From: AJW Email: None To: Robyn Subject: HELP STOP IT Message: Hi Robyn and all, I'm embarrased. It's not my birthday. My birthday is October 6th. This year I'm going to be fifty. I'm hoping to have a big party where my old pals and dignitaries from Elan Vital can mix happily with exes and non-cult members. I must confess, it's really nice to get all these friendly messages. I can't wait until October. (Maybe I'll wait till the end of the day to post this, then I can read some more messages). Actually, I'm starting to feel like it's my birthday after all. It's the feeling inside that counts right? Sod it. I think I'll take the day off. Now, where did I put those Rizlas... Thanks Robyn, (Our parasite Queen has two birthdays, why shouldn't I?)

You could have just emailed me, now I am losing face as birthday goddess, you don't want to upset a goddess do you? Now what will happen on 10/6 is I will have to save this thread and repost it all, I guess I'll have to change the subject though. Work, work, work! :) I didn't know your parasite Queen had 2 birthdays, what's that about?! Now, a general question, whose birthday is 6/10 as I thought I got this date from that birthday thread a while back. Oh no, I think I just realized what I did, maybe, 6/10....10/6, I'm dislexic, that is it. Sheesh!

From: AJW Email: None To: Robyn Subject: HELP STOP IT Message: Okay Robyn, here's what you do. Sprinkle a generous amount of dried lettuce down the centre of the oblong white thing. (Ordinary lettuce won't do I'm afraid. Do you have teenage children? They may be able to help). Anyway, you take the long edge without the glue, and kind of wrap it over the lettuce, as if you were rolling up the lettuce in a blanket. You keep rolling until all that is left is the gluey edge. Apply some water, or similar liquid along the glue, then complete the roll. You should now have a cylindrical white object with dried lettuce sticking out each end.

From: JHB Email: None To: All Americans Subject: British & proud of it Message: Look at this logically. 6/10/1999 If this means 10th June 1999, then the sequence of date units is Months, Days, Years. That is the middle unit, the smaller unit, follwed by the larger unit. Completely illogical. It's like saying feet/inches/yards. Isn't it more logical to state the units of measurements in order of their size? Days/Months/Years?? So 6/10/99 quite logically refers to 6th October 1999. Can any American defend their system? John.

From: Katie Email: mishkat@gateway.net To: JHB Subject: There's no defense... Message: ...the American dating system IS illogical, as you said. I think it's a holdover from the way all of us in the US were taught to write out the date in grade school. For example, June 11, 1999 (I know Europeans write 11 June 1999, and I think that's better. In fact I always dated all my class notes that way in school, at the risk of being called pretentious. I even cross my sevens sometimes too - in the US that's considered EXTREMELY pretentious!) But face it, John, you're just stuck with us illogical American ex-premies. Hope you like us anyway! P.S.

From: Robyn Email: sundogs@hotmail.com To: JHB Subject: British & proud of it Message: Dear John, As the Birthday Goddess you would think that I would just KNOW this stuff but after all I am human! :) The way we say it is, it is June 10th, 1999, sounds fine to me but then I grew up with it. Anyway I was looking at all the birthdays I put in my date book but I am not sure if all you Brits wrote your birthdays in numbers, 6/10 (October), or wrote the month so I have it right! Now I am so confused. :( When you write the month do you write 10, October, 1999. That seems combersome so I think I would have noticed and don't remember that but now I think I may have your birthdays wrong. If I don't hear I guess you will all have 2 birthdays like your parasite Queen! :) None of you has yet to tell me why she has 2 birthdays, maybe SHE is GOD!

From: JHB Email: None To: Robyn Subject: British & proud of it Message: Robyn, In the UK, both 10th June 1999 and June 10th 1999 are equally acceptable, I think mainly because there is no chance of ambiguity. (Notice '10th' rather than '10' although of course it would be understood without the 'th'.) Possibility of confusion only arises when the month is expressed as a number. Having working in an international investment bank for many years I an very aware of this possibility so I try to always express the date using the name of the month in any written communication that could be read by Americans. I hope I did that when telling you my birthday!:-) John. Return to Index -:- Top of Index |

From: Sir Dave Email: None To: Rob Subject: Modern times Message: You don't really believe that do you? Scotland needs the taxes of the more heavily populated England and it's a fact that more money goes to Scotland from England than vice versa. In other words, Scotland makes a net profit out of the union. Also since Scotland has a lot of unemployment, many Scots come to England to live and work. The same is true of Ireland and Wales of course. There is no antagonism between Scots and English and there's only those few people harping on about ancient history which has no relevance today since the people concerned in past events died long ago, before this century began.

