Christmas in July

To all of our dear friends in successful plenitude:

Seasons Greetings from James Arthur Ray and the {mostly laid off} staff of James Ray International.

It’s been a busy year here at JRI. We are sure that you’ve had just as much success in your financial businesses as we have here at James Ray’s house of goodness and light.

The year started off harmonically with our annual New Year’s Gala for the members of the World Wealth Society.  Everyone at that splendid event agreed that James was the one true God and the manifestation of absolute abundance … holy be his name.  And almost everyone choose to act on investing in future prosperity by agreeing to pay $60,000 for another year of incredible JRI value.

Speaking of value, that is just what James Ray was taking from people this year.  Thank you to the awakened souls who chose to give James value this year.  You are loved, cherished, and thanked by us in bulk.

{When is NOW the right time to tell you about how we also killed some people?  How about NOW?  NOW maybe?}

Christmas came early for us this year.  In July we had our most successful Creating Absolute Wealth event ever.  All the seminar participants had a great time and got more than their monies worth of life changing experiences.  Any rumors of secret deaths are pure speculation based on unharmonic views of what constitutes death.  Let our holiday card photo be a testimonial of the manic good times we had at this important event. In fact, JRI cool kids Greg Hartle, Michelle Goulet, and Megan Fredrickson had such great times that they will never, ever, ever be the same again.  Thanks James!

Of course, there have been the usual bumps along the road.  Running a business can be tricky and we are not immune to mistakes just because we serve God On Earth. You probably heard about the incident in Sedona where the Angel Valley resort may have inadvertently failed to provide enough hoses.  We would like to assure you that we are doing everything in our power to draw this matter to a complete silence.

Balance is Bogus!

During this blessed time of year it is important to remember the important things, like how desperately you want to be rich and live a life that is perfect in every way at every moment. What better way to say, “I matter to me,” than by sending James Ray International more of your money.  We truly, and deeply, hope that you’ve valued the brain cleaning and like-mindedness training you have received from us enough to continue paying even if you aren’t actually attending seminars within this quantum reality.

Sending you our love right now,

Happy Holidays from all of us at James Ray International

    And Merry Christmas to you John and Lynn! You can count on me sticking to this asshole until he gets what he has coming. Tiger :: on the other hand :: is free to have sex with whoever he wants.

    My thoughts are with you this weekend :: and with all the other families who have recently lost someone they love to the senseless greed of a disgusting animal.

    I’ve never seen two more annoying-looking women in my life.

    I have no clue who they are, but they don’t even have to say a word. I can tell already they are exactly like the woman in Swingers that Vince Vaughn walked away from while tearing up her number.

    I bet they have copywriting tattooed on their lower backs.

    More than happy to provide the pic… Happy Holidays Salty…let’s keep the awareness flowing. My thoughts, too, were with the families spending the holidays this year without their loved one with them.

    Christmas is a time of year when all these idiots seem to justify their existance. Somehow they think if they sing loudest at church and act like crazy as if they are giving to the church it justifies all the shit they do out of church hours which incidentally is most of the time. The ones who look the biggest idiots are the ones who are caught out by the authorities the most but the last laugh is for the victims and their families because these idiots look bigger fools the longer they are in the spotlight.

    To Anon:

    Well, James Ray is keeping a very low profile on his blog. He has not posted a “Sedona Update” since November, and there is nothing for December other than a generic holiday message.

    I don’t know what he has done previous Christmases, but he is not doing anything to draw any more attention to himself than he already has.

    I guess he’s keeping his head down, preferring to fight his enemies (aka his victims and law enforcement officers) in court. He has realised, or been told by his PR fixer, that he won’t get any sympathy from the public no matter how many NLP techniques he tries to use. At least he’s stopped this pitiful whining about how hard it all is for him. For the moment at least. It’ll start up again soon.

    First priority for him will be to get hold of all the records that have been unsealed, find out what the police have been told by witnesses, and get a few more “signed statements” from some of the more loyal survivors to present “his” side of the story (aka a bunch of lies).

    http://www.examiner.com/x-23325-Tampa-Deism-Examiner~y2009m12d24-Judge-vacates-order-to-seal-documents-and-murder-scene-photos-in-James-Ray-sweat-lodge-case

    Second priority will be to do all this with a minimum of public exposure, minimising damage to his reputation so he can continue scamming if he gets let off.

    Neither he nor his staff seem to have realised the enormity of what they have done, so they may also be underestimating the degree of anger that people feel towards them, and the depth of sympathy felt in many quarters for the victims and their families. He had better tread very carefully in his fight against them.

    I think it’s important that this story doesn’t disappear or be confined to the court room. A vicious and hateful public smear campaign is an ethical way to respond to these scum, as well as not letting the incriminating details get swept under the carpet.

