Questions for John Mercer
katfish:
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?

I don't even fucking like John, in fact I hate him. I don't talk to any staff at the school and haven't in years. I don't care about what John, Colleen or anyone else there thinks of me now. I don't want any "bravos" from anyone, and if I need to "lighten up" so do all of you crying about someone having a different opinion than you. You clearly didn't read what I had to say because I made it clear I don't care to defend the school and I certainly don't care if I am or am not included in the "MMS Alumi" signature. My point is if someone is going to just be blatantly rude and make fun of someone atleast make it known who you are. I have no problems with saying anything to anyone, and I'm not scared of that person knowing who I am. This is really getting pathetic. You all know if this was real life you wouldn't be saying these things because you are clearly cowards. Just because you can hide behind a computer screen you decide you can get all big and put everyone down. This doesn't apply to everyone clearly, as anyone who has anything honest and legitimate to say I fully support. Sorry if you're offended that I'm being "rude", but so are many other people. I'm sorry if I'm not going to just jump on the bandwagon of talking badly about those who had a good experience. In the end, even though I had a bad experience at MMS I would rather remain on the side of those who say what they have to say and don't try to hide behind anything. I'd rather associate with people with backbone and integrity than pathetic cowards and I don't care if they like MMS or not. Say what you want but I stand by everything I just said and nothing is going to change that. Initially it was nice to talk to other girls from MMS and hear what people had to say but this has become something totally different now, and I don't have time for this childishness. Either do something or don't, but don't just keep whining about it.
Melissa Gower.

This is silly, but-
Sarah F, you pointing out what you pointed out was like saying the sky is blue- just to ruffle feathers and way out of line.
Melissa G, um, relax? and yes, lighten up. don't even understand what your problem is.
I am personally not intolerant of people that got something good or had an overall good experience at MMS. It is the girls that are unreasonable that annoy me. been talking to several former MMSers with good experiences- but they are reasonable. As far as I'm concerned no reasonable person can walk away from MMS and say all was ok- it simply was not and that's very much real. Too many stories, too many stories to pretend anymore and continue with the charade. The covers been blown. Even girls who thought MMS was good for them with whom I've spoken with agree there were messed up things about it. I have the utmost respect for those ladies and even understand- I was challenged phsycally in way I never would have been and for that I am grateful...
And the cowardly thing- way low. Low blow- you're very mean. I suspect those you call cowardly would not choose to have you in their life either.
For the record, I don't see any girl willing to take a stand as a coward. the forum is not the place where taking a stand and where revealing your identity will do the most benefit. They'll get there and face their fear, MG- sounds like theres a pretty good amount of clarity about the situation here. The forum is for whining and apparently for being mean and fighting too- nothing is really going to change through this- maybe a few parents will think twice about MMS, but real change happens outside of here. It's what's happening now and I am guessing no where around you, MG- meaning you're not a part of it.

i'm confused melissa didnt say that the school was ok, she said she had a bad experience and she said that what she said didn't apply to those being honest and stuff. she was saying that she is annoyed by the unreasonable people too just the people on the other side of the coin. you guys both seem angry about the same thing and both probably need to lighten up.
