of my involvment in the cult. I have seen it mentioned many times that the Forum IS a place for people to work out their anger/confusion/hurt from cult days.

I don't wish to get the same treatment as Mary and other unfortunates who were haranged mercilessly by telephone and email. I've even thought of starting my own message board for victims of THIS forum.

I have no idea who 'haranged' Mary et al. 'mercilessly', but it wasn't me. I was very upset when I found out that Mary had not been telling me the truth and/or that she'd been telling other people DIFFERENT things than she told me. I don't see Mary as a 'victim' of this forum, honestly. I do not dislike her, but my encounter with her and the other people involved in the 'Mary' episode was basically a rude awakening to the fact that some of the people who post here have either been so damaged by the cult, or, because of the cult, have NOT sought help for previous damage, that they can disrupt the forum and the informal ex-premie community - and are beyond the point where they can be helped by this forum and the people involved (I am not singling out Mary specifically here!). These people need professional help. (I have sought plenty of professional help myself, so I am not saying this in a negative or superior way!)

Rob, I think you will find that people on this forum - especially people who were in the cult for a long time - have a extremely negative visceral reaction to being lied to and made a fool of. I know you have apologized for the 'agya' hoax - personally, I thought that was pretty funny, and I am not holding any grudges about it. But I think that some people might still be upset about the 'thinking of suicide' posts that you made on 'Anything Goes'. I don't know whether ex-premies actually have more friends and relatives that have committed suicide than the average person, or if they are just more open about it - but, anyway, people here are particularly sensitive to threats of suicide.

If the suicide posts were sincere, then please clarify this. I do know - from experience - that people who are just leaving the M cult can very often feel suicidal. In fact, some of them DO commit suicide, so it is very scary when someone writes suicidal sounding posts.

BTW, I believe that your post about your experiences as a premie in the UK was real (hey, maybe I'm gullible, but I know that, and I don't mind people making fun of me for it.) And yes, I think it's a good idea to write about our experiences. I wrote some parts of the 'Red Nighty' based on my own experiences as a teenage premie, my experiences with premie men, and on things that a friend (former ashram housemother) had told me, and I found it quite therapeutic - not to mention enjoyable. You can always do it on the writing forum.

Take care -
Katie

Mary was a victim, both of the cult and of people like you and those who telephoned her repeatedly - they know who they are. Yes she may have brought it on herself, but whatever happened to the general understanding here that a lot of people have been screwed up by their involvement with the cult?

I'm not in possession of all the facts obviously, the information was passed on by a mutual friend, I didn't speak with her directly. The point was not to reinvent the 'Mary affair' but to attempt to illustrate to numbnuts here why I value my privacy. Am I wrong then, when I say certain acquaintances of yours gave her hell on the telephone?

Boy this is like Hallowe'en all over again. First Joey, then you, then Drek taking potshots at you, and now Mary? Really, Rob, do we have to? Huh? Do we?

All I can tell you is that, to the best of my knowledge, Mary deserved about as much a tune-up as you did. Both of you intentionally fucked with people here. As for you, I've already said I don't think it's that big a deal. Mary, on the other hand, was not in the cult then and has no excuses.

Does that make sense? I'm not sure myself. Let me think about it.

Can't let it go can you? So now I'm a 'sociopath' because I won't tell you my name? We don't know each other, I can guarantee that, so my name would mean nothing to you anyway, but it's not like I could tell you anything in confidence, is it? Can't you get it through your thick skull that I simply want to retain my privacy on the internet, as do so many others here? What part of that don't you understand?

Go back to the beginning of the thread here. I wrote a short anecdote describing a situation which occured 21 years ago, which may have been interesting to some readers, and because I happened to put it in context of my own experience concerning the death of my mother, you come after me like a rabid pitbull and stream insults, accusations, slander - in a word 'flame' of the worst kind - and now I'm a sociopath?!!

Are you mad? Are you having a bad day?

Again I ask you - what possible ulterior motive could be achieved by my writing what I did? Your first attack suggested I was looking for sympathy. Gerry, I might be a lot if things but stupid isn't one of them. Have you any idea how many flame attacks I've had to contend with in the past 12 months? Go on, take a guess. Could it have been made any clearer to me that I have as much chance of receiving sympathy here as would a bunny in a rotweiler farm? Well then WHAT?

