///Parents are "invited" to attend the seminars after they enroll their child. The kid goes through a tougher version of the same seminars at the facility in which they are incarcerated. Seminars are the core of the program. You can't progress and move up the levels unless you complete them. It is in the seminars that people are changed from normal, thinking human beings to newspeak-spouting WWASPies.

The seminars are based on the LGAT model, and they are basically the same as EST, Landmark, etc.///


Yeah - what she said. . .

The seminars are something discussed prior to enrolling a teen - but not in any kind of detail.
Exactly what takes place is never discussed.
You begin to get an idea of what an ordeal it is going to be, only after the teen is enrolled, and you get a copy of the rules.
Also, if one is active on the BBS, they can get an idea of the basic nature of the ordeal - but again - no details. Its all a big secret - but the overwhelming message is how great they are. How life changing. (let us remember, life change is not always a good thing)
The first seminar is required. If you want to visit your kid, anyway. You must attend Discovery to attend the parent child weekends.
I can hardly believe I went for this crap now! But at the time, it seemed to make sense - I can't explain it.
But I can say, once I got a load of the seminar rules I began to baulk. I didn't want any part of what I was beginning to understand them to be.
As to your question - Yes, the parents will have their kids at one of the wwasps programs by the time they attend the seminar. Depending on which one it is - maybe just for a month or two - or maybe for a year or more. There are a series of them, and naturally if it is second or third of them, the kid will have been in longer than if it is the first.
And yes - for the teens, the seminars, all of them, are required to graduate.
All the program is really, is a place to warehouse the teens while they are put through the seminars. The treatment of the "students" is designed to condition them to be more receptive to the purpose of the seminars. Its all about the seminars.