From: AJW Email: None To: Rob Subject: History Lesson Message: Hi Rob, The 'British' are generally considered to be the Bronze Age inhabitants of the British Isles. These were mainly Celtic nations, who appeared about 600BC and conquered the native Picts, or 'Cruithen' as they were known in Ireland. The Picts continued living in what later became 'Scot' 'Land', after the invasion of the Scots Celts from Northern Ireland. After the Roman invasion, the British were subjugated in the SouthEast. The Anglo Saxon invasion continued from the end of the Roman occupation, in the 4th Century. This was the arrival of the 'Angles' or 'English'. So in terms of history, 'British' tends to mean the inhabitants of Britain before the Roman invasion. In modern Britain, British has a meaning too. The parliament, although dominated by the English, has representatives from all over Britain. The armed forces are from England, Scotland Northern Ireland and Wales, and are known as the 'British' armed forces. It's not the English army. And finally, the 'British' by no means dominate the Celts. You just have to look over to Ireland to see that. And those remarks don't do down well in Wales, Scotland, Brittany, Northern Spain or Cornwall either. Anth the History Teacher Return to Index -:- Top of Index |

From: Sir Dave Email: None To: AJW Subject: History Lesson Message: Thanks for summarising that. So the Scots are those who fled the incoming Celts then. I know there's been several waves of invaders who have all added to the genetic mix. Let's not forget the Vikings who interbred here too. I lived and worked in Scotland for a while and felt absolutely zero antagonism from any Scotish people towards me. I think history is relevant only to a limited degree. Most people don't dwell on ancient history even though they know it happened. Hey, the Romans gave us a hard time before Bodecea whupped their ass at Colchester. But we don't hate the Italians. Only old generation Brits hate the Japanese becasuse of the war crimes. New generation Brits couldn't give a monkey's and Japanese cars and electrical good are very popular.

From: AJW Email: None To: Sir Dave Subject: Scots are Irish Message: Morning Milud, The Scots (I think they were called Scotji) inhabited Ulster. They were Celts too. The Picts inhabited what we now call Scotland. I think here were three Pictish kingdoms, each with their own king. The Scots invaded and defeated the Picts in about the 5th century. The picts remained in the East for about 300 more years, then had another war with the Scots and lost. So it all became 'Scotland'. But I beleive in the West of Scotland, lots of people are still descended from the Picts. They have the right to tell the Scots to go back to their own country (Ulster).

From: barney Email: None To: Brian Subject: Brian gets credit for Frames Message: While these complaints attempt to steal the thunder of the appreciation for the Frames version of the Forum, Brian deserves all the credit for making this happen. I think that the Frames are great and use them exclusively. Although it's a bit cumbersome if you navigate through the messages by solely clicking a message on the left in the Active Index frame these links will immediately appear as having been visited. Whereas if you click the Next link in the right side (the read message side) the links on the left frame will appear as visited only after you refresh the form with either method (refresh the entire page or just the left frame.) BTW, if you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) you can right mouse click in the left frame and select refresh to refresh only the left frame. If you are running a Browser other than MS-IE you'd better know that you are hurting Guru Billji. Also, when responding to a post you might try resizing the frames to avoid having to scroll left and right in the textarea. Return to Index -:- Top of Index |

From: Jerry Email: None To: barney Subject: Brian gets credit for Frames Message: Barney, It works differently depending on what browser you use. With Internet Explorer, its easier. The headings dim automatically when you click them and the message box scrolls automatically as well. With Netscape you have to refresh the index frame by clicking on the separation bar and in order to see what you're typing you have to either use the scroll bar at the bottom of the frame or you have to open a new window. Either way, its a big improvement over the old method. I for one thing the effort put into setting it up was well worth it and appreciate it. Sorry if I came across as a whiner. Didn't mean to.

