That was before she set up a competitive referral operation.
Here's a thread about the programs to which Sue Scheff / PURE allegedly has referred people:
http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?topic=8061&forum=9My understanding is that those program names came from the WWASP v PURE docket. I don't know of any reason why WWASP would have subpoenaed records from these places except for that they believed that Sue had referred people to them. Of course, they may have been mistaken. So there's your grain of salt to give real weight and meaning to my use of the term "allegedly". I would love it if people would step right up and confirm or refute my assumptions, but I don't hold out much hope.
Among these listed programs is New Horizons Youth Ministries. There's a lot of material out there about that one. Here's a thread I started about 2 years ago:
http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?topic=5305&forum=9And here's one about a book written by Julia Scheeres; Jesus Land.
http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?to ... rt=0#90801I just read it recently. It's a good book. It's not just another telling of a fucked up program. It's a memoir of this woman's childhood and homage to her well loved and dearly departed brother. He didn't die in the program, as I had assumed when I heard about the book; just so there is not misunderstanding followed by adding then removing David's name from various lists and such.
It's a good read and well describes an extremely abusive program. Now, if the allegation is correct that Sue Scheff did (does?) sent(d) kids to this place, I'd still like to have an answer to that one of my most irritating questions; what is the essential difference between WWASP and PURE.
