Apologia - Serious debate only, please!

Oh, and one question. I've heard that parents and students are often required, as part of their 'therapy' or seminar, to write letters like these. Anyone w/ firsthand experience able to confirm or refute that?

Success comes to those who are willing to make changes and work hard. Any one can be a critic, but it takes work, positive attitude to change. Be all you can be. :tup:

I resent you advertising your program on this forum with that lengthy list of testimonials. It wasn't enough to post a link? If Scott, Tracey, Debbie, Joe, and the rest want to come here and share their stories, that's one thing. It's quiet another for an anon poster to put that up. This thread was for serious discussion and debate, not an invitation to advertise and recruit for an organization under the guise of discussion.

I'd like to see a poll on this one.
1) Leave the link. Delete the testimonials.
2) Delete the link and testimonials.

The successfull positive parents work on building bridges seeking to help other improve. I have seen many parents that have experinced success come to these boards, why do they not hang out here? They don't want to waste their time, they would rather build and enjoy more success, they would focus their energies on past broken relatinships and seek to restore, they do not hang out in blameville or gloomtown, they pro-active parents and teens who are seeking to do more. They know the same people will be here or another forum with the same issues years from now. These successfull people do not focus on the negative or complain about missed opertunites they look at the next opertunity and take advantage.

Cheers.   :grin:  :grin:

The reason I posted the magazine article link (I'm not the anon that posted testimonials) is that there is NO way to post a seminar experience.  The only way to know is to go yourself.  The information on each seminar is posted on the program website.  I wonder how many could actually see it for what it is: personal growth, not brainwashing.  You seem to think that the "program" is responsible for a person's change...WRONG.  Each person is responsibile for change, or not.  

Someone posted on losing a current identity as wrong.  That's pretty surfacy stuff.  No one will change their core, but change is a part of life.  Are you saying change is a bad thing?  What does that tell your children about change? No one is going to change unless they are truly open to it.  I've known people in my workplace that couldn't stand computers when they came in, now they barely remember what it was like before that..just a surfacy comparison.

Oprah rocks! If she started a "program" for kids, it would mirror wwasp...for sure.  That's an awesome thought!
