A former WWASPS employee? Looks like he's into his own "vengeance" with a vengeance! What an ugly way to live. Sounds like he was fired, just a guess, though.

In the above thread someone said he was a close friend of someone at WWASPS. If so, why doesn't he refer to any of the WWASPS schools? WHY?? because they wouldn't pay him to do so. That's why he and all other educational consultants don't, and then lie about why they don't refer to them.

Jesus warned of those who would come in His name, but not be of Him. It is wise to check out the schools before sending kids there. However, one must keep in mind, that just because there are those who use the Lord's name for ill-gotten gain, there are those who use the Lord's name for righteousness. There are very good schools that are Christian based and that do strive to emulate Jesus Christ.
Matthew 24:11 "and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."
Mark 13:21-23 "At that tiime if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ? or, 'Look, there he is?' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect - if that were possible. So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time."
II Peter 2:1-3 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destrucive heresies, even denying the soverign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up.
It is unhelpful to stereotype all of these places for troubled teens as being bad. Yes, there are abuses that take place. The people who do the abusing should be executed. No problem.
There are those, however, that do help the teens without being abusive and without restraints.
Just because you wouldn't put your child there, doesn't make it wrong for everyone. It may be wrong to you, but that doesn't make it wrong.
While there are those who may feel that putting one's child in such a program, there are those who feel that not getting help is abuse.
There is no shame in admitting help is needed. There is shame in needing help and being too arrogant to get it.
Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool seems right to hikm, but a wise man listens to advice.
Proverbs 14:6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.

What do the above bible verses have to do with people "using" Christian based to bring in kids for their own profit? This whole concept of Christian based is a mask in many troubled teen programs. If the owner wasn't an internet spammer in the worst sense, then he might have some credibility. I'm shocked in a sense that there are SO MANY sites he is associated with that are misleading parents in crisis.
Everyone has a right to believe in something greater than themselves, if that's the right verbage. But, that doesn't mean these owners are greater than anyone, except in internet sites!

They have private time to read the bible or study guide the parents supply. They have no visiting pastor and as far as spiritual writing, they are NOT allowed to have any writing journal you may send to your child.