The world is watching, gerry, make it a good one.

You've said something like this a couple of times before. I didn't understand it then and I don't understand it now. Let what go? Isn't this a discussion?

And yes, I can understand privacy on the net. Does that give you license to deliberately deceive people like you do, or did? I'm supposed to take everything you say as gospel now?

You have no credibility, 'Rob,' that's the main problem. What's to stop you from making these 'anecdotes' up out of whole cloth like you did before. What then, sneering laughter and ha ha gotcha again?

You wonder why I flamed you and called you a sociopath? Anyone who makes up a story like your 'anecdote' certainly has sociopathic tendencies in my book. Trust me, I lived with one (certified) for eighteen years. Of course there are degrees of everything.

Are you mad? Are you having a bad day?

Crazy mad or angry mad? And god, I had an incredible day after getting off the computer and going into the city. It started in the car. By the time I hit the streets I was blissed out, just like the old days. Had a series of wonderful interactions with strangers, gave away some dough, chatted up some store clerks, installed a handset on a door for a friend whose husband had recently left town (for free of course) and I'm still buzzing. How was your day?

As to your ulterior motives: malicious manipulation i would guess, like the last time.

You say you are not looking for sympathy. So why did you post that 'anecdote' in the first place. For entertainment purposes? In case you don't know it, your 'anecdote' was actually a bummer and would elict sympathy in spades, even from my pitbull self, if anyone thought you were sincere. Once bitten, twice shy, Rob. And you took a big chunk out, buddy.

Look Rob if it's sympathy you want and counseling you need try a professional. You've exhausted your emotional bank account here, hate ta tell ya.

The healing for me is in the expressing of it, not in the acceptance by others.

What is this Rob...speaking out of both sides of your mouth again?

I got news for you.

You not only need acceptance, you need MASS acceptance for what you're up to.

That's why you're so into 'winning the round ' and letting everyone know you won.
But you haven't won anything with your stupid little headfuck games.

I am on it fer christs sake!

I used to live across the street from DECA.
Marisa was working on something for the front of the LORDS HOLI stage in the courtyard of DECA. I was working on the stage with a crew of carpenters that had left a major project that had somehow been won as a contract by the construction firm that was an in-house sideline of the main DECA Aircraft. the construction company was called C.R.A. Construction Resources of America.

SO, a crew of guys that normally would have spent the day working in a very expensive mall that Marolyn and Claudia and Raja Ji and Maharaji would shop in were instead in the courtyard making the HOLI stage usable for our lord for the HOLI season.
**Which for DECA folks lasted for months!
Sure enough, the Lord arrives and drives through the courtyard and goes into his very large garage that has a very large staff working on his many cars and the motorhome and the helicopter.

He looks out the window and says 'Those are the only premies doing service here.' Seamstresses were included in that presumably.

It seems we are about done when he comes driveing out the garage and pulls up right in front of me. He heads out of the car as I scoot over to the stairs and apply pressure on the top rung because I know that the stairs were only placed on top of a supportingboard and so I give it a nail replacing pressure bond.
As he walks up the stairs He says ' will hold right?'
At the time I thoughtthe way he said it contained the sound that indicated he has sure it would.

HOLI happened and as he left he said as he left the stage to his attendent 'WHat did you think of that?'

I loved all the HOLIS there although stories like this next one would come drifting down the vine......a girl gave some flowers to him as he walked through the crowd back to the garage. When he got back to the garage he turned to Jim Hession who was in charge of DECA and he said sternly and loudly 'If you do anything for me keep those premies away from me.' She was banned from DECA. This I know.

Probably one of the reasons Jim had to finally accept that the one claiming to be the ultimate ruler on stage and the one that was living like the royal lord of all in his private life was for some reason crippled with demons that he couldnt shake.

Why would he be plagued like that if it really was some unconsious oneness?

My life personally is so dear to me that I fear death completely.
I just have to clear the decks in my heart and adopt a
**Get the most out of everthing you have** approach and shift over to an I love life fundamental core.
I have so much that is a dream come true that in this special moment I just have to have no corners where I am not settled.

