I tried to post a comment there about how pathway is thought to be an abusive cult. i posted links to isac, news reports, respectable organizations' accounts of ir's systematic cultic torture.

oddly enough, five days later, my comment is not up. i am too scared to give my real name and email. perhaps that's why they didn't post my comment? (doubt it)


but could some of you PLEASE try to post corrective comments to the misleading propaganda this publication supplies.

thank you

My advice is to stop fighting with the media. Become the media.  If you Google pathway family center you'll see that there are several sites critical of PFC now.  That's progress.  You can help (perhaps submit your story to one of those sites if you haven't already).  Who cares what the newspapers print so long as the truth is a Google search away (though it always can help to educate them).  If you can take away a certain percentage of a program's business, they close.  You don't have to convince every parent, just enough to reach a threshold where staying in business becomes unprofitable.  Once that point is reached.... well this is what happened with Alldredge Academy (ayne institute)... in the owner's own words:

Quote
"So, why is Alldredge closing? First, for many varied reasons (and with no one at fault), we have been unable to consistently maintain an adequate number of students in the program. It simply isn’t feasible to operate at census levels 40-50% below “plan” indefinitely."

That's an old article and the press is all on pfc's side, so good luck with comments telling the truth. It used to be that the media would report both sides to a story, but nowadays it's just not happening. The press is blatantly deceiving the public about pfc. I did notice the Porter Co. sheriff not on the pfc site so much anymore, LOL. Maybe it's a website glitch or maybe he actually has second thoughts now since all the CADC exposure and all that jazz. Oh well, I've tried emailing and calling the reporters directly and even that doesn't work. Time to start the "Program Radio Show" or "Program TV Hour" or something... Good idea, make our own damn media outlet.
