Here's the thread I played with:
Sharon C. O'Neill Is this a real account or not? Why would anyone do this to Bevan? I am baffled. Michael Goodleman It seems like a cruel prank because everyone was so honored to be a friend. We should somehow get to the bottom of this! 2 hours ago Sharon C. O'Neill I am asking a few wise people..I really admire Bevan. about an hour ago Michael Goodleman It is a fact, that there have been people or groups who have tried to spread misinformation in our organization. In theory, these might have been the intention of whoever set this up. (Gain confidence and then spread misinformation). Just a possible theory about an hour ago Sharon C. O'Neill I guess the old ugly of evil versu good...sick! about an hour ago Bevan Morris There's no evil intention, just a harmless little prank :-) this profile will be deleted by the end of the day. Thanks for playing :-) 52 minutes ago Michael Goodleman Whoever you are you may have not meant any evil intention but you have upset a lot of people who admire and respect Dr. Morris. (and deservedly so) You added you're smiley face but there is really nothing humorous about your prank! I would recommend you publicly apologize! 47 minutes ago Sharon C. O'Neill Good for you Michael! Your the Best! A lot of folks love Bevan and I am one... 34 minutes ago Bevan Morris I think it's pretty funny. Besides, if we can't have a sense of humor about these things, what does that say about us? I'm sure Maharishi would not have cared. Nevertheless, so as to not offend anyone else, the profile will be deleted by the end of the day :-) 33 minutes ago Edg Duveyoung No, I am Bevan Morrisacus! Keep this page going -- I want to see what legally gets done about it. Suppose someone looks like Bevan, has the same name by mere happenstance and wants a FB page? That guy has rights!!!!! So, since this present imposter is not legal, how does it get sorted out? FB just probably dumps it on any complaint and makes the owner of the page pony up proof of identity? 29 minutes ago ·  Bevan Morris I must say I was pretty impressed with 100+ friends in less than 24 hours! 22 minutes ago Edg Duveyoung Folks -- only a short time left maybe -- so ask all the questions you'd love to ask Bevan -- at least get a list going in "one spot" that can be referred to in the future, such as, "Hey, Bev, what are the answers to those questions on that fake FB page?" Like: "In dollars, tell us how much Girish has personally received from the movement." Let the avalanche begin. 18 minutes ago ·  Michael Goodleman I am sure you are the only one who was impressed and thought it was funny! Of course if it were the real Dr. Morris it's no surpise so many people accepted his friendship. There are thousands who love and admire him. I will put it to the point, that this is not only not funny but in my opinion a shameful prank. 15 minutes ago Edg Duveyoung Not as shameful as Bev's management. He deserves just such a spotlight. 13 minutes ago ·  Michael Goodleman If the "prankster" feels this was just some innocent fun, why doesn't he stop being a coward and reveal his identity!! 7 minutes ago  Edg Duveyoung Hey, Bev, how many women did you date while they were still married? 7 minutes ago ·   Edg Duveyoung Screw the prankster -- I'm Pransteracus! What's your beef? 6 minutes ago ·  Edg Duveyoung Hey, Bev, did you change any policies at MUM after THE MURDER? 5 minutes ago ·  Edg Duveyoung Hey, Bev, how much of MSAE's tuition goes straight to "national?" 5 minutes ago ·  Edg Duveyoung Hey, Bev, why do you talk with that goofy affectation in your voice that always ends every statement as if it were a question? 3 minutes ago ·  Edg Duveyoung Hey, Bev, why did Jerry get kicked out, and why is he now being trotted around as if he's a "classic?" 2 minutes ago ·  Michael Goodleman Well now it's at least clear, isn't it Edg? 2 minutes ago Edg Duveyoung Michael -- you're a true believer still? You support Bev and every decsion he's made? You're okay with the movement's money policies? about a minute ago ·  Edg Duveyoung Hey, Bev, got me on the "no dome badge list" yet? a few seconds ago ·  Bottom of Form 1 Edg Duveyoung The best thing about this joke is that a lot of true believers signed up and now they have to see the vibe of others who they, by sect-knee-jerking, blinker out of their lives whenever something is negative about their unexamined beliefs is presented. Come on you true believers -- answer those questions for your champion of virtue. Will anyone stand up for this man with facts, receipts, testimonies? 6 hours ago ·  Edg Duveyoung It'll be interesting to see if the number of friends starts to reduce -- cuz, hey, the fact that these true believers signed up for a site that knocks the movement is a black mark they'll someday have to explain to some black op in the course office. 6 hours ago ·  Edg Duveyoung What? I scared everyone silent? No questions from the peanut gallery? 5 hours ago ·  Sharon C. O'Neill Bevan Morris has done a marvelous job! Who cares about ugly rumors..The Man followed Maharishi's desires to the best of his abilities...I have nothing but admiration for him. Edg Duveyoung If Bev did a marvelous job, then why did the American movement die 30 years ago, and nothing was done about it except the raising of prices and the wearing of crowns by the movement's cash cows, er, milch kind? Last time I got to ask a question like that, Jerry told us it was due to impurity in the lives of the initiators. Seems Bev might want to, you know, show up just once -- JUST ONCE -- to publicly be intimate and forthcoming so as to assure us that at least HIS life is pure and encourage us to be thusly inspired. And if he followed orders only, then, who here will step up and say it was Maharishi's fault? Which is it? We are owed answers. We deserve to see behind the curtain and see what the guy is really up to. We put in the time, the money, the dedication, the loyalty, the DECADES and what? -- no one will show up in the public to explain the loss of a movement that had everything going for it. It took guts to put up this page, because of why? WHY would a FB page take guts? If you cannot admit the leverage of fear that the movement uses, I can. Why can't you? What fear do you wish this page's creator to have such that he would never do this again? -- what spell would you cast upon such a wayward soul? By what mindful negativity embraced now by, just guessing, but about 2500 minds is voodoo being amassed by those who are offended by this page? Who will hold them accountable for the square root of one percent vibe they will en masse now emit upon the world? Identity theft is the sincerest form of flattery, no? Why doesn't any movement leader have a FB page where 500,000,000 people DAILY connect? Shouldn't, like, EVERYONE in Fairfield have a FB page and be sermonizing right and left to anyone they can sucker into bein their friends -- like Amway tactics, see? This lack of interactivity with the online world is marketing? Or is this proof of a cowardice birthed by a long history of "burying the bodies" and shredding paperwork and shunting suitcases of cash across borders and sweeping foul matters under any handy rug and eschewing any meaningful contact with those who very lives were put on the line? And now to have Bev and his thug ilks lording over the movement and squeezing pennies from the last true believers is tawdry. Step up you defenders. Show us the balanced minds with cosmic ken wrought by bouncing under the musty half shells in the Iowa pastures -- bring forth that irresistible power of mind that would correct my point of view here. Show us your peerless saints scintillating in prana hovering mid-air with beatific countenances astral blasting sattva instantly at the speed of thought and saturating every quark inside in a 30 billion light year wide sphere. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <no_re...@...> wrote: > > T'would seem that the Long Arm Of The Laws Of > Nature hath struck again.
