...Or what if we made a production out of it ?? In the style of a Michael Moore documentary. Frank or Rtp, can either of you work a film camera ?? We'll probably need 2 cameramen. One to film the interviews and one to film the one filming the interviews.
Perhaps we could walk into their offices, unannounced, with the cameras runnin' and the mics on, and tell them we are doing a documentary about $tr8 Inc. and are interested in the relationship between DFAF and $tr8 and that we'd like to know more about the history of the relationship between the 2 cults. Any chance Mrs. Sembler is around ?? We'd love to ask her some questions.
We could get some guy to dress up like and impersonate Michael Moore as part of the gig(for some straight faced comic relief). He would accompany us into the DFAF offices to help direct and get the lighting just right and so on. The Michael Moore parody character wouldn't be the main character, but would be like a side kick, like Ed McMahon, like we know Michael Moore, he's our friend, and he's graciously agreed to help us with our low budget amateur documentary about $tr8!
If you are interested in playing the Michael Moore character or can otherwise contribute to the production pm me.
:rofl:
Hey Pirate, been a while.
I like this idea. This would probably be the best way for you to get any answers - answers that you would be able to share with everyone.
Seriously though, what do you think they would say? What would you ask them? What do you want them to say? (I'm not being sarcastic here - these are legit questions) I'm sure in their own twisted way they probably believe the bull shit that they say/said. They probably believe that they were helping us - either that or I just refuse to give up on the human race. I would like to think that people out there really don't intentionally, maliciously hurt kids. If course on the other hand, look at all the child molesters (my father included).
I have my file - probably the only perk of being on staff. I pulled it out about 4 or 5 months ago hoping for an answer to something, though I'm not sure what the question was. I really didn't find anything, at least nothing that would make my stay make any sense. I did find that after I copped out, I was "groomed" to be on staff, as was my mother to being on parent staff. The hand writing that I was able to read (and Tim Kelleher's was one of the worst, right up there with Will Knisley) didn't tell me anything about why I was there. There were writings about the BS issues that I made up such as seeing my druggie friends when on 3rd phase, and the "insecurities" about the 1st outing with BOYS (oooooo). What they wrote about was the same shit that they made us say, you know - the good ole "I feel, About, Because."
I was trying to remember when we (staff) use to have to write the treatment plans. Most of them were simple bull shit. We would listen to what the kids would say in group and write what they said. Here is the problem, here is how the client feels about the problem, this is what the client plans to do to fix the problem. That's it.
I think that you probably hit the nail on the head. It's not really your file that you are looking for, but rather answers as to why they would do this, what did they think that brain washing us was going to accomplish.
I do believe in karma. Think about it this way - they will be depending on us when they are sick and old to take care of them. They will be depending on the social security system to retire, which will be non-existent. So who will take care of them? Us? I don't think so.
