N, I think you're right.  I just came to the end of the line with one of my long time still premie friends.  He's a major donor.  He lives in a dual world of cult and non-cult people and activities.  He gives second class status to the non-cult part of his life.  We can just eat it.  The discourteous behavior was just too much.  After a week of darshan at the Miami event, and major donor events, he just couldn't handle being back in his daily non-cult world with non- and ex-premies and he flipped out on me.  Just came out with such anger.  We're done.  The heck with him and all of his crap.  I'll just have to go on living without this friend.  I've delicately walked on so many egg shells around him.  I hope he enjoys his world wide travels and efforts to finally after nearly 35 years "realize" Knowledge (that's no joke but a TOTAL JOKE, no?).  I hope his child does not suffer from the neglect and intolerance.  I'm sure his family and friends are just in the way of his total sacrifice to whom in his estimation is still the Living Lord.  Full of Grace.  Omnisicient and omnipotent. I am sorry to lose a friend.  But, I cannot take it any more.
