That's as far as any one of them ever gets. The same freedom that Doug had was what gave the Maharishi and every other spiritual fraud artist, including Deepak Chokra, Benny Hinn and Prem Rawat, AKA the Guru Maharaji (the pudgy prophet) and the Reverend Ike, the power to prey upon the emotionally bankrupt.

I worked with Glen Priest for a solid year right after this happened. He rarely spoke of Doug unless prompted, but when he did it was with obvious fondness.
Everybody has their own perspectives of what happens in any given situation. Often they don't jive with each other, and just as often they're wildly inaccurate. |

Bill,
I actually knew Mike Marlin's brother Matt. I never heard anything negative about Doug. Plus, Mike Marlin toured with Doug in the late 70's as his intermission act - not in the late 80's, when Doug retired. So he should have no reason to have any bad feelings for how Doug released his staff - considering he was not "on staff" at that point. |
