hello all, this is brandon w. some of you may remember me. i spent a few years in group a year as a grad and about 1 1/2 on staff. the dates all fail me but i think my incarceration was from '90 to '95 or something like that. i don't think too much about the program anymore. i have moved on with my life and am happy with it the way it is. some of the stories that i hear remind me of the strange reality that we all lived. i was one of the severely brainwashed victims who beleived that the program was good for me and everyone else. i was ejected from the program when my parents pulled my brother. i was willing to stay and would have probably still been with figgy newton and his mindless legions. i thank god that they made me leave. i can remember mrs fig newton telling me that i wouldn't make it without the program, this was after being on jr staff and supposedly having a "program" it was a real shock to hear her say that to me at the time but even when she said it i didn't beleive her. i knew i would be ok and i am. the first few weeks of freedom were very bizzare for me, i felt like (thats right i said felt like) my head was in the clouds. anyhow i could go on and on and probably will at a later time but not now.
i am actually looking for a couple of people that i knew in there so maybe someone can be of some assistance,
pam tr=ver, rob and mike a=very the first to just say hi and the latter two because they are the best friends i have ever had. there are several people whom i hope i never see again due to things that happened after we were out of the program. if you are reading this them you will know who you are and i will take this opportunity to give an anonymous up yours to them. :skull:
