John, please explain your qualifications for dealing with troubled teens?

What kind of training have you received that would qualify you to bring back repressed memories?

Why did you push addictions on girls who were not addicts?

How do you suppose intimidation 24hours day 7 days week) is better form of therapy than love and care?

How do you justify having girls work on the school, building fences, wood chopping, shovleling shit, etc  at a school for that's for profit and that you directly benefit from?

How do you explain the lack of quality education?  Several girls taught themselves subjects like algebra, functions, etc... And the lack of study of the outside world?

How do you explain tactics of humiliation and pain as beneficial, carrying rocks on back (each metaphor for issue- causing physical damage), wearing sign to humiliate, pointing out things, for instance, a child may be wearing an outfit that's not age apporpriate and forcing that child to wear something for the purpose of humiliating them into behaving as you wish them to- how does this emotional break down work in phsychological terms and how is this beneficial?
How do you suppose coercive tactics such as these create a well-adjusted being?
What studies have been done?

Please explain nightmares some girls have about not being allowed to leave to school after 10 years.

How is it beneficial (other than mind control) to have girls think that if they had not been sent to MMS they would have died? How is this in any way accutrate?  (you know, tranquility bay does the same thing)

Why did you have to smirk and act like such a narcassitic jerk if your intention was to help?

What kind of benifits come from girls desperately seeking your approval (aside from stroking your ego)?

Why did Gary seem to disapprove of you and Mike Finn's form of therapy?

What were Mike Finns qualifications?



anything else anyone want to add?  I plan on sending these questions to john and posting his response, let's see what he has to say... Would be nice to have an answer.

I don't think I have anything to add, but I would also really appreciate answers to these questions.  Honest answers.  Do you think he'll really reply?  I hope so.  Maybe if we all try to get ahold of him, maybe he'll make some sort of a statement about the whole thing.  The more I'm reading this stuff, the more I'm tending to agree that some of the stuff he did was not appropriate at all, and I'd also like to hear his reasons for his actions at MMS.

I have a question: why would doing your yard work bring us together as a community?

I would like to know how being forced to believe in  what MMS preaches translates into real change if their is no real freedom of choice or free will involved?  
It's set up so it seems like their is 'personal responsibility' taken, but in reality their is no personal choice or responsibility- like you can always run away ( if you overcome your fear of being out in the middle of the woods and sacrifice your families love and are told you will greet certain death).  

So, again, how does on take personal responsibility when their is no real accountability in the program (with the staff)?

I would like to know why we're all still afraid/intimidated by you and Colleen?  And how that's healthy?
