What the hell?

Take a good look at the reviewer's names here

So, the Yelp! review page for the Spritual Rights Foundation and the Academy for Psychic Studies finally got an update.  Actually, one person made a review of the Spiritual Rights Foundation/Academy for Psychic Studies earlier.  However, Yelp! decided to hide it as it looked a little fishy to them.  That's no joke or what our Anonymous reader likes to call "embellishment" (which I guess is what he calls all things he can't understand).  You can look at that hidden review and you can look up the criteria Yelp! uses whey they hide a review.  It's all there on Yelp!.

Now, take a moment to really scrutinize that review of the Academy for Psychic Studies.  There are two visible reviews.  One is from our intrepid reader Marilyn.  The other - well, that other review is from someone who has been mentioned here now and then, not in name but actually in reputation.

And quite a reputation it is.  If this person really believes all she wrote in her review, I would be surprised if she isn't one of the final hangers-on at the Academy for Psychic Studies.

Well, maybe I would be surprised if she's there at all.  That person is one the leader and ministerial staff did not exactly enjoy having around.  In fact, while we were gathered formally (or usually, informally) Angela Silva herself would regale in a telling of another "Crazy Lizanne" story, with Robin Dumolin smirking and giggling as she went from person to person rummaging through their pockets.

The ministers were constantly complaining about that reviewer's odd behavior, her penchant for hearing voices and seeing apparitions at nearly any place or time.  She has said to me on several occasions that she could see inside my head and other body parts.  I told her she'd better stop as she might find something she doesn't want to see, like the Pee Wee Herman tattoo or the piercing.

She was odd.  Once after appearing in a Toyota POS, she related she paid $1000 to purchase it from her crooked neighbor because God told her to do it.  It didn't take long for the radiator to start leaking, the electrical system commence failure and for the whole fucking engine to drop on the road.

She also related to me she had a substantial inheritance that was simultaneously being supervised and looted by relatives.  There's a good remedy for that called an estate attorney but I kept that to myself as I wasn't certain her plight was factual or fantasy.

Her plight at SRF was an odd and ultimately sad one. While Lizanne so fully praised Angela Silva, Robin Dumolin and the rest of the psychotics at the Academy for Psychic Studies, those same persons were not only laughing behind her back, they were giving her far less than the kind of attention and whatever else that would be given to the average victim.

Even though Lizanne's treatment at the hands of her captors was more like the way the mean girls at school get thier target to run in circles for their amusement, Lizanne thought she was being given the royal treatment from people who were intent on nothing but her spiritual growth, unfoldment and  development.

She never saw the laughing behind her back or the hear all the cruel and demeaning things said about her and she never saw how eyes rolled, scowls formed and sneers were displayed when she entered the room.  Lizanne was blissfully unaware of the snickers, snorts and groans that were expressed whenever she spoke.  She never noticed is was the very people who she praises so completely who were intent on making embarrassing and insulting commentary so base, it would be considered bullying in any school in America.

Imagine Lizanne's disappointment when she realized she couldn't continue unless she was able to return with a trash bag full of cash and the resources to pay the thousands of dollars required to attend the Academy's psychotic training programs.  I am not sure who showed her the door but I am fairly certain it wasn't done in the most warm and nourishing manner.

Oddly, when her personal resources were depleted, she doggedly endeavored to gather as much money as possible to return to pay, and pay and pay again to receive even more of the debasement she received before.

I have to say, I am not as familiar with her treatment during her second term with the Witches of Ellsworth Street but let's say the Witches had an epiphany and began to provide the personable and supportive mentoring and guidance you would find from a close friend or a parent.  Perhaps the Witches were sincere in their attempt to assist their new student in overcoming her own inner demons and make that leap into a higher plane of awareness.

Sure...  would you like to see some swampland I have for sale?

Lizanne is a rare individual who, despite any of her shortcomings never asked for, deserved or should have been subject to any of the mean and degrading things said about her.  Lizanne is truly a kind-hearted soul and I believe that is what the Witches of Ellsworth had preyed upon when she passed through the iron gate.

While there are so many former SRF followers who I believe are incorrigible and whom I am not inspired to encounter again, Lizanne is one who I hope can refresh the false image the Witches have implanted in her fragile mind and rise above the restrictions the Witches placed on her soul.  Unfortunately, there's no damn hope of that ever happening.


I mean, take a look at what Lizanne posted on another blog:

I will never turn against you SRF love Lizanne, Even
Forever Loyal To Your Love And Your Memory SRF Love Lizanne
Born Free to Follow My Heart
Born Free At SRF
International Communities ....Suck They are In With God
Wanna keep the luv
Snowball of love
Love you guys at SRF
Love bug

Of the scores of the Witches victims, Lizanne's plight is one of the saddest and most infuriating.  To have preyed on one so vulnerable and so compliant is an act so profoundly despicable just writing about it gives me nausea.  The Witches have outdone themselves this time.  


That statement of loyalty and unconditional love sounds kind of like an abused child who professes love for their tormentor while they hide the bruises.  If the Witches were thrown behind bars only for this abuse, I'd be so satisfied I would let them walk with their ill-gotten gains.


Well, maybe only a little of it, I guess.

So taking all of that into account, how does that 5-star glowing review look?