From: gregg Email: None To: Everyone Subject: Denver Message: When I received Knowledge (in the only black premie community outside of Africa, as far as I know: Cincinati), I was living in Richmond, Indiana. I was the only premie there. I drove to Indianapolis (where there was a suburban ashram) for satsang once a week. (anybody remember those premie conga players?) I ended up in Denver...there was a job there...and IHQ...and, since my experience was in question...I figured immersion in the ashram experience (such as it was in 1977) might help. It didn't, except that being the housefather of a bunch of burned out IHQ premies allowed me the privelege of darshan service, within sight of the Man himself. (one of the fascinating things about this forum is to be able to hear from those who actually got to speak with Him Himself. 99% of premies must satisfy themselves with a theoretical experience of the Lord. Not enough...and this feeling of Not Enough...this feeling of Must Have More...is what motivates most premies. Am I right, or am I chopped liver?) Well, you know how it is. Darshan is impressive. If you are a believer. (I have also been in evangelical services, in which someone presses the palm of their hand upon the forehead...third eye... of the parishioner...who may pass out, darshan style. So tell me premies, what's the difference? The last big community center in Denver, by the way...it was red-carpeted in the pathetically sincere attempt to lure Maharaj Ji there...is now a Spanish-speaking evangelical Christian joint. I have lived in several places since moving here in a premie mood...Japan, SF, Boulder...but I moved back, and it has turned out fantastically. Family, House, Garden, Consciousness...do you think that it was Maharaj Ji's grace? If so, he was most beneficent, allowing me to escape his clutches to experience Ultimat Reality face to face.

By the way, I think that it's kind of strange that Gail can't get into the program because she's not 'sincere', or whatever. I guess that JW's probably right when he said the people who are in charge of letting people in don't want Gail to 'report' on the program on this site, but there are several anonymous people here who do still go to the programs and DO report back.

Most of us would have left by now (except that we know what it's all about, so we can show compassion). Playing second fiddle to an imaginary lover cuts deep (sorry dear, I've got to meditate first).

Everyone has differences, and it makes it hard to consistently love on a daily basis. There are going to be those days when you feel like packing your bags.

Many speak very highly of their spouses to this day (I could never figure out why these people were happy. MJ said that married life was hell again and again.). With Maharaji, you can imagine him to be anything you want. The creator will fix everything. There is no need to worry and take responsibility for personal happiness. Notice that when things are going well, there is less need for videos, MJ, programs, etc. When things are in a slump or a major crisis has surfaced, the good old PREMIE JI resurfaces to mask the pain. MJ and K are an escape mechanism, for sure. Breathe and block your thoughts. Feeling down? Hop on a jet and get high with the Lord. Renew your commitment. That's what's wrong. You just aren't trying hard enough. Return to Index -:- Top of Index |

Being the unworthy, slimy, intestinal worms we are, we are just so lucky to be able to have that gift of that opportunity to have that understanding to give that money we would be spending on unnecessary things like blood pressure medication to Maharaji. Money exists for no other purpose than to dedicate it to Maharaji and his lotus feet so he can spend it on gold plumbing fixtures and $30,000 watches. If you do not have that understanding, you will not experience that gift which is that love, that truth, that grace and that experience, and that knowledge must be approached with that understanding, by his grace.

No matter how you cut it, it is utter hypocrisy for the cult to ban anyone who has received knowledge unless they are some kind of a threat to others, especially because M has always ranted on about how this knowledge is open to anyone and his door is always open. In your case, Gail, the threat is that you might talk about, publicly, what went on at the 'event' and others will comment on it. That isn't allowed.

While the guests are aboard you bitterly complain at what a piece of junk the boat is, and what a cheapskate your brother is for not lending you the money so you can buy your own. After all, if he was truly compassionate he would take care of his own flesh and blood. He finds out about all the abuse you've been dishing out and is deeply hurt, and the next time you ask to use the boat he refuses. He says you don't appreciate his gift, which he has let you use in the past whenever he could, and you have no respect for it or his kindness.

Now, I know that is crap, but that's what he says. So, the ban anyone, setting aside people who are some kind of physical threat which is NOT Gail is hypocrisy to the extreme.

If I publicly criticize the Catholic Church, criticize the Pope, the Bishop and the local priest, will I be BANNED from attending Mass at a Catholic Church? Of course not. What on earth does M have to fear from Gail? What he fears is open discussion. What he fears is Gail talking about his trip publicly in other than cult-programmed terms.

It's different if M is nothing but a meditation teacher who provides relaxation techniques. But then again, if that's all he's doing, why the big fuss? Who cares if his movement crashes and burns? No, it is more than obvious that you guys think he is MUCH more than a meditation teacher and you think K is much more than relaxation techniques, despite what you say and despite the fact that M is trying to rewrite history. THAT'S why it's such a BIG DEAL and that's why you all react so violently to dissent. So, what's the point?

