I'm going to try to keep this short but sweet, so I dont ruffle feathers.
For those that were helped, I am glad.
Tolerating idiotic rules is a important skill, but it doesnt mean they should be merely accepted or that they're beneficial.
Restricting communication about some subjects, or restricting communication TOTALLY has and can be used to make people feel controled, and helpless. Was it in your situation, Perrigaud? I dont know, I'm no expert. I wont make that determination.
Furthermore, why can't they talk about "drugs sex suicide and such"? Those might be why they WENT there? It seems like its the program trying to bury certain parts of life, TO ME. All WWASPS has to say about drugs sex and suicide (as far as I know from here and other websites) is 'dont do it'. For some people that might work, for people who arent like that, it probably wont. Et tu, Perrigaud? :wink:
And, finally, While these seminars might have been good for you two, for PLENTY of other people, its torture. Yet again, the only analogy I can think of is how different people react to being the submissive in a BDSM scene. Only those psychologically predisposed to enjoy it will enjoy it, and those psychologically predisposed to freak out and suffer would hate it. I'm sure there is also a middle-ground that would just be really bored. Some people feel SAFE when tied up! I'm a claustrophobe so I cant even tolerate elevators!
Thats basically all I gotta say for now, except my voicemail isnt working. Leave PM please.
say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile.
