CEDU / Brown Schools and derivatives / clones / RMA 'student' 1985-86
« on: April 17, 2005, 11:50:00 AM »
When I got out of RMA I started doing a lot of acid...I don't think reality was an option for me. I quit after about a year, and spent most of the next 4 years on the street. I did isolate myself in a lot of ways. I still do I guess. I stay inside most of the time, and spend more time with my computer than anything else. I did run into one student at the cafe/club I was managing in 1990. He was the same as I had remembered, but that is the only person from RMA that I have seen or heard of since I got out. Have you thought about getting in touch with anyone? I have, but I haven't really tried to. I don't want to post names on here, you know?

CEDU / Brown Schools and derivatives / clones / fags

you know, every time I look at the name of this thread I think it is faqs not fags. I would hate to think that people these days (particularly people that survived RMA, CEDU, etc.) would be beyond such hateful word slinging. Wishful thinking, I guess.

I only remember that one rap I think because I blocked a lot of my time there out. Plus it was almost 20 years ago. I remember only a very small part of one propheet...where you walked around and everyone had to call each other the names we were called in school. I forget the rest of what happened.

Perhaps long-term memory loss isn't such a bad thing.

The only rap I really remember was directed at me, courtesy of Caroline. I got caught with a boy that I liked and spent the next rap being accused of being a slut, whore, etc. People were leaning forward on the edges of their chairs screaming at me. I just wanted to die.

Wow, you're writing a book on it? Very cool. How long were you there? I managed to weasel my way out after 7 months...maybe 6 or 8. I can't remember anymore. I don't think it was winter yet when I arrived, but I know I was there for my 17th birthday in May of 86. A lot of that stuff remains in a fog for me.

Forgive my original post here...Caroline humiliated me numerous times and I guess I let it get to me too much. I haven't thought about any of this for a really long time, and apparently I still have some unresolved issues.[ This Message was edited by: vortexwx on 2005-04-10 14:58 ]

This is really weird. I was standing on the back porch this morning and I started thinking about when I was at RMA, (which is frequent, even after all these years) and for some reason I decided to search online for info about it. I never thought I would find a forum with so many former 'students'. That place really screwed me up. I had a lot of bad experiences there. I also learned a lot of cool stuff. I think that is the main reason I still have issues with the place. The 'counselors' were creepy, the glazed zombie look that the kids who had been there over a year had was creepy, the profeets and groups were traumatic, but I like knowing how to fall trees, split logs, and build canoes and log cabins. It is a mindf*** in a very big way.  

Wow. This is bringing up a lot of bad feelings. I had no idea how much that place affected me, even after almost 20 years.
I am glad it closed.
