GregFL:
Well, unlike you Robin my parents at the direction of st Pete Staff went on an active campaign to enroll all my friends. their parents were invited over and we had to come in the room and give our "drug list" and then admit to doing drugs with their kids.  

Keep in mind that I was 14 about to go into high school, and that these were the kids in my neighborhood.  

Integrity?  Hell, there was no choice in the matter...


Hey Robin...lookie here...real exchange going on!

I "ratted out" my old girlfriend and got her into the Seed.
At the time I looked at it like I got her started on drugs maybe I could help her get off them. I think thats exactly what I told her parents too.
She did thank me a year later.
Shes moved on.  I have not seen her in 30 years.
I don't hear her wining on this site.

I wouldn't be quoting her then if I were you. Have you considered the possability that she was kissing your ass, telling you what you needed to hear so you wouldn't report her and get her started over?

Umm...well, after my brother got me to go in, I tried to get me old friends to also. Consequently, I lost them. The Seed called them my "old druggie friends," but some of them would have been life-long friends I now believe. Most are successful, interesting people. Only one became a stone-cold druggie, went to prison, etc.

Most damaging, I didn't talk to my own sister for seven years, except to tell her what a fuck up she was.

So I see this as abusive.

Robin, the movie Thirteen is very instructive. I hit some low points but perhaps not that dramatic. However, the Seed did not give me the tools I use today. For instance, honesty. The Seed allowed only partial, 'acceptable' honesty and I think that is a problem. Perhaps it was not that way for you, but you left on your own. I stuck around.

Antigen,
Please.  Yes this was long after she graduated her program.  She no longer even went to the seed any longer.  You may hate the seed, but everyone does not look at things the way you do.

I resent even having to explain that.

Please Don't tell me who I should or shouldn't quote.
