Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Seed Discussion Forum
Dear Art,
Ft. Lauderdale:
Sorry I don't believe I know that brother. Maybe he did say that - what are you really saying? You are still hurt over it? I,m sorry that your family unit was so messed up. I don't know what to say about it. I guess I got lucky. My parents both divorced when I was 24 or 25. My dad went to AA. My mom inherited money from an Aunt. They both were happy. My dad passed away about two years ago. At the funeral Mass the whole church was completely filled mostly with AA folks that he knew throughout the years. Many came up to me and told me what a help he had been to them. I was quite touched by the whole experience. I had never been to one of his meetings, ironically he had never stepped foot into the seed either. I get along great with all of my siblings (one was in the Seed) but has not stepped foot in the seed since she was 17. She is one of my closest friends. She has no ill feelings against the Seed. She is very sucessful
and has a glass of wine every now and then. My one brother that I see the least is a baptist minister :scared: (yep) has eight kids and 4 grand children. (How this happened to a fine catholic family I have no idea) Two are married to Ministers. One is a missionary in China. My other brother is a teacher and the other is a fireman like my father was. We all worked everything out I'm happy to say. In fact my brother sister and myself just bought a boat together. We plan to go skiing soon. I'm very grateful to have my family and count them as a blessing every day. I did have to work at making the family thing work out and so did they. It was worth it.

Alot of lives were helped at the seed. You speak nothing of this. Only that they are cult followers or zombies or ass wipes. I guess its a shame that you never saw the good, there was alot of good to see. I never said I thought the Seed was perfect, far from it. Its principals made me into a human being that I'm proud of. I guess thats what counts in the end.

Well, you guess wrong.
Sorry
Why don't you acknowledge the people who were harmed by the program? I have publicly stated that I think some people were helped, contrary to what you say. I have even named specific people I thought were helped.
Why do you feel the need, 30 something years later, to frame everything in black and white? Why do you mostly attack the messenger and hardly ever have anything of any depth to add to the discussion?
Focus those hyper-critical seedling skills onto yourself once in a while.

Greg was that you?
In answer to your question. I do Greg, believe me I do. Thanks for asking.
GregFL:
And congratulations that the seed didn't rip your family to shreds. It did mine. You shouldn't discount those that this happened to, it is a bad trait.
GregFL:
Somone please, another Dear Art Letter.
I haven't laughed in at least an hour!
