The Final Days
Anonymous:
Greg, do any of your followers have an account of the final days at seed school? What hapened ? How did it close? id they continue to see each other afterwards. Once again, no one, but noe one wants to talkj about the 90's. Can you please ask them to post about what life was like indside seed 90's as we have no information about that. Are there people posting here from the late 90's and even 2000?? Interesting that you have 70's and 80's post, but no one has the courage to post 90's in detail.

Dude, it wasn't a school. But that's OK I see from previous posts you were in some religious group but not the Seed.
OK, no posts from the last days of the Seed. I think this is because in the last days, there were only a few, very committed, long-term members. It's possible that it all ended badly as these things do when people who have been part of a closed society break apart. I'm sure no one wants to talk about it.
It seems that people generally wait about 20 years after they leave the Seed to start talking about it - so maybe in 2020 we'll start hearing from people who were around in the last Seed years.

My followers?
:lol:
There are people that post here that were involved in the seed in the 90s. If they want to comply with your request they will.

I heard about the Seed when I was 7. that was 1975. I wnet into the program when I was 14 then again later because I had a "relapse", basically I had a couple of beers on Friday after and was an alcoholic. I have been directly involved with the Seed for 20 something years, right up to the bitter end when Art lost it and started accusing all the guys of sleeping with Shelly and became viciously paranoid. I know one of the staff memebers took his guns away when he started walking around the house with them. Whatever reason the Seed was started, it became a cult and like most organizations and religions it is hard to say whether it did more good than bad. Many kids got off of drugs and stayed that way hopefully.
Art's personality for control and everyone worshipping him basically let him get to the point where the Seed was a cult. (If you look up the definition it is scary.) If you have good memories, keep them especially if they help you through life. It was very ugly at the end all the staff met with Art and "blasted him", but he and they were too far gone by then. Decisions were made over every aspect of your life by Art and staff if you lived around the Seed. Staff at the end tried to play innocent and , but really they ran the Seed at the end and didn't tell Art most things, he was gone by then. It's a shame, because I know a lot of people who dedicated most of their lives thinking they were doing the right thing only to feel like they were swindled and confused at the end. I definitely would not drink any cool aid offered when the Seed closed.
I just hope i'm not crazy

Thank God! I've heard through the grapevine descrptions of the way things turned out that are very similar to what you say. And I have to say, I honestly thought it would turn out a whole lot worse for you guys.

We're all a little crazy, friend. Don't sweat it. I think the craziest among us are those who refuse to acknowledge it. Check out John Ashcroft's 5 page letter of resignation, hand written so as to ensure security??? Now that's bug all crazy, if you ask me!
When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
