Actually, one kid did explain the subliminals in some detail. That was early on, though, before this turned from a slighly tense discussion into an all out brawl. The kids who were posting then, for the most part, are sitting this part out.
I would be iterested to know a little more about those though. But the kids probably don't have the info I'm looking for. For example, where do the sub tapes come from? Are they commercially available? Who produces them. What's the basis for believing they're therapeutic in any way?
Another question that I asked early on was whether or not the kids were put in authority over one another. That one was answered as well; yes they are. They're tasked w/ monitoring each other and reporting compliance (or not) to Cheryl.
One kid also described having group on her at Lake Powel. Not a whole lot of detail there, but then again I don't know how anyone could describe something like that in full detail w/o violating their own or others' privacy. But I think we got enough info from that description to understand what that's about.
Still don't know exactly what "scripting" is, though. Anybody? What does that mean in the context of Whitmore? Is it something exclusive to Whitmore or part of some line of therapy or religion? How does it work?
We've also gotten an answer to whether or not PURE refers to Whitmore. I know, I know, it's been said many times, but mostly by one person. I don't trust
any stranger that much, no matter how sympathetic I may be to them. But now several different people have confirmed it.
So, putting all this together, we now have a partial, sketchy sort of answer to a question that I've been hammering and yammering on for years now. Exactly what kinds of programs does Sue refer people to, promising that they're better than WWASPS programs?
I would still like to know the answers to some of these other questions. But for anyone who's interested in the substance here, I'd suggest you go back to the earlier conversations. I think you'll find that there's some very good content there and that the kids who are under attack for all sorts of different seedy allegations are really quite credible and compassionate kids.
Deflection only works if you bite. So don't bite, k?
It is the old practice of despots to use a part of the people to keep
the rest in order; and those who have once got an ascendency and possessed themselves of all the resources of the nation, their revenues and offices, have immense means for retaining their advantages.
--Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1798
