Your concerns about John and I
[edit]Dear Nosmo,
After reading your list of your concerns about John and I over at the ZappaZ nomination board, at first I had the mistaken impression that poor John had recently been dragged into court by Rawat & Co. as if for some reason it was a crime for him to be organized. :-) I just visited the ex-premie.org site to see if this were so, and gladly, apparently not. I am also not quite certain what you mean by my 'run-ins' with Scientologists in Clearwater, unless you are referring to their attempt to infiltrate the Quaker church that I was a member of, and my successful move to block this infiltration effort. I would like to hear more about this if you don't mind. If you have any questions for me Nosmo, I would be happy to reply to any email you might want to send me via my Wiki account.
- Sincerely,
PS: I also posted a copy of this note to the ZappaZ nomination board.
Regarding whether or not the ex-premie site is an 'organization'...
[edit]Dear Nosmo,
You seem to be very concerned as to whether or not the ex-premie site is an 'organization'. I don't quite understand why this concerns you so much, but I will try to answer your questions about this here. John is absolutely correct about the fact that a formal or legal organization has never been associated with this website. However, according to the dictionary definition, an informal organization has always been associated with it. The dictionary defines an organization as a group of persons organized for some end or work. By that definition, whenever any two people agree to cooperate together towards a common goal, an informal organization exists. The common goal of this website has always been to publish the truth about Mr. Prem Rawat, whether positive or negative, and I think that it is a reasonable assumption that most who have participated in that website have probably agreed with that goal.
So according to the informal dictionary sense of the word, yes we have had two or more people agree to work together towards a common goal, and therefore, yes an informal type of organization has always been associated with this website. That is the type of organization I was referring to. The type that John referred to was a formal or legally recognized organization. If you still remain unclear about all of this, please let me know and I, or possibly John, would be happy to explain further for you here, or otherwise try to assist you with better understanding some of these things. Thank you for your interest in the ex-premie.org website.
- Sincerely,
