The Academy for Psychic Studies - Doctor, Doctor.

So, I'm told I show too many hot chicks giving the finger.

Here's someone else not giving the finger

but you decide what he's really doing.

For this post, I thought I would drop in a post from our fellow SRF escapee from Sweden, Janehellen.  It's about the doctrine used by SRF and other cults to pursue spiritual and alternative healing over established medical treatment.

Of course, we kept hearing "if you believe in the pill more than the prayer, you need both".  Unfortunately for myself and others, that prayer didn't help worth a crap.

She also points out a sad fact: the leaders never really had to worry about their health as Rev. Bill Duby benefited from Medicare and the Witches of Ellsworth Street never seemed concerned about paying medical bills, probably as they had health insurance or just paid the bills from SRF's substantial coffers.

I also recall that the Witches afforded their chihuahuas the most comprehensive veterinary care available in the area.  When one of the dogs had a hip ailment, it was given the kind of surgery, after-care and veterinary attention you would have seen given to few others.

In fact, we were all responsible for our own health care - except when the prescribed health care was you lying down while half-dazed followers waved their hands around you and belched.  That's what happened to me.  I figured they were measuring me for a coffin made of Angela Silva's discarded KFC buckets and checking to see if I had any cash on me before they tossed me into the hole.

No one was honored for receiving the health care they needed.  There were people there who required replacement of major joints and eventually received surgery.  Nothing was said about their medical treatment until they returned to recuperate.  However, after the dastardly surgery was completed, the faithful few were gathered to administer healings to remove the medical energy from the recovering patient.  I guess none of the real medical staff prescribed that particular treatment but as it was an edict from the leaders, it was treated like it was.

There was also one woman who had a debilitating disease called Myasthenia Gravis (which the spiritually-educated Rev. Bill Duby idiotically called "Gravenstien's Disease" - you know, like the apple) who was held up as an example of what the spiritually-pure guidance of the Academy for Psychic Studies can do for you.  Bill went on forever decrying the multiple surgeries and medical procedures this woman experienced to treat her illness and noted that when the medical treatments stopped and his deranged spiritual treatment was allowed to run unabated, she showed a remarkable improvement in her symptoms.

Not said by Bill Duby was the medical treatments accomplished their objective and allowed this woman to live a more normal and comfortable life with fewer symptoms at about the time Bill was touting her miraculous recovery from his spiritual intervention.

Bill's own "recovery" from type-2 diabetes was said to be a miraculous recovery made possible only by his body's ability to handle the "energy" from a disease.  That he changed his diet (somewhat) and began a course of medical treatment (which continued until his death) was never mentioned.

For a time, I was a fairly regular visitor to Bill's second-floor room where he conducted special healings and other perverted activities on whatever female he had his eye on at the time.  On Bill Duby's desk, was a  row of those amber bottles with labels from the local pharmacy.  Pills.  Some pills I recognized: ACE inhibitors for his high blood pressure, glucophage or something like it for his diabetes and something else I recognized for some reason but couldn't recall what it was for at the time.  It stated with a "T".  It certainly wasn't Tagamet.  I later looked up the drug.  It was Tegretol, a last-ditch medication for the control of the manic phase of bipolar disorder.

A friend of mind developed bipolar disorder while young.  He went through a lot of meds to get it under control.  Tegretol and lithium was the ticket.  That's how I recalled the name Tegretol.

So, not only did the Witches avail themselves, their golden child and their dogs of the best medical care available, Bill Duby was under constant medical care as well.

For a guy who told us the body responds to dis-eased thinking by getting sick itself you'd figure his body wasn't really sick as Bill's thoughts were pure and celestial.  I never really saw the connection between the cosmos and Bill's cranium so maybe it's the case his diseased body simply responded to Bill's diseased, deranged, demented and maniacal mind.

I'm betting on deranged and maniacal.

As far as any other SRF medical miracles go, there are several.  Mine was one of them.  Unfortunately, my miracle is one of great doctors and advances in medical care that just were not available in my parent's time.

So maybe the real medical miracles seen at the Academy for Psychic Studies were nothing more than the kinds of miracles medical science is able to produce for those who come to their clinic and follow their treatment plans.

Throwing away your medicines and getting psychic readings isn't part of the plan.

However, if you are of the bent to pursue those alternative treatments, just sign up for an ISHI Hypnosis session so you can be hypnotized to believe the ISHI $60 a session is just the ticket for your recovery from your dread disease.  Follow up with a $150 six-week class session on whatever crackpot topic is being offered.  Pay another $80 for a reading from the only resident psychic expert and gifted clairvoyant left at the Academy and he will wave one hand around you while the other hand stuffs a Big Mac in his mouth.

