"Stripe I agree with the Gator-
But I was just thinking about attending Cathloic School from Kindergarten through 9th grade - I had Nuns Priests and Brothers. There was a certain strictness that I also experienced there and at the Seed. The nuns were very controlling and you were definatly limited to certain bathroom times. I recall having to sit up straight looking foward with my hands properly folded on top of the desks. We would march in straight lines 2 even rows boys & girls seperated to and from morning Mass and the same for lunch. Boys and girls played seperatly organized. We had to raise our hands if we had a question. At the water fountain the moniter would count to five and the water fountain time was up. We all even dressed alike. Yes I think this was very controlled but it was for disapline and organization. We were also instructed in the 7th or 9th grade not to masterbate or play with ourselves. I do not think this was a cult.
At the Seed there was alot of discipline and rules and organization. I needed this. No I did not need abuse or belittling. I must admit I was on a couple of occasions treated harshly. Should I call this abuse? I was even yelled at one day for missing a catch at baseball and I was apoligized to the next day for it. I was also loved more & felt it more than anywhere else I had ever been. I needed it desperatly.
I think everyone in a lifetime yells at there spouse kid or even pet and feels guilty about over doing it and yes as human beings no one is perfect. I just think I got a hell of alot out of the whole experience.
I was never in the military but I kind of have an idea of what it was like. I also know about the comradery I felt at the Seed as well. "

the comparison to catholic school is relevent since many at seed were 30, 40, and even 50 years old at that time of my life i did not need anyone to tell me (years after graduating) not only how to sit, but i certainly did not need someone to tell me who to dat and how to date, where i should go, who i should go out with, what career decisions i shuld or should not make, that i was less than some of my peers, simmly becuase some had more money than me . . .and most importantly, in many cases the love was an empty attempt at obigation so you did the "right thing" by someone, so you wouldn't be yelled at than a true unconditional love that love from the heart and not greed.
