OK, so May 21, 2011 has come and gone without the predicted apocalypse.
Unfortunately for those who hate this blog, I'm still here. Unfortunately so are the people who believed the world would begin its end of days on the 21st.
Now, we don't need a psychic reading to know predicting the exact end of the earth is just not possible for any one of us. Most of us (even the most devoutly religious) don't spend much time pondering the end of days. However, a few do.
One of the most perverse, demeaning, useless and completely warped "classes" at the Academy for Psychic Studies has been the pinnacle of their "spiritual education" - the Revelations Class.
You might think the Revelations Class would focus on the study of the Book of Revelations. In most cults, the obsession on the end of days and the coming apocalypse is pretty common. The Academy for Psychic Studies isn't much different. However, what went on in the Revelations Class was anything but the study of Revelations, Armageddon, the second coming (since God, Jesus Christ, Buddha, Allah and Mohammad were all simultaneously resident in the body of Bill Duby, the second coming already came) or anything even remotely related to any real biblical topics.
Of course, Bill and his Witches insisted the hapless attendees of the Revelations Class study the topics they directed and only those topics they directed. Usually, it was the same damn stuff from Emanuel Swedenborg or the same passages of the Bible restated and re-told over and over again. To Bill and the Witches of Ellsworth Street, repetition was the key to indoctrination and control of their victims.
Was the book of Revelations discussed in a scholarly or otherwise meaningful way?
What, are you kidding?
So, what was revealed at the "Revelations Class"?
Well, the leaders taking advantage of the opportunity to browbeat, demean, demoralize and dehumanize a captive audience pretty much revealed how sadistic, mean, unfair and unreasonable they were was revealed:
Revelations Class - where Bill's true nature was revealed.
It wasn't a revelation as they showed those qualities pretty much every day, but at least during the Revelations Class, they revealed their sadism and depravity in a spiritually acceptable way.
Read this if you want to see how the leaders pummel grown adults into a thin paste:
The Amazing, Unending Classes at the Academy for Psychic Studies
The "classes" at the Academy for Psychic Studies are deliberately and purposefully lead the new recruit one warm and nourishing step at a time from that first energy healing to the first psychic reading to the introductory classes right into the Clairvoyant Training Program. It's there where your indoctrination is completed and your transition from psychic student to psychotic minister is completed.
The Clairvoyant Training Program is also where you will be led to the Revelations Class where your compliance and complete servitude will be reinforced with weekly beatings in front of as many of your peers and colleagues as can be mustered (well, they are only psychic beatings that leave only mental and emotional scars - so that's OK, isn't it?) and with as many bogus and pointless readings and psychotic interpretations of the same damn biblical passages over and over again.
What makes things even worse is that your own interpretations and personal meaning of the assigned passages will not be accepted. What will be accepted is a meaning and interpretation that looks just like the hundreds or thousands written before you - and those acceptable writings were actually heavily re-written or totally re-done by a member of the fully-indoctrinated, boot-licking and compliant staff.
Think back to your school days. Did any of your teachers re-write your assignments so they could be in an acceptable format? Were they re-written so you would look like a compliant student to the school administration?
Hell no! If you were't up to speed it's the short bus to drool school for you, buster.
A cult has different a agenda, though. First among the list is their need to keep all their followers in line and compliant. The cult needs to have living bodies to carry out their evil agenda. Allowing individual thought allows the followers to figure out they are being screwed, and no self-respecting cult could allow that.
Cults also have to keep their followers yearning for more - more recognition, the hope of getting something like a retirement cottage after some time of service. Maybe a chance at running a school of their own in San Jose or something; maybe even a chance to head up the whole damn garbage heap.
Of course, like all cults, the Academy for Psychic Studies does all of that and more. Those who receive the most praise were those who fell in line walking, talking, living and breathing the cult's party line and regurgitating the defecations of the leaders over and over again. If you want details, well you'll just have to wait on that. There's only so much time I have to write, you know.
But all of us who were there saw it. We lived it. We may have even been all I say and we have have done unto others as was done unto us. After all the time we have spent at the Academy, we know what we have seen there. We know what we experienced.

It's not enough for me or anyone to just say what exactly happened. For way too many, reading the details is just plain voyeuristic pleasure. I've heard from one woman who chided me and all of you saying that detailed stories were necessary for her to believe anything we said.
Think about that: she's trying to goad you, me and everyone else into releasing details about ourselves and those we know for no more reason than she wants to hear about them. I didn't recall that she released any details about herself and her cultic experience, though. I'm really not in the mood to satisfy someone's voyeuristic urge to watch a cultic reality show. How about you?
At any rate, we have two separate but equally strange and frustrating situations: one is a religious nut who uses the Book of Revelations to pollute the airwaves and scalding our eyeballs with deluded predictions of the end of the world in order to mock us with claims that he and his saved followers will ascend into Heaven while the rest of us will be eaten by zombies.
The other is a psychotic.
I think I'd rather take my chances with the zombies.
