Since it appears that JohnR is not going to respond to my challenge with his analysis of my friend's medical condition as indicated in her Jyotish chart, and I want to finish up my participation in all existing threads on FFL before the new year starts, I will post the answer.
( It goes without saying that any subsequent attempts by JohnR or any other Jyotishi to say, "Oh, I saw that in the chart, but I was just late in posting my response" should be greeted with howls of derisive laughter. :-) The medical issue my friend is dealing with is called being pregnant. Other than that simple and fairly common medical issue, she is 100% healthy. Her doctors, both allopathic and from the world of alternative medicine, believe that she will have a normal home birth, but just in case, arrangements have been made by the midwives at a nearby hospital in case she requires surgery. We all hope that isn't necessary. Below is the text I sent to the FFL moderators. The only thing I changed in it was to delete my friend's last name (for privacy, and to keep stalkers away from her) and to insert the word "best" in front of "friend," because she really is my best friend. I'm heading off in a few min- utes to spend the rest of the year with her, even though that'll only be five hours. :-) Had JohnR analyzed the chart and posted that he "found" indicators of disease, that would have been partly because I described her condition as a medical issue. Well, duh, it is. Giving birth IS a medical issue, and never a 100% safe one. But IMO the only reason he would have "found" indicators of disease in her chart would have been because *he was looking for them*, and projecting them onto a chart in which they did not appear. Similarly, when Judy and Raunchydog accused me of violating my friend's privacy by making her medical condition public, they were *looking for things to demonize me with*, and projecting them onto the situation in the form of the bogus "privacy" straw man. Please join me in laughing at their attempts to portray me as a Bad Guy for violating my friend's "medical privacy." It's hard to *miss* the medical condition of someone who is eight and a half months pregnant; keeping it private is just not an option unless you are wearing a tent. :-) The original letter to the FFL moderators follows, in case someone actually wants them to confirm that this is what I sent to them earlier. As noted above, the only thing in it I have changed is to delete my friend's last name out of concern that one or more TBs here would start stalking her the same way that they stalk me and Vaj and Paul Mason and John Knapp and others who have dared to be critical of TM or its ludicrous "extra added cost" products like Jyotish. I still think that this would have been an interest- ing test, if JohnR had had the cojones to respond to it. But he didn't. I think that speaks for itself about the depth of *his* belief in the accuracy and efficacy of Jyotish. But the interesting test that DID take place was how a few TM True Believers here responded to the idea of Jyotish being put to the test. If John's lack of a response speaks volumes, theirs fills libraries. Happy New Year, Unc/Turq/Barry *************************************************** Sent to Rick, Alex, and gullible_fool: As mentioned on FFL, I am challenging JohnR to use the birth data below to pinpoint the nature of the medical condition that my friend is deal- ing with. The birth data: Born: Suffern, New York, USA September 18, 1965 18:06 (6:06 p.m.) The person, and their medical condition: This is the birth data for my best friend Laurel, who is very, very pregnant and about to give birth. Both medical doctors and alternative care providers have assured her that all is perfectly fine with the pregnancy, and that there is no danger to either mother or (soon) daughter. A normal birth is planned, but as I said there is the possibility of required surgery if things don't go as planned. As I understand Jyotish, *if it works* John should have no problem with noticing this medical condition in her chart, even if I did not specify the sex of the person. In fact another Jyotish practitioner DID, in fact, predict the pregnancy from her chart a year before it happened. She wasn't trying to get pregnant.
