[FairfieldLife] Question on Religion

2014-04-03 Thread Michael Jackson
So during the pundit riot events, I saw the R-1 Visa thing where the pundits 
are designated as religious workers, and the federal guidelines say they have 
to be sponsored by a non-profit religious organization or an outfit that is 
affiliated with a religious organization. And I got to thinking that the 
pundits are required to do not only yagyas but to also do TMSP twice a day.

So my question is: how can a non-religious organization (the TM Movement) 
require a group of religious workers to perform a secular practice (TMSP) every 
day as a condition of their employment as R-1 visa religious workers? Or is 
this a subtle admission that TMSP is actually a religious practice - you know, 
to get that soma flowing in a most sweet and exhilarating stream for Indra and 
the other gods and goddess to drink? So's they kin give us wealth and good 
lookin' gals and jools (flawless for jyotish purposes of course) and lots of 
other good stuff?

Apparently you had your chance and you blew it - divorced, alone, poor, 
angry and desperate. Go figure.
