"In my experience the cult like aspects of the program are not the ones that effect the child. They don't need to be. Trapped in a situation and entirely at the mercy of their keepers for an undetermined amount of time eventually the kid is going to break so the cult like aspect is unimportant.
The Cult-like activity is much more significant in the program-parent interaction as the program needs to gain and maintain control over the thinking processes of a grown adult who can walk out at any time. Therefore inmho the most cultlike group is WWASPS using the Gilcrease model seminars.

The body of
Benjamin Franklin, printer,
(Like the cover of an old book,
Its contents worn out,
And scripts of it's lettering and gilding)
Lies Here, food for worms!
Yet the work itself shall not be lost,
For it will, as he believed, appear once more
In a new
And more beautiful edition,
Corrected and amended
By it's Author!
Epitaph for himself.
--Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790

CEDU = Charles E. Dederich University
How 'bout them culty apples?
bad sex doesn't make you wake up crying in your sleep years later...
He did tell me the story about being at the program around the same time as Rosanne Barr's daughter. Not sure what that was all about.
Welcome back Castle. Good to see your rotating facial features.
CEDU IS a cult.
that you didn't know it stood for Charles E. Deitrich University is revealing the same way I finally discovered that when I DID finally run away from that hellhole, I should not have tried to go home. Three thousand miles? I should not have tried to get to Spokane. What I should have done is go to the first attorney office that I could waltz into...wouldn't he have been disbarred for not looking into a runaway's complaints? Ah hindsight.
I wish I had figured that out at 14 and not at REDACTED. If only I hadn't been so sure I could trust the police or my own parents.
Castle your post somewhere earlier today made me wince about not even telling your parents anything because it may break their heart- I'm having a dilemma in my writing as per needing to include them, to inform them, and to blame them. It's crisis causing, gut- wrenching, and ulcer squeezing to continue to not be sure if this experience should be told truthfully. Shouldn't it though? I am such a dog for making them re-live these years again. How did you get strong again? These holidays, and these pages I'm working on are making me come unglued. My folks and I will never see things peaceful as long as this is still in my present. I know that, and yet, I'm still here. There.
But not to deviate from your intresting quest to find out the most culti of the crew. CEDU should be considered for the Most honorable mention after Synanon. I think of them like the Sutherlands. You might be familiar with Donald from so many roles. But we all know who Jack Baur is. CEDU.
You two alone are solid proof that CEDU wins the most culty nutso rama prize.
you are both coo coo for cocoa puffs.
This isn't a custody dispute over the trophy is it???
Blown, I swear to god, I am going to bean you with a mallard if you keep using pseudonyms for staff.

Otherwise, spot on, there. :tup:

Sorry, Castle. Just made things a lot easier for myself the way it is. Hope you and your inanimate fowl can forgive. Ok? can we move on now?

MAN: No. As a matter of fact, we're led to believe that we can't make it without the program, which I think is a- one of the greatest disservices that's done to anybody that goes through the program. Because I think many people who leave, who naturally leave and who could be considered successes of the program, basically fail because the message is there: I cannot succeed without these people and without this program.
No but had I gotten a one-year I could have used it as a weapon. it had braided strands. by the time I got my one year there was not anyone sober enough to make me one. also I did not tell them it had been a year. Granted "donkey punch" is not what you might be thinking. Not sure if you meant that in a vulgar way to insult me, but you might want to look that one up.
Moving on now. yes PDAP was early STRAIGHT, INC. We were just more hippieish. but there were inventories after inventories.
Here is the part of the interview that was so true:QuoteMAN: No. As a matter of fact, we're led to believe that we can't make it without the program, which I think is a- one of the greatest disservices that's done to anybody that goes through the program.

Yep, I was told that as I left for college 2000 miles away where there was no PDAP.
My guess is because most discussion about that particular program is probably confined to that site (as discussion about KIDS is mostly confined to their own discussion board). There is a link to that site from here, though, so Ginger (who assembled that page) might know more about Meehan.Ginger designed the page on Meehan that is on http://http://ontheemmis.com/pathway_s_problematic_preachings? I am confused. on this point. Please expound. The points made are correct in what I know about Meehan. Many of us were gay, but had to hide it and ended up dating each other. You can imagine where that went.
