Okay for those of you who know me, I have a pretty good sense of humour. Aside from the fact that we are all sharing many of our miserable experiences, why don't we have a laugh at perhaps some of the funny things that maybe we got away with?
I'll start. I was a teenage boy at GCC so I was into the "self idolatry" in a big way and was never once accused or busted for it. Any of you guys who say you didn't are full of shyte!
Also, somebody I know very well "burned one down" right in the C of J. For those of you who don't understand the reference I am talking about "doobage" and if you can't figure that out well then just forget it. Anyhow, he blew the smoke into the bottom of a mattress. I'm sharing his story because he is not a web surfer and I was present at the time – ummm maybe I did inhale.
C'mon let's get this party started!
Cheers

Self Idolatry...of course, if we are on the same page then treating your body like an amusement park is the crime - put me in cuffs Ocifer.
The worst was living in the old dorms - 8 guys to a room, what are we 12 or 13 in grade nine, those w*t dreams were the worst to cover up....daily!!!
Oh, sh*t Sheila better not give me crap for that now. |

Before they built the infirmary people had to be sick in the dorms... So, as a good rm mate you would bring juice and crackers to your suffering rm mate.... Sorry jeff Wilkinson... But, half the time I came in the kitchen at night after Study hall to get supplies for my sick roomie.... I was raiding the pantry... Had no school books in my book bag... just room for munchies....
Hated polishing me freakin shoes... and with Mr. O at the dining room door looking for un shined shoes... I would hide till the dining room doors closed... go in the back door of the kitchen and come out and put a platter or two on tables ... and then head to my table. |

Me and a boy I was in love with went into town on the Saturday town trip and managed to sneak into that Chinese restaurant and have lunch together. Looking back on it, I can't believe we got away with it.
Then when we came back he gave me one of the best kisses of my entire life on the girls' staircase before we parted. Lovely stolen moments.
PS> Hey I got nothin' against self-idolatry, Jas. It's sex with someone you really love  . |

In your dreams perhaps we did ;).
Anyway, I really think you and I should end our dialogue on this Grenville issue. I would like to retain the good memories I have of our friendship and to that end I think it would be best if we could just agree to disagree since I think we are both starting to •••• each other off, which is a shame. |

On the lighter side, I remember when I stole a box of ice cream bars and hid it on one of the window ledges on the 3rd floor dorm. It was the middle of winter so anytime I wanted one, it was there waiting. Nobody noticed at all and I enjoyed the feeling of "sticking it to the system" at the time. If someone HAD found it, I would have never admitted guilt. |

Oooh that's stickin' it to the man-- icecream bars, Steve--how very evil of you--lol! I remember you. I remember you were a big fan of Monty Python. I thought you were cool beans and I didn't even know about your great ice cream bar caper! D'you remember me?

Hi Sheila,
I was not "absorbed" enough to run and confess my sins to the staff. Sadly, there were very few people at Grenville that I trusted. Light sessions seems to bring out the worst in people and I learned after the first one how easily people who you felt were okay, could suddenly narc on you for even the smallest of things. To this day, I have only a small trusted group of friends. I was never the A1 personality to have tonnes of acquaintences and friends but Grenville certainly didn't help.
I certainly remember you. You have to look at some of my other posts about remembering others. I mentioned about how I remembered your poem. Real gutsy. I remember looking around at the staff while you were giving the poem, they didn't appear happy... heheh. Guess they didn't understand it... ha! You really gained alot of respect that day, certainly from me.
I forget... did you win? |

I remember jogging around the lagoon for track and having a pack of smokes hidden off the trail. (I had them wrapped in cellophane so they couldn't get wet.) I'd look around and see if anyone was around and sneak in a puff.  I felt like a criminal. |

Sheilac, Do you still have the poem...or maybe Tiny still knows most of it...I would love to hear it!!! It's very interesting when Tiny mentions only having a few friends(true friends that is), and I can so relate to that. I have met so many people over theyears, inyet I have never formed long relationships-I think out of fear of being burned, or rejected. Gcc taught me not to trust, and if I did show my true feelings I would be shut down in an instant, and told I "needed" to change/confess/stop being willful/ you name it I would be told my true feelings were wrong-wrong-wrong!!, and so I think I just closed up, and to this day I hhave a hard time letting anyone in. Thinking about this just makes me feel rather sad, because I feel I lost out on so many possible great friendships. |