I am spooked by central bank level financial inbalances.
If maharaji the perfect master can make a dent in some of the religions with a breath based fantasy,I cant defend god based religions against this eastern kind of thinking. Humans are so prone to making up and beliving bizarre stories about reality.

I choose to love life in all directions and try to concentrate on family life. The opposite of the SATGURU who choose instead to follow the HOLY FAMILY tradition of ignoring and dismissing family as, well, stupid.

He keeps it up with this fathers day program where he drags people away from thier families on fathers day.
Away from where they should be.

He who plays god is cursed!
I just want to love life and hope I have lots of time to have success in the only one area that I choose to be my dream.
Doing what the guy who is the head of Promise Keepers said,
He said, 'GUYS, the duty of the husband is to help his wife and kids dreams come true.'

I choose that.

WOMEN

Women have strengths that amaze men. They carry children, they carry
hardships, they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

Women wait by the phone for a 'safe at home call' from a friend after a
snowy drive home. They are child care workers, executives, attorneys,
stay-at-home moms, biker babes, and your neighbors. They wear suits, jeans,
and they wear uniforms. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up
for injustice. They walk and talk the extra mile to get their children in
the right schools and for getting their family the right health care. They
go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving. They are smart, knowing that
knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to
make a point. Women want to be the best for their family, their friends, and
themselves. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the
loss of a family member, yet they are strong when others think there is no
strength left. A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable.

Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They live in houses,
apartments, castles and cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail
you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what
makes the world spin. Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and
hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their
family and friends. And all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to
do the same to people you come in contact with.

MEN

Men are good at lifting heavy stuff....

Yo, Dickwad. I don't mind so much if you use my moniker to make a point, but when you're crude to my sister, Estrogen, like you just was, well, it just gets my, uh, testosterone, all in a tizzy. So, why don't we step outside and I'll show you what testosterone is really good for, you dumb fucking shithead. Why the fuck would you say something like women get peiods because they deserve them? Where are you at?

Hi Helen,

Sorry to disagree, but IMO, this may be well intentioned in that it is trying to make people laugh, or appreciate the strengths and contributions of women, but even if this type of joke can get a laugh out of me sometimes, I don't think that's a good enough excuse for perpetuating sexism. I am aware that women have been suffering from patriarchal control, and at times, persecution for thousands of years, but this is a systemic problem, maintained by women, as well as men. This joke dehumanizes men and is hurtful, and that's not funny to me. To dehumanize any human is to dehumanize one's self.

I agree that that post also dehumanizes men, who are every bit as emotional, nurturing and romantic as women. I have mixed feelings about these messages which come across my email, elevating women to heights of sainthood, and making men out to be big dumb clueless lugs. I think male bashing has become quite prevalent in the media etc.

WHy is it that when singing the praises of women, men have to be denigrated? For example the T-shirt 'PMS: Putting UP with Men's Shit' What do men have to do with our own biology?

But well-intentioned? I truly don't beleive the person who posted that intended to insult or dehumanize anyone.

Hi Helen,

Sorry I wasn't more clear - I wasn't thinking of Estrogen, but the writer of the joke. And I see that we are saying the same things.

But you hit on the downside that I didn't, probably because I could only bring myself to skim the text. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. Maybe a reflection of how many women often reinforce these polarized roles themselves.

Hi Helen and Stonor -
(Stonor, are you back on line? Hope so.)

I got that message as an e-mail from someone who was definitely well-intentioned, but I didn't really like it either. I thought it was stereotyping too. Although I agree that men and women are different, I am more like some men I know than some women I know. (Plus a lot of my close friends are men.)

In re lifting heavy things - I was just talking to some of the guys at work about a couple of women we had worked with who were stronger than any of them!

Take care, both of you -
Love,
Katie

P.S. Helen, my shoulder is better, but I am now typing with a wrist rest which has slowed down my typing speed considerably...guess I'll get used to it. Also, I am not supposed to use the computer too much. Also trying to get used to using the mouse with my left hand!

I think you could take the post and change 'women' and 'men' to 'human beings'. It wouldn't necessarily apply to everyone, but it doesn't apply to all women now, either.

