Where is the next school going to be? Does anybody know?
-
The newest "school" (opened only 3 months ago) is in Pahrump Valley in Nevada. It's called Horizon Academy. There was a thread about it a few weeks ago.
I read something about WWASPS buying an old high school in Wisconsin, but I haven't heard anything about a WWASPS gulag there yet.

I wish they cared about these kids..........they care about the money. If they wanted to make a difference in this world they'd do a complete overhaul of their programs, and toss out out the Tough Love bullshit.

And the Lifespring seminars, which are what makes WWASPS what it is-- a dangerous, abusive cult.

I think that I did something similar to the Lifespring Seminar. It lasted 3 days long, went all day, and involved a lot of crying!!! At the time, it was Bob Litchfield who held it. That was 15 years ago though. He has nothing to do with these days, it's beneath him.

Yeah, that sounds like a seminar. David Gilcrease, a Lifespring trainer, designed them for WWASPS. They're called "Priemer Education" these days, and they're marketed through Gilcrease's company, Resource Realizations. Lifespring has been classified as a cult, and these seminars (as well as many other elements) are what makes WWASPS a cult too.
