In Springfield circa April 1987 (Ironically close to April fools day) there was a night rap (Saturday night I think) where exec staff member Dave Hubbard led a rap and asked the group "Who here is aware that Str8 is being sued?" A few folks raised their hands...
Then Dave said that the court had decided to shut Str8 down and that we would not be coming back to the building the next day...or any day...
I was just off front row at the time and was extremely extatic...I was going home! MY two week nightmare was over!
People began to share about how scared they were that there was not going to be any more Str8... Jack GuthrAg3 was on 5th phase and I remember him crying...
A bunch of other folks shared in that rap about how scared that they were...everyone around me was crying... I was also cryin like a baby (happy tears). I cannot ever recall feeling so relieved about anything in my entire life!
Then after about 45 minutes of pure bliss...that F'Head Dave Hubbard dropped the bomb...
Stra8 was NOT closing :scared: They were sharing about how relieved they were that Dave Hubbard had lied to us...
Argh!!!!! It was horrible!!!!!

Sounds fuckin' sick. Even as i read the post i thought you were gonna tell me about what it was like to be there as the place(that particular program) closed. i wanted to see that so bad myse'f. Then i remembered the title and my hopes were crushed. That is some fucked up shit.
-
I totally forgot about this! I was thinking, cool, I'm outa here...I'm gonna eat this and that and sleep in my own bed and play my guitar, alas, no.
Then I got all paranoid that I didn't want to cry when I heard it was closing. :eek:

In retro, Noodle, how many of your fellow captives do you think were probably acting cause they knew it was probably a trick?
I give money for church organs in the hope the organ music will distract the congregation's attention from the rest of the service.

It was hard for me to say...I was so new (two weeks) and I was just so relieved...
I DO recall it being very weird that some people were crying and UPSET that Str8 was closing... I was thinking these people are crazy...
Looking back I think that it is weird that no one who shared seemed happy...maybe the folks who were happy just kept it to themselves because they were so brainwashed that they felt guilty for being happy...or maybe they realized that it was a trick... I don't know...but there were definitely a lot of folks who seemed upset that it was closing...almost everyone who got called on was crying...
That said, I also recall a lot of folks (oldcomers included) who reported themselves the next day for being secretly happy that it was closing...

Yes Antigen
I suspect alot of those that had been around new something wasn't right with the rap topic and would reserve overt jubilance until they were outside looking at a closed building.
I bet that staffer had a good laugh to himself that night.

Musta been the day my jeans were in the wash. That was back in the good old days when we were all puppies, just learning how to behave. I learned how to put my hand out in front so a fifth phaser coulda see me, anda take me to the potty. Boo hoo. Nobody saw me. I had a axxident.

There was one chick in particular that ignored us when we put our hands up. It didn't even matter if we did the emergency hand gesture behind our chairs either. Ever notice the program super assholes never post so we can tell them about theirselves?

Not that one, but there is one in particular on several people's shit lists and that person refuses to post because of it.

I'll let my friend decide on this one. I have a soft spot for that person's family and all so I can't bring myself to do that.

I liked that one too, but decided to change for awhile. Someone else had picked out the other one because I was clueless as how to get one. :wink:
Now that I'm looking at this one I look to damn cheery. Happy go lucky people have always bugged me.

You know, the Kool-Aide is what killed the cult followers, not what made them follow.

Nope, it was the poison put into the kool aid at the direction of the guru and fully known to all the faithful. Even that wasn't enough. It was their willingness to drink the poison that killed them. Well, that or their parents' willingness to pour it down their throats.

Even smart people want (need) to be accepted and loved...a cult often takes care of this function...

Vulnerability, I believe that Vulnerability makes one suseptable to brainwashing.....If a person or child is brainwashed.......they had a spot for the cults to get in b/c cults like to prey on people that have some sort of desperate need to be fulfilled......ie, parents, kids, relatives. My parents in particular were vulnerable to it b/c they had a failing marriage and a teen that they did not understand or could not understand at the time, and professionals and friends at the time told them that the program would help all. As for me, I was vulnerable because I had an unhappy family life due to the "failing marriage" and abuse suffered by me at my fathers hands.
I do not believe that these are the only factors that makes one suseptable to mind control techniques though, as these are only a few examples.

I bet you a whole bunch of folks were waaay happier than they appeared to be when they thought the building was really going to close. They just had nothing to gain by acting happy. It (if it were actually happening) would have been a win-win situation for an upper phaser...they could pretend like they were upset...for their families and stuff...and could secretly be extatic...there was nothing to gain by rubbing it in staff's face...at least if you were an upper phaser...
I think that the misbehaviors were probably just too happy to even react...

Point taken. Wasn't it arsenic? But yes, they commited suicide.

Now that you mentioned it I remember that night. I'd been there a couple of months at that point. I remember thinking this is good, then started to smell a rat. Damn mind games.

I've posted this somewhere before, but I don't have the eyeball power to go looking for it again.
We were told one day that we only had maybe an hour to live because Cuba had launched missiles at us. We were then to "relate" about how we would have lived our lives differently since we would never see our families again.
Business as usual: Psycho-sadistic garbage. ::kma::

All the "Raps" in general were designed that way. i.e.: Tell us your deepest secrets, which will lead to vulnerability, and we'll attack that soft spot.
I don't think I even want to go into the "Girl's Raps" ... suffice to say, the sicker the confession, the faster the progress.
