What makes you think anything offended me? Just making a point. I think the most cruel thing these programs do is to turn families against one another; to supercede normal, vital familial love and acceptance w/ fidelity to the sacred doctrine. Doesn't matter if that mythology is more stepcraft or more newage spirit name stuff. Hell, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see one of these groups develop around something really, really silly like snow boarding as a path to spiritual enlightenment.
This entire project of mine, forums, mainstream media contact, lists, protests, books, art, music, concerts and every other damned thing I ever have or will do in regard to the Program are all themed on the same rediculously simple idea.
Every single high demand cult ever in all of history depends on controlling communications. They cut the inductee off from the world, in many ways even from self (no time to reflect, always on eggshells, etc.) they're cut off from friends and family while the Program devout go about the insidiously sick game of convincing themselves and everyone they contact that the kid who's locked up is a horrible, dangerous person who's not to be fully trusted EVER, but most especially if they diviate from program Dogma in word or deed or even subtle jestures like hairstyle, fashion or taste in music.
I seek to undermine that control and let the chips fall where they may. That's the whole thing. RAMPANT talking out in group is the key to undoing the whole mindfuck.
Now, I would LOVE to hear from Alex, either privately or publicly. But I don't presume any claim to compel him or you or anyone to speak to me at me or about me or not. It's entirely up to him if and how he wants to engage here.
I would imagine the kid's got a whole lot to think about these days. I know I did when I was in similar circumstance. I didn't even KNOW what I thought, I really had to take a good long while and sort myself out. Maybe he's a good deal smarter and more adept than I was. I sure can't say. But I certainly respect the prerogative of the individual to do and say as they see fit.
I do have to throw just one more brick bat, though. Aunt Shelly said " I am here to defend things that have been said about this family. "
Bwoohahahahaha!!! OMFG! Do you have any idea how completely hypocritical a statement that is? My God, woman! Go back and look at some of the fucked up things you and/or your family said about these nice people early on in this thread. And let's assume that it really was just the sibs and cousins spouting off. In what kind of environment does a kid get the idea that that's a proper, decent way to treat their cousin? Fuck! Talk about a kick em while they're down mentality.
You people have NO room to talk about trashing someone's character or family. But then, that's what the entire troubled parent industry is all about; scapegoating kids who are too "disordered" to be compliant little sychophants, eager to support your illusions.
Of course, it doesn't work so good when everybody's got access to all the info and plenty of time to think and check your stories.
:rofl:
There are two kinds of people; those who's lives have been somehow touched by harsh tragedy and those you don't know very well.
