It should if you were a cult member. Rick, you were involved with the TMO and MMY way, way outside the orbit of being a "mere" practitioner of the TM Program. You embraced something that had a guru, an organisation that had a belief system and an entirely separate and different way of life than an ordinary American. You weren't forced into it and you weren't required to partake of it. In fact, you were told in the first 5 minutes of the Introductory Lecture -- your first official exposure to the TMO -- that it wasn't a philosophy or a religion yet you went right ahead and partook of that by becoming a TM teacher and living amongst the celibates and inner circle of MMY for many, many years. So, yeah, I agree with many of your complaints about the TMO and MMY but in the interests of balance and fairness, you willingly went into that lifestyle that was the opposite of the TM Program. You can't now turn around and claim shock and awe for all the horrible things that the Movement turned out to be. For, to use your words above, "the most hardcore TBer" to now question his assumptions by looking at the materials you cite, is a bit ingenious. A TBer would have to be a complete idiot to now feel shock at all these revelations when from Day One of anyone's involvement in the TMO or TMO Inner Circle it was obvious that it was "off the program".
