All this anon business is confusing, I know. But I think maybe you have my anon mixed up with another (who can tell)
But as for me, I don't miss the point. I get it and if I understand you correctly, I agree.
I did not know going in, Juice was an item one would be expected to earn. I was lead to believe the kids would be eating a complete diet of well prepared meals cooked by a chef. The complaint of hunger and beans and rice got my attention, I assure you.
The point being, I never intended to send my kid somewhere where he would be kept hungry and have to earn his juice!
I don't think any of the parents do, in the beginning; and by the time they learn of it, if they even believe it, they are already well indoctrinated; and the support of the group helps reinforce the notion earning ones juice is a good thing.
This is my opinion on how it happens and why it is allowed to continue.
I feel this is just another example of how the program twists and exaggerates a common truth to excuse what they are up to.
Its true people, kids included, very often have a overdeveloped sense of entitlement. The 'need' for so many 'things'. The idea it ought to just be theirs if they want it; Its a common problem for society in general. That?s why we have such a huge credit debt and so many bankruptcies. How is it the song put it? 'We seen it on the TV and we want it pretty fast' - something like that. Its a problem.
Anyway, parents are very familiar with it; and I think, the program uses this to justify these conditions; by insisting the kid needs to learn to earn all these things. To a degree, this is often true; but they take it to extremes that no one thinking clearly would agree acceptable. That?s why, in my opinion, they don't tell the parents up front just what all the kid will be expected to earn; Or how long it is likely to take.
And, in my opinion, the reason they keep the lower level kids diet deprived is to help facilitate the brainwashing; for that is what it is, in my opinion.
Call it what you will; but read up on methods of mind control, thought reform, brainwashing; and it'll sound real familiar to anyone who?s been threw the program.
Diet depravation is just part of the process.
Just as is the isolation from family and society.
And the random brutality. It facilitates the needed levels of stress. Its very stressful even if you only see the bruises or hear the screams. Maybe more so than actually being the victim - well, unless it is one of the more extreme episodes. . .
No, anon, I think I get it all right.
