Personally, I can't understand why anyone wants to yell at another person who went through the Seed, no matter what your experience there was.

I understand it very well. For most of my childhood, people who spoke fondly of The Seed were dangerous to my wellbeing. And I had to pretend to love The Seed as much as anyone. It made me ill.
To me, hearing someone talk about how wonderful The Seed was is about like a Jew listening to someone go all nostalgic about the glory days of the Third Reich. Glad you had fun, folks, but I really wasn't having such a good time.
Innocence implies the ability to restrain from the initiation of aggression, and to question those who don't.

Antigen,
To compare the Seed to the
hologaust is beyond my believe, do you not understanfd the horror the jews have suffered.
I have never heard anyone form the hologaust talk about how it saved thier lives. I do unstand you had problems being at the Seed, but many of us got the message and got on with our lives. i am sure you did not mean it to that extreme, I hope .....
Besides I am not a Seed lifer, I am just grateful and have good memories of what it did for me and it was'nt always easy.

Ginger, I don't know you but I understand the cloud that you lived under as a sibling of seed kids.. Because my siblings were in the program for about 2 years before I was, there was always the threat of my going onto the program if I screwed up. I went to open meetings for 2 years every Friday. My friends became distant from me for fear that if I went into the seed, that I would rat them out, which of course, I did once I entered the program.
I remember my friends were not allowed to come over to my house because my olders siblings used drugs and had pretty bad reps. That was before the seed. Then, once they went in, my friends still couldn't come over to my house because we were involved with the seed. The program totally comsumed my life and my families life from the time I was 13 years old. But then again, so did the drugs and the trouble that goes along with it consume our lives before the seed. So which is worse? I know my parents were just trying to do the right thing and they were pretty much at their wits end. They put me on the front row cuz they thought I was next. I might have done the same thing if I were them and were looking for help. What they didn't know was that the seed would alienate us kids from them and cause a much wider communication gap. Remember parents rap??
Anyway, just thoughts. And yea, I did go into the St. Pete seed.

Antigen,
Did your family live in Melrose park in the 70's?
I really liked your family. Although I did not know them well. I think If I'm remembering correctly you were a really cute little girl at the open meetings. Sorry you still feel the same . What I don't understand is your family probably hasn't been involved in over 30 yrs. Maybe I missed some posts. Why is this still so upsetting to you?

Scout, maybe we know each other if you went to the St Pete Seed. Email me at rocky93@tampabay.rr.com.
Look foward to hearing from you.
And for those that dont understand how Ginger feels, it is because you walked in different shoes and processed your time in the Seed Cult differently than she did.
Simple as that.
