That mentality has been implicit in the TMO for decades. It's refreshing to see it so blatantly expressed. To any objective observer it would appear to be no different from any other freaky cult that claims 'The Exclusive Solution' to EVERYTHING and the rejection of anything else that might compete with it. In my view that material, if it became publicly available knowledge, would be fatally damning - especially in a teach-TM-in-the-public-school-system effort. This stuff is such a creepy sham. It paints the TMO as not much different from True Believer fringe cultish outfits like Scientology or the Seventh Day Adventists.
