Plumb and square and etc
« on: October 06, 2004, 03:16:00 PM »
Ha! i found my portfolio today and i read it and i saw in all my restrictions the words Plumb and Square haha! what the fuck i never understood how the based everything around those two stupid words! The restriction says i have to keep myself  and area plumb and square (dish crews, dorm space, and work crew.) I was on bans from smiling, laughing, singing, humming, drawing, doodling, tagging,and i had to eat at least two meals with staff. Just to let everyone know i never had an eating disorder so that one really made no sense.  Just want to open it up for discussion so everyone could share their story.

I did have an eating disorder. Thing was, I was anorexic, not bulimic, but I was constantly being accused of throwing up. Someone was throwing up, just not me. Whatever. But they really didn't have a clue there.

Damn Vicki!  I remember when everyone thought that was you throwing up in the bathrooms. They gave you so much shit for that.  I'm sorry you had to go through that.  Then, when the person who was doing it copped, we were all shocked!!  It was an older student remember her (not naming names)?  One of my good friends there, and she was on a table when I graduated so I couldn't even really say goodbye.

No one ever told me someone copped to it! No one ever told anyone in my peer group or those below me! Everyone believed it was me until the day I graduated! Now that you say it though I can probably guess who it was. Ran into her a couple of times after cedu around the valley here (San Fernando Valley). ARGH.
That's part of cedu's thing- they don't care who did it as long as someone is an easy target. Lets make an example out of the easiest person to pin stuff on. Such mindgames for everyone. When I tell people about the stuff that went on there they don't believe me. They think I'm making it up. Then those who do know about cedu and their methods can't believe I'm alive to talk about it. I try not to dwell in it, but this PTSD crap really lives on.

Can you describe a CEDU portfolio? Sounds a lot like a Seed moral inventory.

There are a bunch of moral inventories posted to The Seed forum. These were mandatory after about the third day. Good little graduates were supposed to keep doing them even after graduation. I even know some people who did for awhile. Newcomer MIs were read by their oldcomer and anyone's MI could be read by their parents and/or staff.

Anyone care to write up a comparison?

What was done with the seed saved from the India Hemp last summer? It ought, all of it, to have been sewn again; that not only a stock of seed sufficient for my own purposes might have been raised, but to have disseminated the seed to others; as it is more valuable than the common Hemp.

When I was at CEDU, we had portfolios and had to chart our "progress" and justify our admission into the next phase.  The phases were: Vision, Quest, Challenge, New Horizons and Source.  The latter two phases were the upper levels of Ceduified bullshit artists.

The Portfolios contained writing assignments, journals, wilderness experiences (assignments)and other glorifications of CEDU with all that it "teaches" you.  You were to shed the skin of your past and adopt the cloak of cultist values.   To do that, you had to write about what worthless scum you were prior to the CEDU experience and how you are seeing the light or whatever.

But we didn't have to sing Zippity Do Da and Kumbaya like you Straightlings did... Just endless rotations of Neil Diamond ("Turn on Your HIghlight") and Whitney Houston's "I Believe the CHildren Are the Future."  The Police were allowed once a week.

Vicki, the person who copped, her first name started with an "S" and she was from Michigan, but had family in CA I think.  No, they would never admit they had wronged you, but you were wronged and if anything- I know it.  I'm sorry you had to go through all of that.

That's just sad that someone finally copped to it. I'm over what happened to me now in terms of the throwing up stuff- now it's just an even funnier story. Even more representative of the mindgames from that miserable place.

I can really believe some of the other stuff people are talking about. It's representative of cedu. Again, why are we all surprised at these stories?[ This Message was edited by: vvigil on 2004-10-07 07:51 ]

Holy shit, Blown. That just fries my ass and that is exactly why I hate those phony witch hunters.  I hope your parents now know what you went through and feel some sense of horror about it all.  

These are the kinds of stories that make me feel that the perps should be confronted by the adults we now are... to be faced with the bullshit they perpetrated on minors who could not defend themselves.  

I'm sorry you went through it... There is nothing worse than being accused of something you didn't do and then facing the consequences for it. I hope the guy who made these allegations feels like absolute cow dung. Did the truth ever come out?

I want to respond better to above post, but I really didn't understand the question.
Can you repeat it a tad more clearly?
