Possible, but here's her explanation, from the aforementioned Fairfield Community Kiosk group: > > Sharalyn, are you going by Roses now? > > Dear Steven, > > Yes, since I got married, my name is now legally > Rose Sharalyn Derise, which quickly went from > "Rose S."

The "cover story" would have been that it was "too negative," but the real story was that it wasn't All About Her enough. FCK lists a total of 50 members but a quick scan shows that only a handful actually post. Its content seems to consist of 1) announcemenets posted by SH/RD, 2) egorants posted by SH/RD, and 3) posts from the six or seven active participants asking questions about SH/RD. My guess from reading a few of them is that the only reason Type 3 is allowed is that those types of posts give her more opportunities to talk about her self (Type 2). In other words, after a few minutes of reading, I got the distinct impression that Sharalyn/Roses' problem may be that all these years she's been seeing stuff from the TM movement that said that the only important thing was the "ME" (Maharishi Effect) and she misread that and believed that they were telling her that the only important thing in life was "me" (her). :-) :-) :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