Just be sure your life insurance is paid up and you have made your final arrangements.  A pre-need package from the local mortuary would be a good idea as well.  Because whatever damage you did to yourself while the Academy for Psychic Studies' treatments are going on, your real doctors may not be able to heal.

As you read Janehellen's post, remember, as she is Swedish you have to show a little latitude with her English.  So you SRF troll, no demeaning commentary about Janehellen being Swedish as not only have you purchased a well-used set of Swedish furniture on Craigslist that soon collapsed underneath you and have attempted to roll your substantial girth to the rhythm of a Swedish super-group, you will piss me off as I not only have new Swedish furniture that didn't come in a box and have two Swedish vehicles, each of which cost more than five times the POS you roll in, I have several friends in Sweden who are none too pleased with your lame attempts to taunt them about their way of speech, you fucking hypocritical, idiotic and deluded martinet.

Cult abuse

In SRF and other branches they demonize docktors and especially psyciatrists. I had a friend who was bipolar and she definetly needed medical help, but since I was brainwashed at that time I didnt tell her to seak help.

If you are bipolar your body needs litium or medicine to help take away the most difficult moodswings. Maby it was not my responsebility, like I have learned, but to live with and put up with someone thants bipolar is trouble. People that are bipolar can easily commit suicide and its one of the most difficult menal illnesses. I dont understand why they thought that they could heal everything or that medical attention was not nessecary. I know that the youngest child in the SRF family didnt get any vaccinations at all from 2 months to 1 1/2 yeras old at least, I dont think he got any after that eather. It´s kind of worrysome, for instance polio is very contagious and the reson people dont get it nowadays is because almost all children are vaccinated from it.

But not everybode, not at SRF anyway. I dont know if that the leaders trust the ´"supreme being" with their childrens life or what they were thinking. Where did all the money go? Everybode worked so hart at SRF. What does it cost to get a child vaccinated in bay area, mabye 20 dollars mabye and most probably you can get it for free in a free medical clinic. But the teaching was against medical care and gouvermental programs, they give a lot of negative energy.

A Really Quick Question:

They should have got Emma Stone to stay at the Witches' Farm.

Every guy there would work until they drop.

So who's left at the Academy for Psychic Studies and how much longer will they last?

I figure about eight two people are still stuck in that cesspool.

Anyone have a better guess?


Who's still living in the Academy's Compounds?  Who's coming to the Academy regularly?

We know there isn't enough people to teach mind control classes.  I just wonder how many are left to hang around waiting for the doors to slam shut in their face.

Is it better to wait for the ship to sink or is it better to grab a life vest and take your chances?

Is it even worth it for those who remain to even think about an exit?

And what will happen when those doors inevitably close for good?  How will the faithful few react to that?

And where will the Witches of Ellsworth Street go with their loot?  Bermuda?  The Cayman Islands?  Luxembourg?

Or maybe they'll have to spend their end of days in a trailer sinking into the Sacramento River Delta?

What's your guess and how long do you think it will take?


While you ponder, take a look at this short video from Jeanette from Sweden.  She's a Spiritual Rights Foundation escapee who has made it back to real life and her vid shows how real the Swedenborg church is and that it is anything but the mystical, foreboding and unapproachable spiritual information that Rev. William Duby said it was.

The Essence of Freedom

Before he died, William Duby and the Witches posed for a picture

at the SRF penal colony the "Blue Sky Ranch" in Bethel Island.
Bill always did like cowboy hats...

So, I get all kinds of comments on this blog. Some are supportive and some are not. No matter the nature of the comment, I allow them all and contribute my own reply, if I can.

Usually, those replies are pretty short. I've recently seen this thing on my page entitled: ISHI School of Hypnosis and the Cult of SRF - what happened after World Hypnotism Day?


Anonymous said...
"I'm so sorry you feel the need to do his (sic). This is not helping you towards your own personal healing and growth. I think that the ISHI school is great.I pray that you will find something better to do with your time like taking care of yourself and healing from your past."

This comment apparently came from a woman with a well of axes to grind about something. So, I thought it warranted a special reply all its own. I've deconstructed the comment and added my own commentary for your amusement and edification.


"I'm so sorry you feel the need to do his (sic)."

Yeah, so am I. But I and the countless others affected by the practices of this organization make it absolutely necessary to express the outrage we have all felt after hearing the lies and distortions we were fed. I've said before: this blog was created for a purpose. That purpose is to give those who left the Spiritual Rights Foundation and its related organizations the freedom to express what they could not at the cult. It is a place where they can speak without the crushing humiliation they experienced at the cult. It is a place where we can tell our side of the story. It is a place where seekers can make up their own mind.

