Paddling, when administered in the correct way is not abuse. My folks paddled me when I did wrong...and now, many years later,I understand even better than I did when it took place. I knew, then, too, that I'd done wrong, and did not want to do it again.
As far as the pt question...it's just plain physical exercise. While it may be strenious, it does not go overboard. These are kids...not adults. It's just enough to make them think. In the end, most of the guys like/benefit from the exercise...they want to be "buff" for thier girlfriends when they return home.
The hot stove example was excellent.I guarantee you that the pain we inflict by paddling is less than touching a hot stove...
As I've said before,the only dealing I've had with wwasp was when another school became affiliated with them. From what I've read, they do not need to be open. I do believe that people who have been to those schools could have a very warped perspective on what happens...they seem to think that all schools operate that way. Maybe most do. I don't know. We don't.
He is talking about Respect Camp, Mississippi - Formerly known as Eagle Point Christian Academy and Bethel Boys Academy. The facility is owned by the Fountain family.
Abuse allegations at Fountain-owned programs date back more than 20 years. At present, we have no method of corporal correction....we had a "board of education" (paddle) that was applied to the "seat of education"...but such board was kept by a former instructor.
...
You might get a kick out of this...when we sent the forms out, one of our students was taking to his Dad...and asked if he was going to sign the form. He tried to convince his father not to sign. His dad replied that if he behaved, he wouldn't have to worry.
No, I didn't get a kick out of that.
Gotta agree that parents should be the one to spank...but they don't have the "authority" to do it.
Case in pont...another program....new kid with a very poor attitude...was warned that he would be corrected by spanking. His response...if I was at home, I'd have your *%&^ arrested.
My response...Welcome to MS...now bend over. The licks weren't hard...and that was the last time he had to be corrcted other than just day to day things that all kids do.
Yes I am sinking low here, and personal attacks follow. Not by me, I am just going to quote his own postings that are out in internet land for anyone to find.
Not the first first time, but the first time that really meant a lot.
We were at her house, kissing and fooling around. She took me by the hand and led me into her room...where we foold around some more. She told me she wanted to feel me inside her...we took off each others clothes, and made passionate love the rest of the night.

He is 55 years old. Can we assume he made his user name when he was 51, and added the 69 for kicks? Funny Jimmy, very sexy too. DId I find this post on a forum with middle aged people? A Christian forum? A forum about how to help teens? No. I found this on a forum specifically for teenagers, and all the other posters indicated their age. Not JImmy though, wonder why? (the other posters were from 13-18)
His "favorite forums" on that teenager forum?
Favorite Forums: 1st Teen Dating & Relationships
2nd Deep Thoughts & Random Musings
3rd Teen Sexuality
Location: Mississippi, United States
Relevant why? Because this man works at a Christian ministry, and duplicity and hypocrisy should be exposed, especially child abusers (according to 29 state laws).
How do we know CatMan5169 is Jimmy? He put his real name in his
Myspace profile and a search brought his profile up, with the name CatMan5169. The comments calling him "Mr. Catman" and asking about Magnolia in the same sentence confirm it.
A simple Google of that user name brought up hundreds of his posts from various forums. The content of these threads confirms his identity as well. This is not libel Jimmy, you should be more careful and use different user names for different websites.
I just thought you guys would want to get to know Jimmy. He works at a program called Magnolia Christian Center. Before that he worked at a program that is known to be abusive.
Now he is in the business of conning program survivors into helping him market his program.
Let's welcome Jimmy to the realm of the internet referral business.
"Hi Jimmy!"
