I was in LIFE from Jan 25, 1988 until December 31, 1989.  When were you there?

I was in Life from Jan 1989 til Apirl 1990.

I remember staff members like Yvonne, Melissa, Holley, and and upcoming staffer, Stacey. I can't remember any of the guy's names.

I remember a few girls, like Mandy, Becky, and Monet.

My name is Holly, and I lived in Tampa at the time, and I would love to talk to anyone from LIFE.

Only rarely.

The sadist cannot stand the separation of the public and the private; nor can he grant to others the mystery of their personality, the validity of their inner self...in order for him to feel his maximum power, he wants the world to be peopled with concrete manipulatable objects...
-- ERNEST BECKER, The Structure of Evil, 1968.

Some LIFErs have posted a few times... it just kind of died out.

Maybe there weren't enough of us compared to straight - who knows.  Doesn't mean it wasn't the same shit descended from the same sellers.


I say we should organize. We need to.  What is going to end the fanatacism?

On the other hand - why do we dredge up old wounds?  What good does it do?  Apparently it all began with the fight against the first synanons and how far did that get?  Yes, a few people who suffered the most egregious abuses were awarded money - but they can't take those abuses away or get their childhoods back.

We lost part of our lives.  But do we spend the rest of our lives focused on tearing down "those people" or do we move on?  Does moving on mean we accept it?

(My one liner turned into a rant - maybe more of us lifers do need to post more!)

Me - personally - I'm sitting on this fence, and it sure is uncomfortable.  ::soapbox::

END RANT

Well, if the people who brought us the Program had just given up the cause when their own kids were grown, I'd be right there with ya'. Who cares about things that happened 20 years ago. Sure, it damaged or helped to show pre-existing damage to my family. But I'm grown now and have my own family and friends.

I'm in it for one reason and one reason only. Straight Inc. expanded, reorganized and now operates PACs, government subsidized non-profits and actually writes laws that tend to get passed under the names Drug Free America Foundation and Drug Policy Network of the Americas. Every time a school district contracts DARE to indoctrinate their 6th graders, Betty Sembler gets a little further on her agenda.

I think that if more people just understood what these people are and what kind of sadism underlies their fell good "Just Say No" bullshit, we wouldn't have them writing public policy and blank checks on the public treasury.

After all, who wouldn't prefer Middle Earth, unless they've been corrupted by a Ring of Power?

I went through my phases with some of the staff that was listed.  I was on even staff for awhile but I chalk that up to being a kid that just didn't know better.  I had thought it was the right thing to do and didn't have the experience to know just how wrong this program was on so many different levels.  While I still have friends that I went through the phases with and I cherish them completely,I would rather have never lost two years of my life like that.

wow........Yvonne, Mandy - I went through my phases with Mandy....well - one of the times anyway.  I was in LIFE from the end of 85 - till when I turned 18 in 1988.....hearing some of the staffs names was strange.  I am from West Palm Beach and recently drove to Sarasota....took a ride to the "building" I actually have some digital camera pics of it (if interested I'll e-mail them to you.)  Could almost hear the singing when I walked up to the building.....Its now some kind of furniture store...It was closed when I was there...kinda glad though.....didnt wanna really go in.  I've read over some of the postings in the L.I.F.E. / Growing together Forum...and I guess I'm a bit disapointed.  I asked for LIFE/Growing togther to be added as a Forum/Topic so maybe some ex lifers could talk...or whatever.  Looks like its basically a debate column of which place treated people worse..."anonymous" rantings on how great the program was blah blah blah.....who cares.  It effected us however - emotionally - phyically blah blah blah......so IF you dont care for what is being shared here then move the hell on.....I'm not even THAT BORED to entertain myself with arguing some mute point.....but really,,,,can you say that sitting on wooden church pughs 10 &1/2 hours a day, motivating, I myself was sent to "time out" in a 6 x 6 room for 5 days.  And yes I was denied bathroom privledges...wore the same clothes for days- had 104 fever and just kept in the "clinic" with hardly an aspiren....told I was a piece of shit and this is why Ive lost ALL privledges in life...such as walking around,,,not having to ASK to pick things up "can I stand up" " Can I brush my hair"  having to sleep in the same bed with some freak wacking off......and these are just a few memories..but hey IF that didnt effect you at all and you feel it was a positive time in your life then GOOD FOR YOU!....maybe you were the freak in the room w/ me.  (oh and by the way....cracking on my spelling / grammatical errors wont bother me) but you can waste your time if you want....

There are not enough LIFE people to make any money for Wes Fager,so we have all taken a back seat to the Straight people and their endless whining on his website.
