I may be ignorant, but I think this forum is about WWASPS/Teen Help. Why is it that certain individuals keep changing the path? One persons obsession is ruining this board, and it is a shame.

This Forum: "The Teen Help Industry" is described as: Resources for people considering specialty schools, boot camps or wilderness therapy for their kids.
I'm not sure what RESOURCES are here, but my take on it is that it is FOR ANY PROGRAM any SUBJECT related to programs for troubled teens.

Teen Help is WWASPS. It is there marketing arm. If you are right in your assumption, then I am wrong and will admit it, but I understand this forum to be about WWASPS/Teen Help.

Ya'll know that I never had anything to do with WWASP or any other CEDU spin offs. I was in Straight, Inc., which spun off from The Seed which, like CEDU, also spun off from Synanon.
There are minor differences in structure and rhetoric among all of these programs. But one common thread runs through them all. Whenever someone would set up an effective forum and document archive, WWASP (aka WWASPS) would do just what DFAF, Art Barker or Chuck Dederich would do; they'd have their jaberwocks issue a letter of demand and threaten to sue sombody.
Naturally, that can be intimidating as hell for someone who's just been rooked out of some tens of thousands of dollars and mind fucked in the process. So the forums and informational sites kept folding and dissapearing down the memory hole.
So I opened these forums for anyone who has anything to say or learn about any of these totalist cults masquerading as therapy groups. Some come here looking for a fight and they generally get one. Some come looking for old friends. Some come looking for first-hand info. to either refute or confirm what they've been told by friends and family about the strange and mysterious place their loved young person has been disapeared to. Some come looking for advice and documentation for law suits, journalistic projects, documentary efforts or just to get the affirmation that they were not the only one in group who thought the whole thing was entirely fucked up.
It's a resource. We're not offering to beat your children by proxy and we don't recomend any such service. We, the Fornits, only offer a free and open forum for the mutual edification of all voluntary participants. If all ya'll program apologists want to keep showing your ass, please feel free. It provides great entertainment for some of us and also serves as evidence to the unititiated that you guys really and truly are that brainwashed.
An ye harm none, do as thou wilt.
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.
