Ben, The lawyers are being placed under retainer. If you'd like days in court which you can't afford, go on talking about Tom's character. Otherwise shut up. Tell us how at $55/month sponsorhip you felt it exceedingly fair to pay yourself a $1,000 a month retainer for administering Puja.net. Unless you'd like a restraining order plus a lawsuit, I'd stop responding and defending the buttholes who want to attack me in FFL now. I have emails, kept in three different parts of the world where you stated you were going for thousands of yagya days a year, which would allow you to retire full time based on major sponsor money. You couldn't been relived that I stopped spending and then send out a a note that you and the pudits (which pudits you can reach in at no sooner than a week) were disappointed). You were counting on my ever expanding sponsorship. I will not defend you in a slander, libal and, fraud and conversion of funds suit. You'd have to defend yourself. And I have the power of YBC on my side. You have the power of a greedy opportunistic priest on your side.
OTOH, you can agree with whatever Dr. Pete (who's employers are being contracted about his participation on FFL) says about my character and have your day in court. Speaking of character, tell us about the $130+K a year job that brought you to SoCal that evaporated. Tell us about your relationship with your wife and who gets to keep the children on what days. You've been doing pujas and yagyas for years and your life is just one of peace and harmony, yes? Tell us about the kind of job you're able to get after all these visits to the temple. It's not so much a matter of Tom's characters as much as the real life of the guru of Puja.net has not been revealed to the public. Try to explain to yourself tonight why helping Dr. Pete attack Tom's character gets you further along the way with your japa mantra, puja and yagyas. And ask yourself how trips to the courthouse will keep you settled in your nightly mantra japa/sort of TM meditation. --- In [email protected], "benjaminccollins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > My prasadam for my first Mahalakshmi Yagna arrived today.