In a perfect world, there would not be people who prey on others. There would not be people in desperate need to relieve themselves of the mental and emotional burdens placed on them at a cult. There would not be people who revise history and brush questions aside. Yeah, I wish there was no need to create and maintain this blog.

But I'll keep doing it for as long as there is a need and as long as the people who caused pain grief and misery keep hiding behind locked gates and dirty auras.


"This is not helping you towards your own personal healing and growth."

Uh... what?

If this person is as I suspect: a loyalist of the Ellsworth Street Commie Club, I would expect that kind of comment. We heard that statement (or something like it) any time we were engaged in an activity the cult did not like or understand.

Activities like pursue our careers, gain an academic education or socialize with family and friends - anything outside the limits of the cults understanding or approval. It's such a common phrase in the new age and cult world, it's become a rallying cry for them, anathema for the rest of us.

Actually, I have long wondered why the Spiritual Rights Foundation spent a lot of time and money pursuing this blog with laughable legal actions that fail miserably and with small pin pricks from anonymous commenters on this blog - just like the one we see here. Those commenters never made rebuttals to their commentary or engaged in dialog, even though it's available and encouraged. It's a hit-and-run tactic. The problem for them is when they run, we hit back.  Hard.


"I think that the ISHI school is great."

Well, so does the Spiritual Rights Foundation. So did I until I realized what was happening behind the scenes. My experience there, along with the experience of others called the integrity of the organization into question. Perhaps you may be tempted to distinguish the behavior of the organization called ISHI Hypnosis from its founders and staff. But any organization is only as good as the leaders and staff.

In ISHI's case, there is direct experience from former students that have led them to question the integrity of the organization and those who run it. In the case of the commenter, she only offers up the statement "I think that the ISHI school is great.".  She never said if she was or was not a student of ISHI . She never claimed our experiences are mistaken and our conclusions incorrect. Most important, she never makes any real attempt to tell her side of the story.

If she does have an experience that contradicts that of myself and others, why not tell it? Why remain nameless if your story is as true and candid as our own? If you are so proud of ISHI to be motivated to comment on this decidedly anti-ISHI blog, wouldn't you stand as tall as John Hancock signing the Declaration of Independence?

To this commenter, the declaration "I think that the ISHI school is great." is sufficient. Is it to you?


"I pray that you will find something better to do with your time like taking care of yourself and healing from your past."

Now this is an interesting statement. While the commenter chose to remain anonymous, this particular choice of words is quite revealing. It appears to be from someone with more than a passing interest in a religious, new age type of cult. This person repeats the concepts of "healing" and "growth" - two concepts all we ex-culties heard every day and nearly every hour at the cult. Notice I say we "heard" those concepts. Rarely could we see or experience those concepts for ourselves.

The fact is, the intent and accomplishments of this blog are exactly the things this commenter says you, I and all our readers are failing to achieve - healing, taking care of our own well being. I have heard from many of this blog's readers this blog has helped them understand what happened at the Spiritual Rights Foundation and through this blog they have been empowered to begin the healing process and discover the strength they need to free themselves from the bonds of cult thinking and take that step to take care of themselves in the ways ISHI and SRF would not allow:

Things like professional treatment from people who truly care and have real training - far more in depth than the ten days ISHI Hypnosis instructors received and with real certification and licensing for real, proven treatments.

Things like the freedom to associate, the freedom to speak, the freedom to think for yourself.

We now have the freedom to succeed in the career of our choice, live where we please and own property for ourselves and our loved ones - rather than work at the pleasure of the cult and encumber your property with the crippling debt of the cult's tithe.

We can care for those we care about without having to hear the phrase "you are not your brother's keeper" spat from the mouths of the leaders and ringing in our ears.

We have the freedom to love who we choose and put that bond before the cult. We can choose how we conduct that relationship. We can protect the cohesion of our families and defend them from those who work to inject themselves into our closest and intimate relationships.

We have to freedom to live.

And isn't it true: "Freedom is the Essence of Life"

We never knew the real meaning of that pithy aphorism while we attended the Spiritual Rights Foundation and ISHI Hypnosis.

It's all clear to us now - We broke free from the bonds of tyranny and deception. We got our life back. But those still disengage their thoughts from  the Spiritual Rights Foundation can't imagine life without the cult. And they can't accept we can live without it either.

We are here to tell our side of the story. A story that seekers like us can use to decide on their own spiritual path. And many have made a decision - their own decision.