Purg -- RE: GCC and not being able to trust.
I learned this from my interaction with GCC/CoJ people as well. Quite frankly, I had never met such cold-hearted, deeply evil people in my life.
The GOOD NEWS is, I've met MIGHTY FEW of them since as well ... in fact, although I spent many years working in government, only a handful of people I met would come close to their level of corruption, and that was politically. I have NEVER met anyone as deceitful or SPIRITUALLY ABUSIVE as the CoJ (and some of the GCC) folks SINCE.
The vast majority of Americans and Canadians (especially regular, middle- to upper-middle class ones) are NICE, GOOD-HEARTED people that you can, for most intents and purposes, trust.
You can also trust your inner sense, your deepest "gut" feeling as well. Mentally look within, ask your self/soul to guide you, and follow that.
I have found it helpful to remember these things when dealing with new interactions and relationships. Give the average person the benefit of the doubt.
I apologize if this post offends anyone, but I am SICK and TIRED of Evil triumphing in this world ... and I think a lot of that has come about due to good men/women being afraid to take a stand. It is time, imo, for GOOD and LOVE to triumph. No more evil behavior! |

I don't know if anyone will agree with me but I find that I cannot be angry with GCC as a whole. It was the few at the top that I direct any emotional heat towards.
I found that GCC staff were like a compass that got a little too close to some metal. They truly believed they were doing God's work and pointing directly towards God but unfortunately the metal, being FF, was not true north (or even magnetic) and diverted their path.
By what I have read on these forums, it appears that the CoJ positioned FF, spiritually and physically. Spiritually off north.
I do not say it was pointing south because I do believe that many of them felt they were doing "God's work" but as we all see in retrospect, it was misdirected by people in charge and a larger influence outside of GCC. |

I also agree with you, Steve.
Some people who were on the Grenville staff who I think are great people are dear Miss Karen Anderson, a kind-hearted woman and dedicated teacher who I've mentioned in glowing terms before, the Irvings, Mr Gillis (a truly brilliant man who was one of the greatest assets the school had. It was always my feeling that Farnsworth was bitterly jealous of Mr Gillis and his myriad accomplishments and this is borne out by the fact that for no reason FF removed him from his position as head of the music department and forbade him to enter the music room or practice music *at all* for a year. The thought of this breaks my heart because while Mr Gillis was a stoic sort of man with a cool exterior and not the type one could immediately warm to, I know music was one of the great passions of his life. To do this to him was senseless and cruel and imo one of the nastiest things that nasty man ever did ), Mrs Gillis (a clever, charming and lovely woman who struggled valiantly to teach me French and much of it actually stuck which might be to her surprise), the Isolas (two of the kindest people I have ever met. Lately I have wondered about where and how they are and about their beautiful daughter Mary who was put on Discipline (shunned, put on silence and worked like a dog for six months straight before being shipped off to the CofJ after which, several months later, she returned a shadow of her former self, engaged to be married at the age of 17 (!), and filled with a strange reverence for Mother Cay and Mother Judy) the Rawsons--Mr and Mrs Rawson and of course their daughters Karen and Julie. I understand that there is some mystery about what happened to Julie Rawson--something about how she just "disappeared". I speculate that perhaps, like a number of others, she was shipped off to the CofJ against her her will. Does anyone have any information about this?

Really? Someone mentioned earlier that she had "disappeared". Well, I'm glad to hear that she got out. She was a sweet girl. |

I always wondered what became of "Aunt" Mary Lou. I do not remember her last name, but sometime around mid to late 80's she was just gone. When I asked around, I was told she went on sabatical...but she never returned. My son and I were crazy about her. Does anyone know what became of her? |

Alwyswndr; Her name is Mary Lou Ray. She left quite some time ago. I hear that she is very well and lives in Florida. Cheers, Jeff |
