I've never been kicked out or disciplined by the TMO, I still get weekly notifications of group Meds and seasonal celebrations from the local center. However, because I find the *organization* so FUBAR, for my own peace of mind, I choose to keep my distance from it, otherwise I would get kicked out. Quite frankly, I find the TMO to be the antithesis of what it claims TM does for the individual. It's not efficient, creative or compassionate. That is a façade. I've found TM leaders to be spiritual bullies and power trippers. "Oh Maharishi wouldn't want that" (I know because I'm in perfect tune with his thinking). I find them lazy(oh Nature will organize that) and their fragile little egos get offended easily if you offer constructive criticism or a better idea (oh, you're just being negative). Don't rain on my parade attitude. I Like TM and think of the results in longer terms and I love Maharishi, although I realized he is just a man with human faults and not the God I once seemed to worship as. As for the TMO, I find it to be an embarrassment. I think the straw that broke the camel's back for me was telling me I had to give the TMO another $2,000.00 to keep teaching, assuming I wanted to. I will not be black-mailed. From: "richard@...

Re: [FairfieldLife] ~~~~~~~~~~ about TMO friendship ~~~~~~~~~~~ It's starting to look like an informant went bat-shit crazy when I mentioned getting kicked out of the TMO. This must be a sensitive issue. Go figure. It might be a topic for discussion, but nobody seems to want to admit that they got kicked out. Has anyone been kicked out of the TMO? If so, for what reason? Just be honest. Thanks. Questions: What makes someone join a cult in the first place? Why would anyone want to stay in a cult? Why would anyone get kicked out of a cult? Other topics for discussion: How could anyone quit a cult and do it "mindfully"? Obviously anyone that stays in an abusive cult for a decade or more has already had their brain washed several times over, right? How does someone in a cult get out of the trance-induction state? Should they go see a cult-exit counselor? Some people feel better when they have someone to talk to. I'm not convinced that dialoging on social media will help cure anyone from cult-thinking. Also, what about electric shock therapy? Where is Dr. Pete when we need him? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : FUCK YOU -- YOU LYING FUCK, WILLY. Never was kicked out of the movement. Left it mindfully. If I was in your state, I'd sue you for slander. What an evil fucking twisted-ass creep you are.
