Judy may be many things, but she isn't a true believer and I'll tell you why. There is so much anti-TM crap that is published on this newsgroup that a genuine true believer would simply not allow themselves to be exposed to it for more than two or three times. Judy has allowed herself to be exposed to it for years and, as such, simply would not have been able to sustain the veneer of a true believer. Now, she definitely is a believer but it is based not on blind belief -- which is the characteristic that, more than any other, defines a "true believer" -- but on experience and years of intellectual examination and consideration. And a true believer wouldn't be critical of the TMO, which Judy is from time to time.
