PTSD : POST TRAUMATIC SEED DISORDER

<< < (10/13) > >>

GregFL:
I may be one of the few people who ever really got to tell Art off to his face.  There is a thread here somewhere called my showdown at poolside.

It really was a important thing for me to do, kind of empowered me, but I came real close to physically hitting him.  That was many years ago and I am a much different, much less angry  person. I would love to chat up the old guy now and pick his mind. Hell, I would even buy him dinner and pick up the tab just for the right to ask him some questions...  What motivated him, where did he get some of his wackier ideas like boxing rings, "motivating", and the synanon style come down on your raps?.  What new york treatment facility had he been involved with?

These questions bug the shit out of me...

AA, its a simple as that- synonon had nothing to do with it-I can tell from your past postings you really believe that but there is no truth to it-

Where do you get your information?

GregFL:
Unfortunately you are incorrect.

AA never forced its member to sit in chairs 12 hours a day and never rewarded family affection for progression.

aa never restricted food intake as a therapy

aa never used sleep deprivation to weaken one for conditioning.

aa never requires you to stop talking to outsiders.

aa never "breaks" its member and then rebuilds it in the image of the group.

aa never required worship of the leader

aa never refused to let you read a book or call your family

aa members arent required to Motivate and sit straight, eyes to the front and  their backs not touching the chairs or face punishment.

aa never did many things that were considered part of "treatment" in the seed.

It is anything but "as simple as that", anon. I am well aware that many techniques..the steps, serenity prayer, confessionals, etc. came from AA, and  that Art continues even to this day to chant this mantra, that it all came from AA, but that is obviously totally falicious.

Tell us why you think you can make such a conclusionary statement with such certainty, Anon, and if you are new here..

 welcome to this forum..