As always, my purpose is to present the side of the SRF story told from those who had been there, revealing our experiences with the Spiritual Rights Foundation and ISHI Hypnosis in a truthful and candid manner. Unlike the coercion practiced at cultic organizations like SRF, I encourage my followers to make up their own mind.

If you disagree with me, that is your right. And speaking up and speaking out is your right. The First Amendment lives and breathes right here. If you would like to post a comment just like the comment I quote here, please do. In fact, comments give me and those reading this blog the seed to have an open and frank discussion.

All comments are welcome. But as I warned in a previous post, it is an OPEN forum. Your comment may attract opposing comments that you may care to rebut. That's the nature of an open forum. That kind of environment is unusual and intimidating to the cult devotees. They will have to get used to it. It what the United States of America and the First Amendment is all about.

The Academy for Psychic Studies - Good Riddance

Since pro lacrosse left San Jose, I found a new sport to watch,
and watch, and watch, and watch...

As I hear it from more than one source, the ranks of the Academy for Psychic Studies have thinned to 2 or 3 (depending on who you talk to).  We could have all predicted this earlier but one guy hit the nail on the head when he left this comment a couple of years ago:

The ones with a little life left are leaving fast. No student can stand the stench of their denial. Pretty soon it will just be Robin, Angela, Rick/Ross huddled around an apocalyptic fire incestuously reading each and denying that the wolves are at the door. Every once in a while as spat breaks out like vultures fighting over a carcass.

I guess this guy is either psychic or he knew what was going to happen because it was all too apparent.

The Witches of Ellsworth Street tried their best but they lost a war of their own making.  In the same way Hitler lost a war to dominate a continent and oppress an entire class of people, the Witches have lost their fight to dominate and oppress the people who would have happily been of service to them - if the Witches had shown humanity, compassion and fairness.

The complete collapse of the Academy for Psychic Studies may have reduced the risk of further shenanigans for now.  However, it's not eliminated for as long as Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin have the opportunity and the means to advance their evil agenda, as long as they have the desire to regain what they have lost, the Academy and the Witches will remain a threat to society.

I for one, will maintain my responsibility to the public by continuing to present our side of the Academy for Psychic Studies story - knowing that tigers don't change their stripes nor do Witches ever stop stirring the cauldron.

I am sure we all hope this worthless and destructive organization will close its doors by New Year's Day.  Even though the Witches of Ellsworth Street are two of the laziest, conniving, parasitic, exploitative and controlling martinets who are forced to rely on a corpulent, overbearing, incompetent boot-licking idiot and a guy who is so burned out, he doesn't care nor can he move faster than molassas on a Winter's day, I hope it would take longer than New Year's Day.

I hope it will be quite a bit longer - and longer is better.

If you will all take your minds out of the gutter for a moment (or perhaps I should) I'll tell you what I mean: it is in our interest to see the final few at the Academy continue for as long as they can hold out because every month they stay open is another month they go without any new victims - and that costs them money.

An operation that costs money is abhorrent to Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin as it reduces their chance to skim the revenues for shopping sprees and religious retreats to luxury spas and resorts.

Why the Witches of Ellsworth haven't abandoned their fast-sinking ship doesn't make sense to me.  After all, they won't work to keep the place alive.  They won't work for anything at all!  Running for the hills holding bags 'o cash like women possessed does make sense to me.

On the other hand, there is a scenario I think does make sense.  For as long as they hold income properties, as long as they have some kind of revenue coming in, as long as those properties have low maintenance costs (and if you've lived there, you know how low it is) they need a tax-free entity to funnel and launder the money through.  What's that for, you ask?  If you've been at the Academy, you would have seen it by now.  If you haven't been there, keep reading.  You'll see it clear as day.

When the legal owner of the income properties is a non-profit religious organization that doesn't even have to file a tax return every year, what's the chance the operators of said org have an opportunity to fudge the books?  What's the chance the two people at the top are somehow getting some kind of tax-free income, tax-free housing, cars and other perks?  What would the people who control every dime that is paid into the organization try to get away with, for as long as no one looks and no one talks?

Well, I think you see it now.

That the Witches of Ellsworth Street are awash in new cars, personal homes, brokerage accounts, overpriced crappy-looking knick-knacks purchased from QVC, expensive but dowdy clothes for themselves and only the finest fashions for the golden child are just the beginning.  Have you ever wondered how Angela could just walk back to her home and come back with a wad of cash?  Why would a small church have stacks of Benjamin's stashed in the leader's home?  Every wonder how Angela's tithe envelope got so thick?  Ever consider she has the ability to fish it back out of the donation tray and bring it back home with her?  Don't worry if you didn't - I didn't either until I saw her do just that.

