Thanks for replying - yeah, it is hard to tell if those entrenched, "we are simply better than you" attitudes will change, but happy to see the dirty laundry flapping out the window for a change.

And as odd as it may seem to some here, I am willing to believe that folks doing things in their awareness can work seeming miracles. If Anita Moorjani can eliminate her many tumors in 11 days after coming out of a coma, then most anything is possible. I don't really think the yagya deal is any more efficacious than a group of Christians getting together for regular prayer and it seems clear the TMO uses the idea that the pundits yagyas are something real special to collect large fees - which I think is not too cool. I mean, they raise a hundred thousand bucks to save England when the pundits are already on site and could easily do it anyway with no need for donations? Anyhow, I agree its good for the Movement that this happened, but perhaps you are more optimistic than I am as to the end result. Having seen Bevan and some of his lieutenants in action in years past (like Chris Crowell - ugh!) I think they will dig their heels in and do as they always do which was generally change nothing and denounce anyone who asks for change as being "negative" or get rid of 'em. -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 3/21/14, doctordumbass@... mailto:doctordumbass@... <doctordumbass@... mailto:doctordumbass@...> wrote: Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Question for Feste To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, March 21, 2014, 12:20 PM Hey, MJ, good morning, and allow me to sashay right into the middle of this - I think this whole "pundit riot" (PR for short), which was *very tame* by international standards, was a good thing. It woke up the administration, like nothing else would have, and publicized the program - as the phrase goes, 'there is no such thing as bad publicity'. After this, the full spotlight is on the dudes in Iowa, in their cream colored suits. Nothing like a little unwelcome attention, from the general public, and surrounding communities, to get something right.:-) Your thoughts? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : Feste, if I recall correctly, you said the pundit program should be ended and that it was a mistake to begin with. Why do you feel it was a mistake from the beginning? MJ
