I canceled my cleaning appointment earlier in the month. I read up that
for most people (probably me) once a year is enough according to recent
research. At that they add whiting so they can charge more. The
dentist originally said x-rays every two years and I guess revenues were
short so they shortened that to yearly. The dentist also wants to
replace a crown but at this time I'm not experiencing any problems.
Dentistry is definitely a big for profit enterprise even if they say
they're not.

The video on the website makes it clear that they are looking for
young people to become TM teachers, not people approaching 60.
Besides, if I had $1,500 to spend, I'd get my crumbling tooth
addressed. The charity dental service in my town wants to charge me
50% and since my cash income per month is literally zero, I'm unable
to get a crown, or even a filling (needs a crown, though they'll
probably just pull it as that is what low-income clinics do).

Your scenario is much more likely than the TM spin - its amazing how
shameless they are in screwing even their own people.
And of course the TM movement gets paid *full price* for the course
anyway. The people stuck holding the bag and paying for it will be
those stupid enough to sign up for the "bargain" TM teacher training
course.
I've got an idea. Why doesn't LAWSON sign up for this course? He's the
one talking about how big a bargain it is, right? And he's never
become a TM teacher, so this is finally his chance to become one. Then
he could keep us abreast of all developments as he's assigned to teach
somewhere and paid a living wage for the two-year indentured servant
period he's signed up for.
But wait...that would imply that *he* actually believed in this
"offer," wouldn't it? And that he's willing to put his financial
future on the line to prove it. Guess that's right out... :-)

It's most likely true that the TMO have a lot of demand at the
moment, they have a great PR team and loads of celebrities
saying they do it and like it. Everyone likes celeb's,
look at what the Beatles did for the TMO, now they've
got Russell Brand, how can they fail!
On the
other hand, why should we or anyone else *believe* these
stories about the numbers of people learning TM? It's
NOT as if they have a track record for telling the truth.
Or has everyone forgotten
the lame attempt to co-opt some Mayan prophecy by claiming
in press releases that they had gathered a group of
"10,000 Mayans" practicing the TMSP? Then they
published an actual photo of the "event"
that showed at most 200 to 300 people. The TM movement lies
all the time. Why should anyone believe anything their
fanatical True Believers claim now?
Also, regarding this latest "low
cost" attempt to create new TM teachers, does anyone
remember the *last* time the TM movement promised teachers
"full time work?" The teachers had to quit their
existing jobs and commit to working for the TMO full-time,
and were guaranteed a livable salary. No one ever got paid,
and the whole scam was abandoned within a few months and
never mentioned again. My suspicion is that this is exactly
what is going to happen to the poor schmucks who believe the
sales spiel and take out loans for this course, believing
that the loans will be "written off" after a
couple of years of teaching full-time. There won't be
any *need* for their teaching, and they -- who are after all
the ones who signed the loan papers -- will be stuck having
to repay them.
