Though I was not talking about you, I find it interesting that you would give Berg the same benefit of the doubt you would give to Pol Pot.

When and how long and where were you in TF? How much of the MO Letters did you read? Where you really a sold out disciple or of just a visitor? How much did you forsake to join TF and to what intensity did you surrender yourself to the TF teachings?

Some of those are subjective measures but all of those things were a continuing mental and spiritual exercise on each one and on others while in TF. There were trusted people and those who were not trusted but kept at a distance because some of us (the blind following the blind, who were totally sold out) were more than the others.

Your words in this long answer make me wonder about you and your relationship with TF AND with Berg. It seems that there is a lack of understanding of the TF, its leadership and the power in daily life of the MO letters. I have found the same thing on many other posters here and of other boards but mainly because they were never totally in. Having been a visitor or a half-baked hippie that needed a place to stay for a few months doesn't qualify. What is that your case?

Saying I am bias is an understatement. Of course I am, because I am a witness, I lived it and saw it. To imply that because I am bias against TF and Berg disqualifies me to give out my story, a story you might object, is pretty silly and makes me wonder what your intention is.

If what I am saying is not true, refute it. But how can you if all I say has been published at one time or another.

The only reason why I can think you would be interested in present yourself as a sophisticated and impartial judge is because you don't recognize the veracity of those facts. Do you want to know more about me to shift the topic and make it about me and not about TF and about Berg.

Now tell us, I beg you, where, when and how long were you in TF and maybe I'll tell you my story.
