I must have missed that, Lexy, my apologies.  I wasn't sure if you had ever said you were in an ashram or not.  Common sense, on my part, would have indicated you were since so many here were, but still, I didn't want to paint you with the incorrect brush!

I was just making the point that even though we were all dedicated premies, none of us was a PAM!  In my own opinon, that is an entirely different perspective and one that has to be kept.  It was THOSE people who we trusted to tell us the "real" poop on what M was up to........ second by second wasn't too much to ask

Yes, Lexy, we all "lied" to one degree or other, but it was mostly to ourselves.  If I had said M takes daily mudbaths, everyone would KNOW I was lying (or just being silly) because everyone KNOWS (and knew) I wasn't a PAM........ but if you WERE A PAM, then you go about bald-faced lying, that's different.

I think my perspective has to do with the "special trust" in which we held these folks.  When I was a "senior" person in the military, the more senior I became, the more trust I garnered and all the more importatn it was that I tell the absolute truth.  I couldn't claim, unless it was something classified, that "I didn't know" and get away with it.  Maybe that isn't a really good analogy, but it's the one area where I think I can make a judgement and have it merit some attention.  "I" have been in a "trusted" position and to lie to my troops (those who trusted me with their very lives) that way would have been unforgiveable! You see where I am coming from?

I trusted these people....... good, honest, forthright "believers" who would do no harm, knowlingly....... you know what I mean?  Yeah.... they sure deserved "my" trust, no?  See how easily those lies dribble through their lips?  It must get easier with practice (and the requisite spine-ectomy that M put them through).  Assh___s
