I've never done TTC, but, as you indicate - I would find it to be in
character with MMY to poke holes in other practices in a factual
manner, i.e. for valid reasons - just as I would expect Him to quailty
ensure the techniques taught by His own movement.
As far as cult mindset concern, I find the Robin Carlsson thing - as
related to myself on this list - to be very informative: MMY told
people to let it be, but TMO middle-management simply would not take
no for an answer, and went to work.
I've seen this phenomenon repeated on some many occassions. Behind
every expression of cultism is found a blond, blue-eyed,
pencil-dicked governor who traded the gestapo uniform a/o inquisition
robe he wore in a previous life with a "CIA wanna be" business suit.
