SES Forums

Wellspring (linked above) told me their contact in England is Hope Valley Counselling (HVC), contactable here http://www.hopevalleycounselling.com/ I must say, my first impression of HVC, after reading every page of its website, is that it appears to be excellent. One small exception is that it uses...

Seasons greetings all. With family gatherings taking place today, perhaps it is a great time to think about change and fresh starts in the family. Am starting this thread to try to pool together some exit-counselling options for people considering leaving SES, and for their nearest and dearest who w...

Thanks for posting this. Please be careful about using the C-word. The problem with it is that every time members hear it, it triggers a bruised-ego response, which causes them to discount your evidence and to dig deeper into the group, and into their own self-deception. Remember that for a lot of m...

This one is the most sensational and bizarre yet. If you set aside the terrible tragedy that befell it, a few subtle similarities with SES can be spotted.

@Justice Join the dots with another episode, mentioned in the New York Times on October 30, 1987: Since she came to power in 1979, Mrs. Thatcher has been an ardent advocate of free-market policies and the sale of state-owned enterprises to private investors. ''Privatization is the fulcrum of the Gov...

There are very serious issues with David Boddy as a public relations person without any training in education accepting the role of headmaster at a school with a public relations problem (namely, child abuse). But he does not get the ego trip that he craves from SES any more. Despite being headmaste...

Two sides to every story. There are plenty of narcissistic, manipulative, two-faced and negligent women in SES, and without them the abuses and breakdowns would have been impossible. In my personal experience of social groups, from the workplace to spiritual organizations, women treat each other wor...

Jasmine, It appears to be a classic SES offshoot front school, using deception and manipulation to disguise malicious cult recruitment. For the sake of other unwitting parents and their endangered children, I suggest you put in a call to the Sydney Morning Herald and your local child protection agen...

There's one sentence of this article that makes it essential reading - the last sentence. It illustrates better than ever before what draws a certain type of person to SES / SoPP, why they stay, why they become zealots, and what is so dangerous about that. It reads: "I don't know how to live.&q...

That's a pity for them they didn't reply. Your letter was very well crafted, moving and inspirational. If you still have the patience, I dare say you could forward it to the Australian equivalent of the Press Complaints Committee, to any other organizations and internet forums you are a member of, a...
