I am the same anon who posted above:
I want to be as forthcoming as possible and say my post above is a bit extreme....I was wrong to attack the anon above. I shoulodn't have called you a hypocrite, and I shouldn't have said fuck you.
There is a part of me that was also standing up for myself which I would never apologise for.
There are definately better ways of standing up for myself.
So if there is anything else I can do to make this right please let me know.
You know I used to use my name on this thing and that was so horrible anonymous people using my name saying yeah I know you ________, we went to MMS together and then not revealing themselves at all so I have remained anonymous ever since... and I think its less productive.
ANyways I guess my point is that I went to MMS just like everyone who has posted before me! And whether or not I don't agree or just obstain from what some people say, urge and plea as the requirement for memebership here, is crap I think.
Everyone is welcome here, Everyone, and especially anyone who went to MMS. And this is what I think about the brainwashing thing:
As you all read my definaition is a completely different view of this term, and it is a view none the less. No one at MMS told me my religion was wrong, and I needed to accept theres.
What I accepted there was a mirror to many different ways of looking at life.
The way I used the term Brain washing was in the sense that, I just thought one way when I got there, and I hadn't tapped into anything new in a while, and I was pig headed, and stubborn. So when I say my brain neeeded to be washed it did, I did need to let go of everything for a period of time and you know what everything that I let go of that I was scared of losing, that really meant something to me, ended up coming back to me down the road----I am not a Mission Mountain Atom-Atom. I am me......I remember when I brought this idea up in group and said that I didn't want to be this----And I am not even if I am nuetral about my experience there. Its taken time and alot of work to get over my ideas about MMS---and its like this website has been a conclusion to all of that, I don't feel so heated about what happened to me, what I was entitled to and what shouldn't have happened. I have definately felt a lot of compasionf or girls on this website that have had things happened to them, that your really hurting over......and you know what I have had a lot of the same feelings----and again my point
Is that we are all from the same place.....And I don't represent John, or Mike or the "poor deluded soul that just doesn't get it yet" My experience may have been different, but I have had the same feelings and thoughts, SO please don't write me off has the poore deluded souls section, because that is abusive.
