they hate me because they think my book supports Ken, plus I
received
permission from him to use all those quotes from the Course in
my
book, so I must be conspiring to get the "official" published
version
of ACIM to the world! (Shame on me.)
I don't hate Ken, with whom I am actually on friendly terms. Nor
am I
legally challenging the copyright on the Course--the case concerns
the Hugh Lynn Cayce version of the Text.
I suggest that sticking to facts would be good for what ails you.
I'm glad you mentioned this Gene - you've made me realise that Gary
made
another mistake I should have commented upon. I am not involved in
any of
the current litigations, etc., that Ken has launched against people
for
whatever reason and never have been. (That said, if I ever win the
lottery
I'd be more than happy to contribute!)

I don't think it matters what you said, did't say and are for.
Same with GeneWS.
As Patrick just pointed out, getting controversy stirred up and
publicity (of sorts, like on this board and the ng where a LOT of
people read, even if they don't actively participate) is good for the
sale of the book.
If you get people's attention then then want to read it, just to
see what all the fuss is about.
It's probably done all the time, and on a bigger scale with the
bigger publishers and books.
They probably don't care what anyone says about the book, the
author, the author's wife, the facts in the book or the publisher.
As long as people say something, and others get interested in
finding out what it's all about.
In a way, those of us who have strong opinions and are open and
outspoken about them, are their best salespeople.
And we don't even get a percentage of the profits (LOL)
