events occured at spring creek lodge academy in thompson falls, montana
Thankfully i was one of the kids who wouldnt fully participate in the later seminars but one still got me to some extent,(keep in mind parents also had to go to these seminars but outside the facility which also convinced them that the school (with hefty tuition of $37,000 for the year i was imprisoned... )was nesscessary or their kid will be a failure in all areas of life.... ) I was insulted by the trainer trying to make me feel like less of a person for not willingingly going along with it "not being real, being surfacey not going deep into my emotions" and was kicked out. i was forced to atleast GO to the seminars, and i would purposely get myself kicked out every time,(every 2 months it rolled around again) because i knew something wasent right after going through the first seminar Orientation and half assing that seminar, i was able to see that the adult"trainers" had too much control over our minds when the guided imagery exercises came and got very personal. You would be told to tell a random person in the room your deepest darkest secret, only to later have it rubbed in your face. Forced to stay up for long periods. Trainer-kids(who had been through all the seminars were required to staff) would insult other kids with program terms such as "In my experiance you are being fake and going out for acceptance", "In my experiance you are taking this as a big joke, and being immature" "based on results you have exactly what you intend", "what you fear you create" you would wait your turn to stand up and one by one they would tear you apart with terms like these, and if you say anything back you get yelled at for "rebutteling". Program terms are drilled into your head when broken down mentally, emotionally and physically I even got in trouble a few times for speaking out against the seminars. Discovery is the name of the seminar i repeatadly "chose out" of within the first hour and other staff at the facility seemed to look down on me for repeatadly doing it thinking of it as immature. There are other seminars in the series, Focus, PC#(parent and child visit+seminar 1,2,3)and Keys to Success. I think i did not fully escape the mind control, the year at this place CHANGED me and not for the better, life has a dull quality to it now and i have to smoke weed to feel sub-normal again. Even outside the seminars there were still mind control tactics, . "emotional growth" tapes played at every meal. this was Spring the groups that lived in each cabin were called "familys" with names such as Excell, Unity, Respect, Dignity, Wisdom, Courage and the staff watching over each known as the "family father". i would post the papers from the seminars, but with a large grin I BURNED the whole seminar binder when i got out of the hell hole. how do i unprogram myself????????????
and if interested in the school itself
also the B&W pic of kids marching in sync in the first link was actually my family (unity) and that lady next to the pic is VERY programized, i hated her with a bloody passion
