Maybe this is what the TM movement considers its target audience: [http://www.philebrity.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/fop.jpg] :-) > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter drpetersutphen@ wrote: > > > > Well, if the point is to communicate to others to help them understand the benefits of TM, this is not the way to do it. It also grates on my sensibilities that values clear communication and the intent of actually making a point when communicating.

We finally realized that it was for each other. What was true then is true now. TM speak is simply to affirm an implicit world view held by the "cult." This is its primary purpose. It is not to communicate a point to a non-cult member. > > > > --- On Sun, 8/22/10, raunchydog raunchydog@ wrote: > > > > > From: raunchydog raunchydog@ > > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Raja Kingsley reports on Nepal > > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > > Date: Sunday, August 22, 2010, 1:29 AM > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, > > > Peter <drpetersutphen@> wrote: > > > > > > > > Isn't this a bit like calling me a poopy head after I > > > called someone else a poopy head?
