Hey we don't smoke on this topic either, so please put it out. Thanks :rofl:

Just for the record, I still regard my years at the Seed in a very positive Light. I still to this day base my life?s foundation on what I learned during that time. The good friends I met during that time was just the icing on the cake. I will not deny that there were some negative aspects but in my opinion the good outweighed the bad.

Ft. Lauderdale:
All in all, I need to agree. Many important lessons were learned. Many friendships were started and nurtured. I did learn how to fight for my life and I learned how to love and care for my fellow man. I did learn love at the seed. It would of been nice to say I learned it from my family but I did not. I did learn how to love my family and that wasn't an easy task, but I'm glad I did.
I also learned how to juggle (hence Felix juggling)
(That was the only circus act I learned) this was for Greg.[ :grin: [ This Message was edited by: Ft. Lauderdale on 2005-12-07 13:47 ]

with all the self promoting of the seed lifestyle and the avoidance of the cult negativities/elephant in the room, it leads me to be reminded me of this group and specifically, this thread
Magpie:
I can remember after going through the Seed having so much fun with my friends by doing things that were always thought of as "not cool". We use to go bowling, played softball, rode our bikes, went boating, we would play Risk or cards until all hours of the night.
I learned about different religions because I am Catholic and I lived with a Jewish Family--that was interesting. I started having a more normal childhood at 15 and I started caring about my family and myself and my education. I started doing all the things I had missed. And I had a blast. Of course there were mixed emotions but I can tell you that they are no different than what I see my teens going through. I had my first friendships with guys and one of my best friends (who was a guy) taught me about different kinds of music, playing guitar, we would go on bike rides, spend time with our families. I guess if learning to do what I did was because I was in a cult (your opinion Greg), then I would do it all again! I was in a place that helped me grow up and become the wonderful fun loving adult that I am today.
And to that other poster that said don't read it if you don't like it--I don't read it--it's the same ole sh__ over and over again.
