What is it about these guys that they're so insecure that they need some wannabe guru to get nekkid with and run around chanting in order to "reclaim their masculinity"? My gawd. And people are always talking about girls having "daddy issues". Sounds like these guys have some serious "mommy issues". :rofl:

In the past, the Mankind Project and New Warrior Training Adventure have been blessed by the recommendations of various NARTH (http://http://www.narth.com/) leaders. More specifically, some folk have thought that MKP could be a useful tool in reparative therapy.

I believe this was intended for insight and maybe testimony. I am sorry it has incited so much rancor amongst the few.
-
I don't have rancor toward the list of virtues. I mean the list itself is a good life code for all.
It's just that I have been in programs that have perversely twisted Wise Words to suit their own propaganda.

Really? Since you've seen fit to quote that post, once again, for the fourth time, in what was then a seven-post thread... I'd suggest that "inciting rancor" might, in fact, be amongst your goals here. :D

Sounds just like Hyde School. Of course, "Brother's Keeper" at Hyde is just another euphemism for snitchin' and narcin' and holding your "brother" accountable for alleged sins and character flaws. That is, Hyde's take on "Positive Peer Culture."
Despite the avowed motivating factor of "Concern" (one of the "Five Words"), it has, in the past, descended into community-wide witch hunts, bullying and stalking with just short of mortal consequences. Perhaps, in some cases, there was no "just short of."

The Brothers Keeper propheet
Lugs: Part of the ice breaker in the Brother's Keeper propheet. A student is required to come up with a short performance that makes fun of themselves, and act it out for the entire peer group. This is done repeatedly, since every time a new member of the peer group comes up with and performs their "lug", all of the previous students who have already come up with theirs have to do it again. (Similar structure to the "12 days of Christmas" song.) It could also simply mean the act of a staff member imitating you and making fun of how you behave.
The Circle: An exercise in the brother's keeper propheet. Two students are singled out from the rest of the peer group. These students are normally the omegas of the group, (i.e. the bottom of the pecking order) and as such, command the least respect. The rest of the peer group is instructed to close ranks and form a circle, with everyone facing inside and linking arms. The two ostracized students are then required to try to break into the circle any way they can, while the rest of the peer group has to try to keep them from getting inside. The purpose was to provide a metaphor for 1. How you keep people on the outside every day. and
2. How you keep yourself on the outside every day.
Turning your back: An exercise from the brother's keeper. Students are paired up and take turns turning their back on each other.
Pushing away An exercise from the brother's keeper. Students are paired up and take turns shoving each other. The exercise was supposed to signify how you push people away every day.

All this means is to love and care for your brother. This is not a LGAT/Propheet. If it takes performing a Propheet or LGAT to love and care for your brother, well I hope you succeed.

There was an exercise that was used in wilderness where they blindfolded the parent and the son or daughter had to direct the parent through an obstacle course.
Did the child want their parent to succeed or fail? lol It was an interesting dynamic and exercise.
The parent needed to trust the child and give in and allow the child to have control. This was a big step for many parents. The child liked it because they got to control some very controlling parents for a change.

It's interesting how certain themes, phrases and/or catchwords run through different programs in similar, yet still somewhat different, ways...

heretik: it wasn't done tongue in cheek or even hilariously. It was coupled with barrages of humilations, badgering, and screaming.

Taking association to even cheesier (yet surprisingly appropriate) pastures, this image comes from a blog post entitled Nacho Libre: Spam Magnet (http://http://www.hung-truong.com/blog/2009/02/22/nacho-libre-spam-magnet/):

I am not sure where everyone is taking this posting. What I would suggest is just accept the post as it was intended and stop analyzing the beJesus out of it. Sigh.....

I really don't think Nacho Libre is analyzing the hell out of anything. Lighten up, dude.

In an earlier blog post, Nacho Libre: Movie Review (http://http://www.hung-truong.com/blog/2008/05/13/nacho-libre-movie-review/), which was apparently beset by so much spam commentary that it necessitated the closing of the comments in addition to being the inspiration for the explanatory second post linked to above (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=31454&p=384750#p384690) (which appears to have been also beset by so much spam that it necessitated the closing of those comments as well), Hung Truong ends his review with the following observation:
"...the movie was a "Nickelodeon" production, which explained the lack of cruder humor and the abundance of fart noises."[/list]
Probably too many nachos for even Nacho Man...

I do apologize if my duplicity in posting has offended you but by no means is their a alternative motive here. I am knew to this posting thing here.
I did read over my posts and I cracked up a bit, I could see what you were referring to. :)
I hope as you get to know me your comments in red above will have proved to be unnecessary.
I felt this was a great post and a commitment for men to see. The post was meant to be inspiring.
