Love-Bombing?

how does this connect to seed? at seed love was unconditional.


"The opposite of love-bombing is unconditional love. Love-bombing is highly conditional.

The cults will love you to death while you represent a prospective convert to their group. As a member a tight family love will surround you as you faithfully promote their cause.

However, when it is clear that a prospect will not join the group or a member voices doubts, create waves, or leaves the group, all love ceases.

Indeed scorn is immediately heaped on these individuals and remaining members are told not to have any contact with them.

All time, effort and love-bombing is then directed towards new prospects and the faithful members"

sorry, dont see connection between above quote and seed life. Does anyone see the connection?

A few years back, I ran into a couple of Seedlings at a doughnut shop in Tamarac. I could tell they were Seedlings because of their Seed tshirts and identical, pageboy type haircuts.

So I said hi, told them my name and that my family had been involved in The Seed some years ago and asked them to say hi to Art for me. They looked at eachother, said not a word, grabbed their couple of dozen doughnuts and ran, visibly shaken, back to their car. I wonder if they anguished over whether or not to report themselves for talking to a split?

Unconditional love? Never in my experience. You were either in good standing or you were personna nongrata.

Dont' understand how love bombing took place at seed. Please explain if you saw how love-bombing actually was used at seed. it was more like real friendships with very close bonds. . .

cleveland:
Anyone who left the seed was a sort of a non-person...rarely spoken about, except maybe to say, what an asshole, I can't believe they left...

This may have changed in recent years but in general, if you were an 'outsider' (and someone who left was certainly and outsider) you were considered to be a druggie or to have a druggie attitude at the very least and you, as a seedling, weren't supposed to associate with them. Am I wrong? After 8 years, I left in the dead of night and did anyone ever try and contact me? Nope. Did I contact them? No - I could guess what I would be told - that I was an asshole for leaving.

What's more conditional than that?

(It may be that Art and others kept a place in their heart for me and others who left, but I didn't know that. People who left were considered to have chosen non-existance.)
