			<description><![CDATA[ Just how much does SRF'S legal department spend of the members money?<br><br>A while ago, I met Patricia Lyons, the woman who filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against SRF in 1998. (LA Superior #BC184382) Eventually, Sister Savitri negotiated a settlement with Patricia. During the course of the negotiations, Savitri and Patricia also talked about the SRF vs. Ananda lawsuit. <br><br>&quot;SRF must have spent $7 million dollars on that lawsuit,&quot; Patricia said.<br><br>&quot;Oh, much more... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Dear ones,<br>This is copied from jaijaijai's posting re: SRF lawsuit (Ananda section).  Thought it was appropriate to SRF's Legal Dept,/BOD's &quot;goodwill&quot;.  I've all along thought the character in question was a direct reflection of those who've employed him and as well as an indication of their naivity?/stupidity?/callousness?/meaness?.  They've really &quot;been playing with the devil&quot; and paying dearly for that service, dollars and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think it is very telling that there are so many notes on this board about SRF coming to get us with their lawyers.  I must have read a dozen recently.  What a compassionate place SRF must be.  What does it mean that the group of insiders (or ex) on this board are thinking that SRF is capable of something like that?  What does it mean that in the land of the free and the brave, so many of you are so afraid of speaking your minds here?  I suspect many more have visited, and might even... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Keep in mind the type of people in SRF management when you add a note here.  If someone close to management starts to seem like a liability, or cause the bad ladies criticism, or heaven-forbid disagree with them, then that person is sacrificed.  There is no honor among thieves.  So please be careful criticizing people like Cindy Davis and Bni. Jill on places like this board or in letters to SRF.  These wonderful devotees humbly serving the work could have their peers turn on them should there... ]]></description>