    Again, well done Droid for getting the truth out. Incredible, the way you’ve handled this story. It’s a textbook example of how to use the internet.

    Happy Holidays to you & your family, Salty!
    Keep on doing what you are doing because you are doing good! I’ve been lurking here a long time and just thought it about time to check in with a comment. I hate to see these d-bags taking advantage of people. To me, their actions are reprehensible not to mention criminal.

    I’m no fan of this Ray person (I never even heard of him).

    But, question for everyone appalled at Ray and company’s reaction to the death of this Colleen person….

    What’s the one thing you are never EVER supposed to do if you get in a car accident–especially if it is your fault? Anyone know? It’s taught in driving schools. It’s taught by parents who have any brains to their kids when they start to drive.

    Apologize.

    You never ever EVER say, “I’m sorry” at the scene. Especially in sue happy America, where everyone sues as a knee jerk reaction.

    Are you really surprised that Ray went ahead as if this woman’s death was completely unrelated to him and his seminar? They weren’t going to do anything whatsoever–as a matter of common sense–that “connected” the two events.

    Slip and fall at a Walmart, and you’ll see just how polished this “we didn’t see nothin’, and it’s got nothing to do with us” response can get.

    Dear Voice of Reason,
    A few other things you should not do at the scene of an accident:

    - abandon the body
    - hide your involvement from authorities
    - wait 8 hours before helping authorities identify the body
    - then tell people the deceased has been found and is “fine” and decided not to return to the group
    - then invite the people to a party
    - call the cell phone of the deceased which you know full well is in your posession and leave messages saying you are looking for her, shortly after you have confirmed her death
    - lie to others about the death and then throw a big party
    - get photographed at the party so everyone can see you are manically overjoyed and not in the slightest bit bothered that your negligence and malevolent actions have led to the death
    - refuse to refund money the victim paid for you to keep her safe
    - continue to draw money from her credit card

    I’m sure I missed a few.

    What you’ve failed to notice is the willful cover up and shocking emotional indifference to Ms Conaway’s death, as depicted in the picture above, and covered elsewhere on this blog.

    Unlike a Walmart customer who slips, Ms Conaway paid Ray an enormous sum of money, essentially for his (and his staff’s) assistance in her personal growth. The took her money, and pretended to take the responsibility, but they were neither competent nor willing to fulfil their commitment.

    I also question your honesty about being “no fan of Ray” and never having heard of him.

    An apology is not an admission of guilt…like my stating…”I’m sorry you are a fool”, does not make me responsible for what you write. BTW, not admitting guilt, is what your insurance company tells you, not what you learn in “driving school”. I have no clue what driving school you went to.

    Furthermore, if an accident is my fault, then it’s my fault. I don’t know what your parents taught you, but my parents taught me to take responsibility for my actions (or in the case of an accident any lack thereof). I don’t hide behind “It wasn’t my fault.”, or the ever loving, “I beeped, but that car in front of me failed to move out of the way”

    Do you also hit cars in parking lots and just take off (I ask that, because how can YOU admit to hitting a parked car and denying liability)? Some prick with your mentality hit my car once (when it was parked) and took off; Was it you?

    The local fishwrap actually comes through for once. Here’s the sweatlodge affidavit and other dox (apparently obtained by court action to get the files unsealed).

    Here’s some photos; the first three or four are most important.

    Thanks Anon. Wow, this stuff is dynamite.

    “It’s a good day to die”? For fucks sake, can he be any more callous?

    Breaking his (Lou Caci) hand was an “amazing experience”?

    Colleen is on the radar scope, that’s great.

    Item #1038, additional victims? Really? Do tell.

    Reading the affidavit only makes me more sorry for the victims. I so want Death-ray to go to jail and become currency. I wonder, can a case for inter-state commerce, hence Federal jurisdiction, be made? I’d love to see Mr. Slicky-slicky and his ho’s head off to Federal “pound them in the ass” prison.

    None of the JRI staff have cooperated. Shocker, but I don’t blame them for invoking their 5th amendment right. I think there’s plenty of evidence to seal their fate.

    Most interesting, Detective Diskin appears to be a pretty sharp cookie. I think he has built the case for negligence very well, linking the current crime with past events where no emergency planning or medical staff was planned for.

    I’m feeling more confident justice may prevail.

    Anyone see this article in the Examiner:
    “Breaking News: James Ray drugged participants and forced snake handling”

    Excerpt: “What are some other features of the Modern Magick retreat, besides the human barbeque (SayWhat’s comment: firewalking gone wrong)? James Ray also drugged participants. I repeat – James Ray drugged participants. Hallucinogenic breathing techniques are one thing, but James Ray goes above and beyond that and actually drugs his victims with some sort of hallucinogenic muscle relaxer.”
