I don't think it's particularly surprising that he's on the list. It's a list of, what? Dead Program kids. He's one.
I was rather surprised when I read his mother's statements to the press and when they set up that foundation to do the same damned thing to other kids.
I've run accross plenty of parents over the years who are as die hard as you are for the Program, even though their grown kids never have fared very well at life and don't phone home much. But I thought that, surely, when the kid actually dies, surely they'd snap out of it, right? Nopw; behold the destructive power of LGA.
That's what it's all about, turning parents solidly against their own children. Fine line of work you've chosen for yourself. :roll:

I have met many people who the programs have helped and maybe I am guilty of closing my eyes to the pain it has brought to others at times.
But it is clear that the opposite is true, also, that people who experienced pain from the programs have a difficult time seeing the benefits brought to others.

Well, you're looking at this from the perspective of a marketer. You've probably met plenty of people who say the Program has helped them. For every one, I can find you at least one who believes just as fervently that the Enquirer's blue dot has helped them or the fortune teller they call w/ their credit card number or, in days gone by, Carter's Little Liver Pills or other patent medicines.
As it turns out, they were all quite wrong. When you look into the clinical studies; the ones that track objective data, not subjective, you see a very different story emerge. The Dept of Justice lists toughlove style treatment under "what doesn't work".
Same for LGAT (your much vaunted seminars). http://www.rickross.com/reference/apolo ... ist23.html Just like fine Bolivian blow, they make you feel just fucking great!, but they're not really good for you at all.
The body of
Benjamin Franklin, printer,
(Like the cover of an old book,
Its contents worn out,
And scripts of it's lettering and gilding)
Lies Here, food for worms!
Yet the work itself shall not be lost,
For it will, as he believed, appear once more
In a new
And more beautiful edition,
Corrected and amended
By it's Author!
Epitaph for himself.
--Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790

Mary was found dead in her car and a note was found in her car. And it said to post her death on myspace. You will be missed Mary u didnt have to give up. You were loved by many and will always be.
These numbers are undeniable. One person on Myspace said it's the third recent suicide from their old group at SCL alone.

Rest in peace, Mary. My heart goes out to anyone who felt too broken to continue. To the friends and family, I am sorry for your loss.

I'm pretty sure I know how this girl felt. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get to know her. I wish I could've made a difference. When did this unfortunate event happen?
