Hi Brian, Firstly, I see you made the cut. May I be the first to offer my heartfelt congratulations. Many have tried, but few have succeeded~~glad to see you're amongst the Chosen. :)
Now, on to your questions...firstly, don't believe everything you read. (Just out of curiosity, where have you been reading about little old Fairfield?) Most of us former TMers are living here just fine without the TMO. Nobody in town gives any credence to the east-facing loonies, and my suggestion is that you don't either. However, if you really are still into all the rules and regulations, Vedic City would probably be a better fit. No worries~~ it's just a mile away. Bevan may still be officially president of MUM, but nobody ever sees him and many wouldn't even recognize him. I can't give any info on the Rajas because that's not exactly the crowd I hang with. Undoubtedly others know more. As far as keeping people in line goes, I hear they are practically begging people to come to the Domes, and even paying by the month. I'm not sure what line you're referring to, but nobody not closely involved with MUM pays much attention to what goes on there. We use their pool and steer clear of anything else. I hope that answers some of your questions. Why not visit and see how you like it? There are some nice coffeehouses and it's an easy drive to Iowa City, Chicago, Madison etc. On May 3, 2011, at 6:18 PM, brianbmurr wrote: Hi All, I may know some of you from 79-80 when I was there. I am thinking about moving back after 30 years. Would I get culture shock? I helped build the first dome and that was cool. Life was simple, and we were all on the same mission. Now I read that my house has to face east, Bevan is still there, Larry Domash is long gone and there are lots of guys that paid a million bucks to wear a crown. What is up with that....kinda scary IMO. So, my earnest question is......if I return, is there still the spirit of a cause for enlightenment and making the world a better place? Also have the gestapo gone away, or are they still a force to keep us in line? Thanks in advance for any input, this is a big decision. Brian
