Actually, Jerry never commented on Nabby's claim directly. He just sent me his best wishes via some- one else here when they brought up my name to him, as I would expect him to. Nabby made up this whole "he was thrown out of the TMO for security reasons" thing. In the past, when called on it, Nabby has claimed that someone else posted it to this forum, but that never happened. He just made the whole thing up to smear me. I *left* the TMO. I went on my six-month siddhis course, came home, took one look at what was happen- ing in the movement back home and that it sadly looked exactly like what was happening to it over in Europe, and split. I didn't say goodbye, I didn't make a scene...I just left. At least one person who posts to this forum from time to time can validate this, because he knew me then and, as it turns out, he split at about the same time and for similar reasons. My only involvement with the TMO after my six-month course was to go to the L.A. "flying hall" from time to time (where I was always welcome), but I did that mainly to pick up women. :-) I'm just tired of this crap from Nabby. If he doesn't like what I say about TM, the TMO, and Maharishi, that is his right. But when he just makes up shit that's going too far. Then he becomes just like Willytex. :-) > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "fflmod" <fflmod@> wrote: > > > > > > What about on leap years? > > > > On February 29th the CIA pays me overtime, so I > > usually post even more.
