Anne, is there a direct connection to Straight and Synanon, or was it coincidence that they called them Raps?

deb.  check out my website for that answer.  under the abuse section i sourced a good page on straight for some of my research.

I think you mean direct connection from Straight to CEDU.  AFAIK Raps were called "games" at Synanon.  I assume the word "rap" came from Straight CEDU staff "cross contamination".  I've never really looked into where the word came from.

here you go
this link here

Yeah there's a direct connection.

Raps seems to be what everybody calls them.  It's an implimentation of Synanon's "Game".

@anne:

Yeah we had raps every day, morning and afternoon.  The workshop i mentioned was a special secret ritual nobody was supposed to talk about.  I don't think anybody every broke that rule (at least not while I was there).  The "vow of secrecy" was far far too strong.

Although most days were about breaking you down, the workshop was about loyalty.  Powerful kool-aid.

@Deb:  I interviewed jayne a week ago.  She confirmed FSW is from CEDU's propheets.  She confirmed Mel Wasserman incorporated est / Lifespring.  She thinks it's wonderful.  She couldn't shut up about how wonderful CEDU was and how many people it saved.  She also confirmed Bmark was designed after CEDU.  She denied CEDU was sued out of existance and blames it's demise on Brown school's mismanagement.  She said "they ran it into the ground".

psy:
WTF.  "Happy Waygookin"?!?!

Why don't you just change it to "Gookie" like Deb keeps calling you (whatever that means).  I think "Gookie" sounds better anyway.

 :rofl:

psy:
i like it.  it suits.  Why not "Darth Gookie"?

Straight got it from the Seed I believe.  GregFL has been looking for a direct link between Synanon and Seed for a long time.  I don't think he's found one but it's obvious.  

It's weird.  I remember being a kid in the 70s and hearing my parents talk about EST or something like it.  Damn hippies or something like that.