I'll bet that there are aspirants that have bad mouthed all gurus, M, god, truth, justice, and the american way, but THEY are let in without question. But god forbid an ex be permitted to be in the presence of the holy one (or to even watch a live video event). Has any ex that you/we know of caused a commotion at an event? I haven't heard of any? So why would they be afraid of something that's never happened? Even the pie-face incident didn't involve an ex-premie; it was someone that had never been initiated. It seems to me, judging from the evidence, that people without k are the biggest threats. Maybe he shouldn't let aspirants into any programs/events. Anyway, this horse has been beaten to the point of rotting by the side of the road. It's obvious to me that the open-door policy is a sham and it's just as obvious to me that 'his' love (whatever that means) IS conditional. What does that all boil down to? To me, at the very best, it means that he is just a guy that thinks he can teach relaxation techniques and pass them off as capable of producing 'liberation.' He's just a guy with the same hangups and problems as everyone else (only worse, since he tries to pass himself off as god or satguru or whatever). At worst, it means he is the worst kind of fraud that preys on the most sensitive weakness of the human animal.....the intense desire to 'know' what's going on and what the purpose of life is..... to try to know the ultimate thing....to try to know god! It's a weakness that gets us in trouble alot! Why do I call it a weakness? Because we truely understand that we are mortal and we just can't buy it!

In Jesus' case, I think those same few people you mentioned would disagree with you mightily. According to most doctrine, he was god in human form. But, more importantly, if the bible is true he was a TRUE HUMANITARIAN. He didn't 'run' from trouble spots, he entered them willingly. He didn't hide his 'millions,' he didn't have any millions. He didn't live off the backs off his people, he made them loaves and fishes out of nothing (you know...he fed all the people, like M said he would but never did!). Additonally, he NEVER refused to see even his detractors. He might have had some words for them, but they were always welcome to his 'sermons.' See? Huge difference between the two.

From: Mickey the Pharisee Email: None To: Nil Subject: How can god be hurt? Message: 'The bible was written many generations after Jesus died... it's veracity is suspect.' Actually, the earliest Gospel, attributed to Mark, was written around 70 CE. If Jesus was crucified around 29 CE, that would hardly be several generations. The epistles attributed to Paul were written even earlier, around 50 CE. As for their veracity, this subject has more to do with the theological point the authors were trying to make and the beliefs of the communities for whom they were written. The Hebrew scriptures and the Apocrypha were both written BEFORE Jesus was born, so your statement is inaccurate. As for M and his hijinks, we were there, we are witnessess, and this forum has several people who were behind the scenes and were witnessess, too. Return to Index -:- Top of Index |

From: Helen Email: None To: Mickey the Pharisee Subject: It's all our fault Message: Thanks Father M! I knew I could count on you to have some facts at hand when it comes to church history! I really get my knickers in a twist when some premies says it's our fault if we bought the Lord stuff from M, and that if only we'd 'gone inside more' we'd all have the proper understanding. That is crazy making, adsurd, incoherent, & ultimately dangerous thinking to me. It assumes that all other contexts 'out there' in the world should be ignored and that everything that is 'real' resides within. So the whole CONTEXT--thrones, crowns, heavy duty initiators with a fundamentalist message, devotional songs, and M himself and his STATEMENTS that he was the LORD & his promises-- mean nothing. It implies that only those with a higher level of spiritual understanding due to meditating have the real deal on Maharaji, who he really is, beyond all the hype. All I can say is M has a really good deal in having loyal premies who will ignore and deny the CONTEXT and attribute whatever beauty they see within to him. How sweet it is for him financially to have that kind of hold on people. But to me, how yucky for the devotee to be awaiting the Master that way with so little affirmation from outside, worshipping what externally is absurd to others, and becoming more and more inward focussed. I guess i've gotten a lot more concrete over the years & I hold suspect anyone who tries to tell me what I'm seeing isn't real or that it's my own fault if I'm hurt when someone behaves very badly towards me!

I had another guru prior to Maharaji and I was quite self-blaming for a long time about how I dropped the whole thing--the whole 'self-realization' by -guru-surrender- trip. Even when I started posting here in October I still had residual angst feelings if a premie insinuated that I was 'in my mind' or whatever. Now I don't care.

Message: Mickey, if Paul could write letters, and blab so much, what is to keep those at the time from KEEPING the letters and making copies then and there? They valued the comments, what is this idea that they were written LATER? Doesnt make sense, it is too complicated and not likely. The simple human way is to record and save the letters right then and there. And what gave anyone the idea that john and luke and matt and especially mark wrote thier comments years later? That is really a stretch. The obvious simple human way is to write it now. Copies were also written later. Why people think they were written years later is to me justoverlooking the simpleway we do things. If we value it, WE write it. Sure, lots of examples are there in history and especially religion where revisionism and fantasy steps right in. The story of Mark is too much like a diary. Who assumes these guys couldnt write?

