SES Forums

Personally I'm not convinced that any pupils were shown particular favouritism on the basis of their parents' identity or status. At least, if there was favouritism, it would be hard to discern any particular pattern to it. As far as I could tell, the only way of avoiding the attention of Debenham a...

For anyone keen to get hold of a copy of this book, there are several copies available on Amazon.com - specifically here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/ ... 39-9519628

I am very concerned, reading this board, that David Lacey is in nearly daily contact with my son. Should I be concerned? I've not had any contact with Lacey for 20 years but I would be very concerned if my children were in his 'care'. Click on 'Search' at the top of the screen and enter 'Lacey' (al...

I'm not sure if you meant this literally, but have you seen the posts from Barrington Barber and David Hipshon a few pages back?

Katharine, even though you are opting out of discussion on this forum I am sure you will continue to follow the debate. I believe all but a couple of participants believe you have been acting in good faith. I also assume your offer of face-to-face discussion with concerned parents is a continuing on...

Nonanon, you see things in very black and white, for-us-or-against-us terms. You are not doing the cause any service by insulting Katharine, or David Boddy for that matter. You are just deterring them and others from joining in a debate that has been extremely effective so far in bringing our cause ...

OK, I'll see if I can find any simple tweaks for you :) In the meantime, here's another possible target for termination: the new "Breaking from Abuse" thread. Given the subject matter it's open to interpretation, but I regard it as spam because the web page referred to is largely just a solicitation...

I imagine people's motivations vary, I can only speak for myself, and of course the desire for vengeance is there. Part of me would love it if it were possible for those that humiliated, terrified and bullied me as a child to feel some of what I felt, however it's not possible as they are adults. M...

Mike, I haven't actually noticed much spam recently. Maybe you have been deleting it before I see it. There was one post recently on p.22 of the 'Experiences at St James...' thread that you deleted, and I notice that members 51, 52, 53 and 55 on the member list http://www.whyaretheydead.net/phpBB2/m...

Parent, I am somewhat surprised you didn't know about the connection between St James and the SES, but then again they don't exactly advertise the link to prospective parents. You should be aware that the purpose of St James is to bring kids up with the same beliefs and values as the SES. It is not ...

I must admit that out of all this I find the attitude of current pupils the most scary! I wouldn't be 100% sure it's their fault. Remember when Secret Cult came out? Debenham called the whole senior school together to tell us how the school was under attack and we must unite to fight the evil menac...

I will not be posting my experinces on the site - they are being saved for the enquiry (or the court room if the enquiry proves to be a whitewash). Thanks anon, it's good to know I'm not alone, and it's fine if you don't want to post your experiences here, at this stage it may be better to save the...

Help. Aliens have abducted our website. http://www.stjamesschools.co.uk still looks exactly the same to me. :) Please note everyone that A Different Guest has kindly started a thread to continue TB's discussion. No doubt you need to have followed their debate more closely than I did to understand h...

MY entire class, last year, got an e-mail about this forum ... In our view the school you went to was a different one to the one we go to now. Hi current pupil, I am sure all of us who went to St James or St Vedast in the bad old days are happy that it is different today. You will find that it is o...

Well said both Guest and Antises. TB, I haven't bothered reading any of your self-indulgent treastises on life, the universe and everything since they started on page one of this thread. The discussion began with an important message from the current headmaster of St James about an inquiry which cou...
