Who here has anger problems?

And by this, I mean problems with anger itself, problems getting angry, problems addressing those who have angered you, etc.? This is long the lines of the emotional surpression that most of us have experienced, but it goes deeper than that for me. For a long time, I couldn't get angry. I'd cry! The...

I PM'd Keir with profuse thanks, so don't nobody think I'm ungrateful for this wonderful reply! You are right about most of it. I've talked to my best friend, who also was in the SES (her dad still is) and left about two years before I did. And I've also talked to my dad and my husband about it. In ...

Thanks for the link, Snowman. I have spent a LOT of time on this site, and still have yet to read all of the posts. I liked the reference to the tactics and would add that McLaren also certainly read TACTIC 5 Create a sense of powerlessness by subjecting the person to intense and frequent actions an...

In other words, people from the SES have started a school just like St. James but are hiding any connection with the SES?

It has the same sort of curriculum?

Is it near the current schools or in a new city?

Boston school "coup"

I was curious so I looked around the internet. The NYC school has removed the information about Boston from their website but it's still on the other's. And from the main SES website, "These Schools, whilst working with a common aim and direction, are all legally autonomous." which means that Dr. Le...

I was a 1:1 assistant for a child with disabilities in a Waldorf school this past semester, and they always sang that as part of the birthday ...

Advice for writing to my mother?

Hi everyone, For those of who who were involved in the SES as a child, can you give me some advice? I've talked to my mother some about how growing up in the SoPP affected me, and I also wrote her a letter about it, attaching a lot of pages printed out from Mike G's website about the SES. She left t...

ADG - Most weren't always rich. Some were well-off before and have amassed more since being in the SES. I don't think that being in the SES has anything to do with their being wealthy. They would have gotten rich even if they weren't members. But although the SES does attract many types of people fo...

Re: reply to FT

Foot in mouth is it ? -- Just one last reply then . "Innappropriate for a woman" - isn't it obvious? Do women or females engage in "pissing contests"? How ? I didn't ever compete in a "pissing contest " myself but do accept that physiologically at least it is possible for males . Would it be OK for...

Most of the people I know in the SoPP who are rich are Senior members, and thus have been members of the school for many years. Most have made their money while in the school, although most certainly didn't start out poor.

Re: thanks for link Mike

ADG's description of the reality of barbaric behaviour as a "pissing contest" is both crude and unworthy and anyhow innappropriate for a woman "...inappropriate for a women" ? http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/rolleye/rolleye0005.gif Ross your posts are starting to sound a tad SESish http://www....

:lol: "It's not like that now or anymore" is what my mother always said to defend the SoPP after I left. I'm glad to hear about Dr. Lehmann "defecting" because I always liked him and felt like the people in Boston were a little saner than in NY. Lambie is (in my best Monty Python voice) and "utter t...

As I just PM'd Gandalf, did you know that the residence in Wallkill is having a huge wing added to the building? This must be costing a fortune.

All I can say is that many (most, I dare say) of the Senior group members are VERY rich. They must give a lot of money to the SoPP.
