She's taking this a step too far - to get spiritual peace of mind you don't need to hand over most of your dosh, or do things like this. Smells like a get-rich-quick scheme... and these people are being taken for one serious ride.

I want to change my name now too =o everyone call me shazam! And I can ride a cool bike called "willie" and we can save the town!...okay Im trying to lighten up my day with that one, but on a serious note...

I think its neat that shes changing her name, everything else about her always changes, but the name, maybe she'll start acting her age...who knows, maybe next week she'll be wearing a mumu(sp) and throwing cats at passer-by-ers

I'm reminded of that crazy lady on The Simpsons who throws cats at people :laugh

Perhaps with her new name, "Esther" will have a new target audience of people older than 60!

"Everybody do the Grandma! Shake your canes up in the air! Shake 'em like you just don't care!"

:eyebrow

eeek I know that lol I'm sorry if I offended you.. but some names just remind me of old people ^.^** my summer job's at a retirement home and the people there are in their 80s.. so their names are like Ella, Bertha, Dorothea, Viola, etc. etc.

:laugh The Grandma!!!!! Let's throw cats at Esther... :yes

Someone posted this at another forum that's discussing this:

LOL!!! :roflmao :roflmao

Songs will include "Ow! I broke my hip!" , "Where's my pills?" , and "You're driving too fast!", among others :laugh

How about - 'my cats', it'll be how they came to her house to escape the capitalist world :laugh

Oh jesus. You know, if she was a true believer, she wouldn't change her name. No, instead, she'd do something MUCH more basic--maybe stop singing the ocassional naughty songs, being provocative on music videos, and showing cleavage?!?!?!
Yea, ever thought about THAT?!?!
I mean, okay, I might not know exactly what Kabbalism emphasizes, but I can't IMAGE it supporting cleavage.

REALLY?? i wanna faint.
