OIC! Ok, all but your username, password and email address are optional. Truthfullness in the email address is also optional (depending on how much you trust my intention and ability to protect your privacy or just not bug you)
ICQ, AIM, Yahoo Messenger and MSN are all chat clients. If you have handles for these and you want forum viewers to have them, then fill them in. Same w/ the website. Any favorite website will do.
Thanks for the question. This is going in the FAQ.
I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religion than it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

That process you describe sounds a whole lot like some of the role playing we had to do sometimes. If the skit wasn't focused on somebody to begin w/, it was usually a set up. Staff would have a few kids do the skit then we'd have a rap on it. You'd just never know when you got called on if you'd be allowed to deliver your lines and have a seat or if it was an ambush. The last thing in the world you wanted to hear while relating in any rap was staff asking "Who has something to say to [state your name]". That was the cue. Even if nobody in group had any clue what to confront you for, even if you had no idea yourself how you'd done anything wrong related in any way to what you were talking about. You'd start scurrying around your head, searching for anything and trying to slap together a compelling defense or confession or any damned thing. Same thing was going on in the minds of those not currently on the hot seat; what to say, is this a setup (they want me to confront _____ about image so they can turn it around on me, I know it!)
No wonder most of us fell for it to some extent. Who has time to think critically when you're constantly in fight or flight mode?
That's the whole damned secret. If you're cold hearted enough, you can train a dog to do damned near anything in exactly the same way. Keep them hungry and nervous all the time, and they'll do anything to make you be nice and believe they're lucky. You just can't ever trust a dog trained that way. If they get happy, they get cockey and you lose control.
I don't know how the 7th step society compares to WWASP's aftercare, having never 7th stepped. But I'm sure there are plenty of ppl around here who could fill us in on that.
This is really getting good, don't you think? If anybody's out there compiling and anthology, here's some jucy meat.
Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Here grow the wallflower and the violet. The squirrel will come and sit upon your knee, the logcock will wake you in the morning. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill. Of all the upness accessible to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains.

Thanks for the info. ill try it and if I do something wrong Ill ask for more help.
I remember my cousin, the one I told you about that I searched his room and found paraphanalia and told his parents, wrote me in the program and told me he thought I was being brainwahsed. He said one of the cues he had was the high sodium/fatty foods we were eating. He told me eating too much of that can make your brain lazy and more ceceptable to brainwashing. know if thats true?
They did ambush people in processes. YOu might think it was about someone else and then the story plays out to be you and oyu get confronted abd stuff. I think that particular process was the "turning point" for me. Thats when I really fell hard for the program mentality. Thats when I became one of those judgemental, rule nazi bastards I hated so much and do still. I wonder if the fact that I was abused by my step mom as a kid had anything to do with how I didnt feel abused. Maybe that stuff just was normal for me or something. I was used to getting yelled at and called names and called manipulative and such. The funny thing about it is I was too afraid of her to bring up the abuse ever in the program. Everytime I would even sort of bring it up, I was being manipulative or I was wrong. Fear can mkae anyone into an obidient person. She actually told me once that raising kids is like training a dog. You have to make them fear you and let them know you are the "alpha male". (Sadly that is an actual quote.) But I need the program right? :roll:
So yeah what do you think of that after care shit? Did you have anything similar to it at Straight? Can you believe they actually think that that would help a kid get back into the swing of being out side the rigid structure of the program? Amazing they get away wiht it...
