What "purity" really means to TYK is "never doubting your master." In her egocentric universe, she represents what is good, and all else is evil.

So if she wants to have sex with someone, or to grope them, it's a sin to refuse her. Sexual desires not directed at her are forbidden unless she gives permission. It's warped, but it's consistent.

She also doesn't seem to like people being attracted to her, however harmlessly, if she can't completely control the situation. I remember a few instances where men outside of COL expressed interest in her, and she seemed to get a thrill out of playing hard to get. One was a Korean Hollywood producer who also claimed to be a martial arts grandmaster. In COL class she played back a sweet-talking phone message he left her, then she said he wanted to dominate her and that she wasn't interested.

Did she ever play back the phone message SHE left him? If it is even remotely like the ones she left for AG, she should be getting paid for phone sex.

She wouldn't take that job. She might be overqualified and she would just piss off everyone with her pidgin. Plus she would probably sound like Ms Kwan on Mad TV, "FOXY lady, do anyting you like..." But what do i know, i am sure there is a market for even a 60 year old, short, plastic, hairy, piranha-esque, body-defying defacator, who can also give anyone a semantics lesson on Columbus. At least her hands look young and that alone will attract a few abhorrants.

...Most women wouldn't choose prostitution if they had other options. Most women become prostitutes because they're either forced to or because they are so impoverished and will do anything to take care of themselves and their families.

This is probably true of most prostitutes. However, a few sociopathic ones take up the profession because if they play the game right they can make lots of money and have power over men. In Steinbeck's novel "East of Eden," Kate is a prostitute of this type.

They also believe because they hope it will get them more of the attention they were showered with when they first joined, which gets more and more rare as the years go by. They are fickle from denying reality. :icon_shak
I think that you provided a better more thorough explanation.

Good one. She probably enjoys fondling money more than people.
It made me giggle.

Kimmy is so similar to Kate that you would think 'East of Eden' was a biography. kimmy doesn't care who she hurts or destroys... so long as she gets something out of it.

It's been a long time since I read East of Eden, but as I recall, parts of Kate ended up in a formaldehyde jar.

Kate also tried to abort her pregnancy.

I have been meaning to ask the question concerning the post about the couple who became pregnant, which infuriated TYK. What was the upshot? Did they abort the fetus, did they leave, or did they (horrors) carry the pregnancy to term and divert some of their energy to their child?

From what is posted and what I have heard and seen, tyk treated EVERYONE like absolute ****.

tyk takes pleasure in talking negative about EVERYONE. The very first day I met her, she talked nasty about each and every person that was there and and every person that wasn't there and how great she was. She told me the PM story, everyone's secrets and how she saved them.

All energy should be put in taking her down and only the exes can do that. They are the only ones that can stop her from hurting others.

That's what she did to me too. She showed me what others had written her in private, and I felt embarrassed reading such intimate material. Much of it revolved around sexual experiences or thoughts. Even her favorite at the time, SHS, did not escape her verbal revelations, nor WHH, nor the money MBF would be coming into.

Then she showed me her masterpiece - about four pages of her book - you know - the little girl running away from the bombing. At that time that's all she had written, but evidently she got a ghost writer once she got to California.

I remember a few private classes I had with TYK in which she "balanced my energy" at the end. She lightly touched me in a number of places, including all my "energy centers" (chakras, basically). At the time I thought she was trying to purify me, but after learning from these posts things I didn't know about her before, I suspect that purification was not her motivation.

Oh yeah, I got that treatment along with DP, before the two of us spent all night constructing some tables for TYK's mother's temple. What a bitch that was - no talking, no eating, just meditate as you work your ass off.

And now I want to make a comment about how uncomfortable I was sharing a shower with TYK, at her insistence. In those days, I never realized what an evil woman she was, maybe she was getting her jollies looking at my bod, I don't know, but I was a trusting follower and despite my normal amount of modesty, went along with it. On other occasions, especially at the cabin we had all bought together, she requested that I share her bed. In retrospect, I find this all rather disturbing, but hindsight is 100 percent.

Which post was that? I read all the posts but don't remember.

JH (formerly CT) was a regular martial arts student who attended energy class but wasn't in COL yet when she and her husband at the time had a baby, AT. When AT was maybe three or four and no longer in diapers, they both joined COL. JH and her ex shared custody of AT, which TYK did not like. TYK even accused JH's ex of molesting AT (and claimed AT liked it, just to reinforce the evil child idea). Both JH and AT are out of COL now. They left recently.

At one point Chica's mom, ES, thought she was pregnant. This was before her relationship with SHS was made public. I think she turned out not to be pregnant. This is what I remember TYK saying.

I read in previous posts something about TYK herself having an abortion. I haven't heard about any other pregnancies in COL.

a parallel crusader of sorts, is dead. Just thought I'd pass along a moment of silence...

He's the videographer who taunts Scientologists from the BBC/Scientology expose' vid.

and just for the record.... suicide my ass!

and just for the record.... suicide my ass!

Yeah, it looks really suspicious.

By the way, for the record, I'm in my forties, I'm in good health, I'm not reckless or impulsive by nature, and I'm enjoying life. If by chance you should hear of my untimely death, and it was not some overwhelming accident or infectious disease, it was foul play.

I doubt TYK would go after exers to the degree that the $cientologists have. Even if she did, I doubt I'd be high on her list. But I thought I'd mention this just in case.

Bemused, Congrats on checking out and leaving the hotel california. Somewhere Don Henley weeps.

I was listening to "Hotel California" on the way home from work today, and I remembered that TYK always liked that song. A few of her instructors played musical instruments, and I think it was MBF who could play it on guitar and DDJ who could sing it. She would often ask them to play if for her.

Sometimes new meditation or COL students would ask her why she liked it when the lyrics went against what she professed to teach. She always said, "I like da enagee." When I heard a few Korean folk songs she liked, I could tell that many of them were in minor keys and used chord progressions similar to those in "Hotel California," so at that time I could accept her answer on that basis.

I thought she either didn't know the lyrics, didn't understand them, or didn't care what they were. One of these may be the case, which would be quite ironic. But a fourth possibility I didn't consider before discovering this board is that she could relate to the lyrics but didn't want to admit it.

I was just thinking, maybe she couldn't pronounce her words correctly because of her big teeth and/or lips.
