I know what the government uses their little black box for
...hmm...I wonder...
So Chuck, if a person thinks that the Institute using shock therapy is, umm unethical, to say the least, will send them to hell? Interesting worldview. Perhaps the Intitute needs some genuine critiquing and purifying, not people defending Mr. G's every whim.
Chuk, get a life...outside of ATI.

When you live in a closed homogeneous society, you tend to create the truth, not discover it.
I doubt it Chuk. You are chained to your ship by your denial of truth. I doubt you know who you are without Gothard telling you. Sad. Very sad.
I think you like to come to this blog and post because its a power trip for you. Gives you a sense of control in a lifestyle which otherwise does not afford it.
Its a shame really. You seem like you like to talk. Might just put that favorite past time to some kind of constructive use instead of leaving mindless posts.
Before you start to feel sorry for yourself and the need to defend your 'holiness', save yourself and us the headache.
Unless its something new and interesting and substantial dont bother.
We have heard it all before and laughed each time.
Smart enough to walk away from things Mr Gothard shares that are a sometimes a little other worldly,

Chuck funny you should mention that Satan loves us. Might check out my blog for a comparison of IBLP to the Cult of Apollo. Maybe, we should be saying that to you instead of the other way around.

Waaay back in my 'tute days, I had to type the phrase "Basic Seminar" a lot. Lazy as I am, I programmed the computer so everytime I typed "BS" it changed to "Basic Seminar." Fitting, don't you think?
I would like to comment on this matter. I was in Mr. Gothard’s office in September of 2004 and we were discussing the direction for the Basic seminar when I noticed this black box with electrodes on his desk (and yes, it is UL listed). I asked him what it was and he explained to me the “Healthy High”. Intrigued, I asked if I could try it; he said sure and he attached the electrodes to the back of my head. Unfortunately, this particular “Healthy High” unit had been dropped and had a short in it. When Mr. Gothard turned on the device the unit sent a serge through my brain. Instantly, I became an Episcopalian. Mr. Gothard, sensing in his spirit that something was terrible amiss, immediately turned off the "Health High" and cried out to God. Then with eye-hand coordination and a reaction time that would impress every ALERT man, Mr. Gothard ripped off the electrodes and stuck them back on in reverse…
Today, I am a happy, healthy Christian; free from all addictions because of Mr. Gothard. However, from time to time I find myself eating large quantities of white bread. And this past Christmas, for some reason, I just couldn’t get enough of Manheim Steamroller.
Pray for me, the sage continues…
So...while we are on the topic, anyone have the most recent news about the "lastest, greatest" doohicky that was all the rage in ATI when I left back a few years ago? What was it called...oh yeah, Sonic Bloom. They grow have any success in the greenhouse at South Campus by playing 'melodic music' to the tomatoes? Any know...anyone..anyone?
Last things I was hearing was that they weren't using the South Indy greenhouse anymore. Nothing conclusive but it seems that since it probably "didn't" work 'they' just dropped the topic and hoped that people forgot about it.

Sonic Bloom didn't work out too well at South Campus. Not because of the product, which was mostly molasses, but because the nice lady that ran the greenhouse was more than happy to leave for another TC when the oppurtunity came. Or maybe her helper that made friends with at least one Alert guy at Knoxville 2001 instead of selling the foul liquid upset sales.
To the anonymous poster who became an Episcopalian when the Healthy High was used on him:
I KNEW there had to be a reason so many former ATI students are now turning to Episcopalianism and shunning the dreaded "evangelical" churches they were raised in! Ah.... life makes sense again! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Come down Chuck :) I don't know- sounds kind of intruging, and creepy at the same time. I'm not so sure I would that quickly let ANYONE put little wire things to my brain!
