So, in reading the post from Antigen regarding legal action for defamation - I have some observations.
Karen - I was on the BBS when you were on there. You were kicked off around Thanksgiving last year for your attacks on Mormons. Up until that time you were very PRO WWASP. I really wonder if you are not going to be held responsible in some way for your attacks disguised as experience. You're up to the same crap here.
Deborah and Antigen - you have NO experience personally of WWASPS. Both of you had a bad experience of your individual programs and are basing your statements on those, not wwasps. It's based on what you choose to believe.
Spots - your gripe has always been with your daughter and her new husband. Casa By The Sea was your excuse. You began to believe your granddaughter was being abused. Would you ever publically admit she wasn't, or are you going to do everything you can to twist what she tells you into a lawsuit? You're on a mission - hope it bites you in your horse's ass. :wink:
Jeff, Lee, Anon Purists - the wwasp vs pure court document says all I ever want to know. As does your website. Helping? Who...You?
Carey had a different experience. I won't go into her issues with her ex. She didn't agree with the restraints - and neither do I if they were used in the wrong way. Don't know, wasn't there, but I would never support that either. She has since seen the "agenda" of those that cry beatings, etc. She was burned, not by wwasps, but by others.
Ryan - a HERO? Is he going to share the monetary rewards from his movie participation with you - I'd believe the movie "Thirteen" WAY more than anything Hollywood comes up with regarding his stay at Casa.
Melissa - I see your issues are more with your parents, not Spring Creek. You were emotionally hurt, but I really REALLY don't see this being about Spring Creek. They, too, may be your excuse for what your parents wanted to give you. I know Adam Wolfe's mother personally, and there is a lot of pain, however she was so proud of her young man and there is no "dirt" to dig up. I know for you it has to be hard to know he's gone. It was not his choice to drink the drugs that took his life. Out of respect, please drop it.
For those of you that choose to believe the stories in the newspapers, that's okay. I know way too much more that was left out or twisted. I will say that nothing is perfect, people aren't perfect. Call us a "cult" if you wish. We're just parents like most of you. We were/are in a breakdown situation and did what our communities, State or health organizations were not equipped to handle. Jail was an alternative - but not for me. My son deserved more. He deserved more than me just letting him self-destruct and "hope" that he didn't kill himself in the learning process or worse.
No, he's no longer there. It's been a couple of years since he came home. He thanks me for believing in him, believing in our family and never giving up. Will his "tune" change in the years to come? Who knows. What's important is right NOW. We changed our futures and it wasn't from drinking Kool-Aid!
