An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Anon, where you in the Seed? If so, when and where?

Thank you.  BTW, you still in touch with anyone from the seed down In Ft Lauderdale?

Is that where you live now?

December of 1973 we had a massive christmas talent contest. We also had one the summer of 1973. Instead of the village people, they did a take off on old do-op type bands, dressed up like Arthur Fonserely characters witht he sleeves rolled up, etc. Also I think we even had a little rock music played, singing, acting, the whole shebang.

No christmas religious stuff tho, there was only one religion openly condoned at the seed... the religion of the seed.

Well, its no surprise you would feel that way. First you rejected everyone you knew before the seed then spent years and years surrounding yourself with them.

Of course they are the people you reflect on and think about, you grew up with them so to speak. This is normal.

Rjfro22, were you on staff?
Do you currently live in Ft Lauderdale?

thanks in advance.

I got a lot out of my divorce as well...mostly knowledge not to repeat my mistakes of the past. I also talk to friends going thru similar hard times and try to help them not make those same mistakes.


For you new guys, somejoker is my administrator handle here. You know me better by GregFL.

That is the reason I started the Seed discussion forum, To get this discussion out into the public arena. For so long, no one would listen, I wouldn´t talk about it, and when I did, no one understood or perhaps even believed me. My story was cloaked in drug use, and you see, to the general public whenever you say treatment they think you are an addict and you needed it. Most of us were not and did not.

what we went thru, how we were forced into a cult (or into "treatment" for those that deny the existence of this elephant in the room), forced to worship a human savior, forced to surrender our identity, kept in isolation and our physical functions monitored with food and sleep severly limited, forced into public confessionals and were told our very minds could be read and used against us, and then the broader story on how this cult influenced current treatment modalities and the drug war in general.

It is an amazing story that has not been told. It has been America´s dirty little secret.

We are telling it now.

People went to the seed from all walks of life. Good people, bad people, mentally ill, mentally strong.

We have people that are police, politicians, and drug addicts and on death row as graduates.  Seedlings were representations of all walks of WHITE SOCIETY.


What seedling weren't is the chosen people,the seed army, or any other such cultic dribble.

FUCK! I had totally forgotten about "home" rap, that insidious torture used to make you feel small and emotional because you had not complied with the cult, to once again use your family as a weapon to beat you with, to break your spirit using the people that you loved, to make you feel isolated and alone, and then to show you a path out of your quandry by just complying and turning over your personality to the group.

Next up...the "oh how I missed my mom's cooking while I was a newcomer" rap, complete with descriptions of the wonderfull meals mom cooked the night the compliant ones got to go home, along with the wonderfull hugs and "I love yous" they got to express to their siblings that had been witheld from them during conditioning.


Fucking facist assholes.