Also, wanting just a hug and a smile? I think most of us want and need more than that - for one thing, respect!

Hi Katie,

Yes, I'm back on line and thrilled with my new G4. I was able to make myself supper in the time it took to load the forum on my old computer - no joke. And that crashing was not the only problem I was having with the (only 3 yrs!) old one. Got a scanner too - I'll have to practice by sending you some pictures of my garden this summer!

I also got an Ergopad gel wrist-rest mouse pad which was well worth the money. It sounds like you have a much more extensive problem, which I'm very sorry to hear about. I know I don't know what it's all about, but is there a good acupressurist in your area? I see an old man from Hong Kong who is amazing. Maybe someone like him could help.

The whole question of male/female 'roles' is a very interesting one to me on a number of levels - it really is tiresome to me in many ways. Although of course we ARE different, I don't think that's the root of the problem - I think it is our culture in general.

I'd write more but I'm exhausted. It didn't rain today - so I made the most of it because now it's raining again as predicted. My furnace is still coming on, but I turned it off today finally because it's beyond ridiculous. My dad told me that it's abnormally hot down around Virginia or something. Is that affecting you? And Chris said that it's 'flaming' in London this June, and I don't think he's talking about a 'queen' convention. What's going on?

I'll e-mail you soon and I hope your shoulder/wrist problem subsides soon too.

Take care,

Stonor

Yikes, Katie, did you ever figure out what happened? Did you pull a muscle? Are you able to work? Glad to hear an update. The mouse with yer left hand--jeez!!! Sitting at a computer is really hard work with sore muscles. I hope you heal up SOON.

Some of these images of women being super endurant and super strong (in that post above) pushes my buttons a bit because it reinforces this idea that women can and should do it all--and I'll tell ya what, I have realized I can't and I shouldn't do it all and that I was nuts to think I could.

Katie, Colleen got this incredible kids' art CD-rom called Kids Pix. Anyone reading this who wants a great computer activity for kids--this is spellbinding!! Colleen: 'Mom-mee, let me have a turn!!' I made about 5 cards with it today. It is so much FUN!!!

Jeez I just read this post again and my rant about super endurant images of women was regarding the first post in this thread, not your post about what some men you know have said about some women being stronger then they are (physically) which I really agree with!. Oh the limitations of the internet! My rant is really about the supermom image which I found out through bitter experience is a big crock of sh*t.

Hi Stonor and Helen -
Glad you're back on-line, Stonor, and that you got a new computer (I just found out what a G-4 was - besides being a corporate jet). Yes, it is hot here, but after spending 6 summers in the midwest, it's all relative. Plus we live in the mountains, so it cools down considerably at night. I can't imagine what it is like in DC - yuck! (Helen, care to comment?).

Well, I figured out what I did to my shoulder because I did it again. It is from lifting and carrying buckets of water to my garden (!), and gets aggravated by typing and mousing, stick-shift driving, and earth-moving at work. I think I can solve the problem by getting a hose... Anyway, not a serious injury - just painful and annoying. Sheesh!

Helen, I agree re supermom stereotypes. They drive me crazy too, and I'm not even a mom. Honestly, I don't think people were meant to try and 'do it all', unless they have a lot of help from their spouse or someone else. But actually what I didn't like in that post was the last line - how all women need is a hug and a smile etc. Maybe I'm weird, but I need a lot more than that!

Take care, both of you -
Love,
Katie

I still do my homework

From Sao Paolo, Brazil

I could make a list of some of the mistakes I have made when helping out as a volunteer. I can easily do it indeed because I will never forget any of them, although none of them had much significance nor any serious consequences.

However inside me they were a disaster. I could not accept that after studying and planning, mistakes still happened. So despite of all my obsession aiming for true excellence, they are still alive in my mind.
.
On the other hand, I am considered a good professional when I am at work. And in this arena, some 'clever' people choose to give up.

Several times, I have considered stopping to help out. But then I listen to my heart that says: 'Why should I give up of something that really is important in my life? Why am I going to reconsider something when I enjoy it and it makes me happy?

So, I do not quit, I continue to be a part of this incredible time. I still do my homework. I always can learn more and aspire to the appropriate standard. The reward is my happiness and my fulfillment.
