No it's not true! I have no reason to support M, but I took a look at the code (since I write this sort of stuff for a living).

For the record:

The html makes it look like all donations go to the same place, but the Javascript makes the difference.

When the radiobox is clicked:

the Javascript runs this code:

function setComment (name) {

var form = document.forms[name];
if (form.contribution[0].checked) {
form.comment.value = "Allocate my contribution to help promote Maharaji's message ";
} else if (form.contribution[1].checked) {
form.comment.value = "Allocate my contribution to provide relief for victims of Hurricane Katrina";
} else {
form.comment.value = "Allocate my contribution to other humanitarian efforts";
}

}

so the value of 'form.comment' is set according to where people indicate the money should go.

The coding is fine. Of course, we don't know where the money really goes, but it does have the potential to be allocated correctly.

I think we should be more careful with such allegations. It's not the case that the more mud we throw, the more of it will stick. The more unfounded allegations, and the more spurious claims we make, the less any real evidence of malpractise stands out.

I have been reading this site for a while now. I regard myself as entirely exed, and am sorry for all the time and effort I put into this cult. I like this site - I am glad to have found it, but I think it's effectiveness at helping premies who are looking for another side of the story is not helped by the number of postings that just assume the worst to be the truth.

I expect you'll hear more from me later - I hadn't expected this kind of thing to be my first posting, but I had to correct this error.
