Idiot TM'ers or Let's Defend a Woman and her colleagues who defend wiring their hands over rapists having to face the consequences of their actions.
You are saying I am a bigot because I think someone who has been touted as a great success story and example of what TM can do in a person's life showing on a live show that is aired all over the world more, much more concern for 2 sexual abusers than for their victim? Share, Feste, Ravi, Judy, and 7th Ray - you are thankfully vastly in the minority - of the tens of thousands of comments, blogs and articles about this situation, the vast majority are taking Harlow and Crowley to task for their stupid, insensitive and unprofessional behavior - thank you God that there are more people NOT doing TM in the world than those doing TM if you are going to actually condone these women's stupidity. It is NEVER ok for anyone to sexually abuse or misuse a woman, period and it is equally not ok for people to show sympathy for the abusers over the victims. So to those of you who have done so, I hope it never happens to you or your daughters if you have any, if it did I expect you will be singing a different tune. I have good female friends who are survivors of sexual abuse and your kinds of bullshit attitudes are the ones that make life much more difficult for these survivors - in my opinion these women survivors have more beauty, grace, integrity, courage, sattvic energy and common sense than all of you have collectively in your entire body/mind/emotions in this and all other lifetimes put together. I won't tell you to go to hell because you are already there. More than 200,000 people have signed the petition demanding an apology from CNN for these two women's bullshit reporting and hand wringing on behalf of the sex abusers - but you five know better than they do - its a shame you all aren't rajas - with your kind of thinking, you would really serve the TM propaganda machine very well. And ps, if you watched the tapes of the beginning of the trial those two little bastards were yucking it up till it became obvious they were going to be found guilty - your sympathy is wasted on them - they are only sorry they are being held accountable. I guess next you will say you have sympathy for the girls arrested for threatening to kill the rape victim. TM has reallllly made you into fine example of human beings. Last post of the week. And since it is, I will tell Buck don't worry about King Tony being at risk trying to straighten things out in India, all he has to do is think the way this lot is thinking, pat Girish on the back and ask for a cut of the money. He will do fine. ________________________________ From: feste37 <fest...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 8:37 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: TM and its Rock Stars --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <authfriend@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson <mjackson74@> wrote: > > > > Every exchange like this just reinforces my belief that long > > term TM makes ones brain turn into mush and removes the > > ability to think clearly. > > Right, Michael, you're obviously the clear-thinking one here. > Too bad you haven't been able to address a single one of the > points that have been made.

He attacks Crowley simply because she is a TMer. Is that any better than attacking someone for being a Catholic, or Mormon, or a Jew? Let's suppose that someone is angry at the Catholic Church ("Those priests are all child molesters!") and then finds a news presenter who happens to be Catholic and attacks them for something innocuous they said, when his real purpose is to display anti-Catholic bigotry. Poor MJ seems to be in a state of permanent rage and righteous indignation, and bigotry is the result. I wish he would go fishing or something to calm down.
