If Jim had come over all heavy with me ( he didn't ) when I was first posting here I would have fled and not come back...and yet I was open to exing. 

"... and to a premie, if you attack Maharaji, or criticize him, or his belief system, that is very threatening to many premies and that is seen as a huge insult, or a put-down, or a vicious attack... "

It's actually very frightening , Joe ! When I first came here some idiot called himself " Guru Maharaji " and posted a message to me...believe it or not, for a moment I thought it really was from GMJ....I trembled all over. Then there were the altered images of his lawdship.......HOW SHOCKING ! I mean this was the frigging Lord of the Universe, for gawd's sake.... who could strike me dead just for looking!! I was shaking, sweaty and could hardly breathe ... daft but true! It's really hard to think back and imagine that kind of a premie mindset ( kind of " frozen in time") but it was only 9 months ago and it was my mentality then !