From: Mickey the Pharisee Email: None To: KB Subject: How can god be hurt? Message: Bill, Jesus was probably born around 4 BCE and was crucified around 29 CE; Paul's conversion probably occured about 31 CE. He spent several years in the wilderness and being taught by the earliest church teachers before he started his own ministry. His letters started around 50 CE, twenty years after the crucifixion. Yes, the house churches who received his letters kept them and copied them and passed them around to other house churches, that's why we still have them. The gospels were probably written when those who were actual witnesses to the events were dying; that is why they were written down. The first gospel was probably the one attributed to Mark, and Matthew and Luke used Mark's gospel and possibly another source (called Q) for their gospels. The gospel attributed to John was written much later, and that is why it is different from the three synoptic gospels. Each was written for a different community and to make different theological points. Things weren't written down earlier because the earliest Christians believed that Jesus was coming back at any moment, so there was no reason to write things down. Here ends the talk.

The point is: last year he came up to tell me that I was barred from the satellite program. If the roles had been reversed, I would have refused. It would have been better for a stranger, don't you think? Then, he called me frantically for two weeks. He finally reached me to let me know I was banned from further EV events until I went to a meeting. (I was not calling him to go. He put the bug in my ear.) I called him last night to indicate my willingness to attend a meeting. This morning's conversation is at the top of this thread. He is a jerk. Once again, if I got a call like that, I would decline and suggest that the person on the other end of the line do the dirty work. George sits in Montreal and scoops up the money from Canada. I believe he has a full-time job with EV. One year, I sent him over $ 3 200 for videos alone (community property now). Believe me, he was only too happy for me to have his number before.

By the way, while you weren't looking, about 100 companies now publish ALL know phone numbers on CD for easy searching. Now, if the numbers are unpublished, that's different..... Harder to find, but not impossible.....witness telemarketers that know your name and phone number (even though unlisted). Return to Index -:- Top of Index |

From: Rob Email: None To: Mary M Subject: You asked for it Message: The Andersons were renowned for their fighting qualities and were part of the Confederation of Highland clans, the Clan Chattan. The clan name comes from its first chief, Gillichattan Mor, meaning the great servant of St. Catan, whose abbey was situated at Kilchattan on the island of Bute in the Firth of Clyde. The clan Chattan is a confederation of tribes. Through it, small clans gained stength by joining forces to avoid being overwhelmed by more powerful neighbours, such as the MacDonalds of the Isles. In 1291, Eva, daughter of Gilpatric of Clan Chattan married Angus MacKintosh, 6th Chief of the Clan MacKintosh, thereby unifying the chiefly line of the Clan Chattan and Clan MacKintosh for many centuries. In the late 13th century the Camerons occupied some Clan Chattan land around Arkaig thereby starting a bitter feud between Clan Chattan and the Camerons that would last until 1666. In 1370, a group of Camerons, returning from a raid into Badenoch, were met by a force of MacKintoshes, MacPhersons and Davidsons. Although the Camerons were defeated the battle led to a long standing feud between the MacPhersons and the Davidsons over a disagreement on who should lead in the battle. During the 1715 and 1745 uprisings the Clan Chattan largely fought on the Jacobite side and suffered because of this. During the '45, the chief of the MacKintoshs was an officer in the Black Watch. This, however, did not stop his wife (a Farquharson), from raising the Clan Chattan confederation in his absence. She selected the MacGillivray of Dunmaglas as commander and he led the Clans of Clan Chattan to victory in the Battle of Falkirk in 1746. The Clan Chattan also led the Highland charge that was utterly destroed at the Battle of Culloden. Until this century, the chief of the MacKintoshes was also head of clan Chattan. However, when the 28th MacKintosh chief, who was also the 29th Chattan chief, died in 1938 without a male heir, the two chiefships finally became separated. In 1947, the Lord Lyon ruled in favour of another branch of the MacKintoshes, those of Daviot, Inverness-shire, who were recognised as heads of Clan Chattan. The present chief, Malcolm Kenneth MacKintosh, lives in Zimbabwe. Return to Index -:- Top of Index |

Just let me round up my posse first. So, there you are telling us that you have a family history of violence dating back for centuries. And you want to have grown women under your skirt? Does this have something to do with lap dancing? Does Maharaji know about this? Or at least a Catholic Priest? Return to Index -:- Top of Index |
