Anonymous:
Some of us have a loved one who is either an alumni or currently there. We want to find out all that we can so that we are better able to help our girls when they come home. This forum is a means for them to communicate with others who have had similar experiences, whether good or bad. Let's face it, anyone removed from the real world for such a long time, during their most formative years, is going to need help adjusting to life without MMS. Those who come out with a favorable impression can relate to those with the same memories, those who come out damaged can relate to their "sisters" who are still having nightmares after a decade. There really can be no bad outcome for this free exchange of infomation.

Don't you wash your clothes on a regular basis? My Brian needed to be washed!!!! And I clear my faulty thinking on a regular basis, I do my best to rid my head of thinking I know much at all so I can be open to knew things and remian teahable. I do myself a favor and get rid of stuff that doesn't work for me.
Brain washing is not a bad idea! I think that term has all sorts of fear induced paranioa attached to it.... And if anyone learned anything from living life, itleast if your like me I think a lot.... to much sometimes, and even obsessively.....
Washing my brain is a positive thing! And there is a positive outcome to what your all pointing at and calling brainwashing. I mean what do you think this site is all about. This site with all of your thoughts combined it is somewhat of a brain washing process as well. So thats all I have to say about that right now.

Meriam Webster
Main Entry: brain·wash·ing
Pronunciation: 'brAn-"wo-shi[ng], -"wä-
Function: noun
Etymology: translation of Chinese (Beijing) xinao
1 : a forcible indoctrination to induce someone to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas
Brain washing has nothing to do with ridding your head of fauly thinking. And for MMS to forcibley remove 'faulty' thinking requires no thinking on the students part- to think implies analysis, freedom of choice and open dialogue, none of which existed at MMS- that's my point. MMS did not help us realize faulty thinking, it was forced and false.
I know, i know, but it helped you- and that's good- although I don't know that I agree with any girls agruement for the school as it is. Saying, 'but it saved me' does not say anything and is not useful in analyzing what did't work. There are better ways and I find that way unacceptable ( to say the least).MMS in no way promotes the kind of free thinking that I value most and is valued in academia. Our mind is the only thing that differenciates us from other species- that consiousness of self...MMS did not promote that connection, but inhibited it. That disturbs me greatly.

Whatever the damage, I'm sure they'll be far better off for having your love and understanding. Don't be skeerd. :wink:

Well my definition of brianwashing---is a bit different then what you all came up with. And since you read it you can see my definition is not at all like yours, but it is a different way of looking at the term, maybe itleast you see my side and agree with parts of it or none at all. I hope I got my point across to someone &.....
I am not a poor deluded soul....how could you make such a presumptious satement....
I AM A WOMAN AND EXCUSE ME HAVE WE FUCKING MET? MY SOUL IS ABUNDANT, AND MY LOVE IN ENDLESS, EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS OR TRY TO FORCE THEIR PERCEPTIONS ON SOMEONE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW SO, FUCK YOU, AND BACK OFF BECAUSE EVIDENTLY YOUR JUST AS LOST AS THE NEXT BOZO ON THE BUS. AND TALK ABOUT HYPOCRITES WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING BRAIN WASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO SO JUST BACK OFF A BIT BECAUSE I EARNED MY SPOT ON THIS WEBSITE TOO.....LETS ALL TRY TO SUCCEED STUPIDITY SHALL WE.
so I would really appreciate it if people thought a little harder, before they post anything, because everything you say is having some kind of an affect on someone. So now I just read that thoughtless insult right before bed.
Thanks- to the ones who use there brains, and improve them on a daily basis, and remain teachable.
goodnight
