"Art and Shelly and a couple of staff members were its real downfall. Art's money-happy and he is power-happy".
Jean Rose, mother of a seed staff member, on the closing of the St Pete Seed to the St Pete times, 10/75. Mrs. Rose said everything was donated to the Seed, her son only made $65 dollars every two weeks as a staff member, and the Seed was "demanding money on the line".

"The whole trick is to make you feel like the lowest scum of the Earth. I knew it was wrong. I wanted to stand up there and tell them they were all full of it but I didn't know my court order was phony".
Archie Mcrimmon, former seed employee, describing the "come down on you therapy", remembered that Seedlings were forced to stand up in front of the whole group of Seedlings and listen to hours of abuse and also reflecting that he stayed there because he was told he was court ordered, which later turned out to be phony.

"being dead was about the best thing I could think of. I thought about how peaceful I'll be. There won't be no more Seed. I can't stand this anymore."
a 16 year old girl, whom had only smoked pot prior to being admitted to The Seed, speaking to Margaret Leonard, times staff writer. The girl had attempted to slash her wrists in the Seed bathroom by hiding a razor in her pants. She broke off the plastic part and cut half her wrist. Her oldcomer was standing outside the stall. Her attempt only cut thru the first layer of skin. The staff told her...
"Don't tell your parents. You know you just did it for attention and your mom's gone thru enough. You don't need to hurt her anymore."
The girl ran from the Seed and lived in the woods near her mother's house for a week, unable to trust her mother enough to go home, fearing she would be placed back in the Seed.
Once she got home, her mother reported to the paper, "It was a mistake." The Girl reported to the paper that she was still confused and found it hard to trust people.

"what is meant by backbiting, or critizing behind one's back? Some comrades have something to say about other comrades, but they never speak out openly. They always TALK BEHIND ONE'S BACK...then this can be called critisizing behind one's back, which is prohibited by the Party."
From a captured communist Chinese document, as reported in the book "Brainwashing in Red China, the Calculated Destruction of Men's minds."
Seed Rules
NO TALKING BEHIND ANYONES BACK.
