In a separate e-mail, Jude pointed out that she had not sent the original e-mail in question to the list, but to a few whom she thought might be interested. I don't know why Frank chose to bring it onto the list instead of telling her privately that he didn't want to receive it. Jude didn't intend to stir up anything on the list or send anything to anyone who didn't want to receive it.
 
I do think the point stands that has been made since, though, that no one person is the "police" of anything on the list (the only person who has that right, IMHO, is Jim Lubin since he created and maintains this site, or the TMA officers since I think the TMIC is under the auspices of the TMA, but I'm not sure about that), and if we're going to allow for mention of New Age or Eastern beliefs in the course of conversation about what helps one with dealing with TM, then we ought to allow mention of God. That has traditionally been the case in the almost 8 or 9 years I've been on the TMIC. I think by and large most people don't send the "religious e-mails" that go around the net except privately though one or two slip in here and there.

Dear God,

It has come to my attention that you have been sending religious matterial to the TMIC.

Several years ago the members agreed that you were not welcome here, either.

I have designated myself the religion police ever since the past officer passed on

[ He has since moved on into heaven: the condo on the corner of Passion and Rosebud streets]

Please, realize that religion has killed more people than cigarettes, and only stirs up people's anger.

please stop,

Yours in HIS memory,

frank
