You sorta missed the point here, I think. Nabby is understating the case with regard to his contact with Maharishi. The issue is whether Barry, who *does* claim to have been "around" Maharishi, had as much contact with him as Nabby did. And Nabby's right, Barry did one of his cute little avoidance dances around the question: "Please list for us the positions you held within the TM movement, Nabby, and how much time you spent 'around Maharishi' while fulfilling them. Were you ever, for example, a lecturer paid by the TMO to travel around to centers giving advanced lectures and residence courses, or a State Coordinator, or the person who became the Regional Coordinator whenever Stan Crowe was away on courses? Were you ever selected to be the person giving a TM intro lecture on national TV during the Merv wave? I was all of those things. :-)" But how much actual contact with Maharishi did these various TMO positions involve? > From: nablusoss1008 > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Monday, January 28, 2013 10:45 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: "It's the eyerolling, stupid." > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb wrote: > > That said, as Share might say, "Have a nice day." :-) > > Thanks, but you avoided the question/allegation; were you EVER around > Maharishi ?