Think of the assets "owned" by the Academy for Psychic Studies: the Blue Sky Ranch is owned by Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin (which I proved in the legal system, we got the deed.  it was made out to them), Freedom Estates is "managed" by Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin - in fact, ALL Spiritual Rights Foundation/Academy for Psychic Studies "businesses" and holdings are "managed" by those two and no one else.

The secrecy around the organization and financial structure of the Academy as well as the deliberate obfuscation of who benefits and for what purpose is legendary.  When cornered, Rev. Bill Duby would lash out: "Don't fuck with me when it comes to money!"  I took that to mean: don't ask how I stole your money.

Bill would also say you should not ask about where his ill-gotten gains went.  Actually he just said: "Don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing." or something else that didn't make sense.  Well, I guess he meant: "keep your left hand behind your back while my right hand picks your pocket."  Now that makes sense to me!

Somehow, some way, somebody who knows where the skeletons are hidden and what kind of skulduggery is being conducted needs to speak out.  As they are now on the ropes and are gasping for air, why would you fear them?  What kind of loyalty or assistance do you owe two witchey women who did no more for you than keep you alive long enough to drain your blood?  Is it fair they watch Oprah all day while you do an honest day's work?  Is it fair they earn a dishonest profit from your honest work?

In their weakened state, the Witches of Ellsworth Street are in no position to come after you.  They have been defeated in the Superior Court of California and have withdrawn from the world like the cowards they are.  They are in the same vulnerable state and in the state of fear, uncertainty and doubt as they have kept you.

Let's keep them there.  For all that is true and fair, if you know more about the unsavory financial practices at the Academy for Psychic Studies, make a confidential report to the appropriate agencies.  Most will allow you to report anonymously.  Consult with a specialist, if you feel that is appropriate - unlike the Witches, they will honor confidentiality.

Even if you don't have knowledge, participate in this blog (anonymously if you like) or start one of your own.  Trust me, it's worth it.

However long it takes, the longer the Academy for Psychic Studies' death throes last, the more psychic pain and suffering will be created by the Witches on the few two who remain.  Of course, as the Witches' exploits have a really bad habit of blowing back on them, I wouldn't be surprised if the witches start experiencing some pain and suffering of their own making

Spiritual Deception at the Academy for Psychic Studies

So while perusing the previous SRF website, I ran into the following:

=======================================

The Spiritual Rights Foundation All Healing is Awakening unto who you truly are

At SRF everything is designed for you to get to know yourself in a whole new way - as SPIRIT! You are a divine, perfect, spiritual being! The trouble is we've all been conditioned to believe that we are the body/personality, the name label we are wearing, the thoughts and the emotions that flow through us. This is a misperception (sic), and it causes us to experience our lives as being separate from our Source, the God of our Heart 

This is the cause of every form of dis-ease on the planet. If you truly KNEW that you were divine and perfect, a child of God, could you be sick or poor or have anything wrong with you whatsoever? NO! 

You can experience the healing right now by recognizing that what you've just read is true. If you'd like to learn more, come in and get a healing, and you may find life is much more fun than you ever thought possible

=================================

It's an amazing thing, that statement. I have no doubt those people believe what they are saying.  What I have a problem with is that the people who wrote this very statement have their own agenda.

The lure of knowing you are a divine, perfect spiritual being is just too strong to ignore. In the 90's when we were all feeling guilty for, well, just about everything that happened the decade before, it was good to know that we still had value somewhere.

About this time, we were suffering from a hangover from the 80's and accepting that the 90's would be austere and not so self-indulgent (and it was until the dot-com explosion).

Spirituality was in its heyday in the 90's and in the middle of the 90's there was a burst of interest in the Spiritual Rights Foundation from a bunch of fresh young faces from the San Jose area.

Joy and I were two of them. There were a lot more. Too many more.

I think we were drawn in with the lure of finding peace and enlightenment. We did at first. But as we "arose in vibration", we saw more and more abuse. More and more exploitation.

I can't possibly describe it all but all of us who have been there know all of it.

It's a tough thing to sit down and consider how and why I and so many other got into this morass. For me, at least, it's something I have to do. I have to know what it is that drew me in.

A charismatic leader and all the trappings of knowing something new and all the bright and cheery things we thought we could have. Not so much that my own life was so bad, but it was missing something. It was something I just cannot put my finger on. At the time, my job was full of pressure and I was tired of trying to just keep pushing forward. I was ready to gather my knives and Cuisinart and head over to the Culinary Institute of America for a major career change.

I didn't. I got waylaid by some hooligans on the way to the Napa Valley. It was the Spiritual Rights Foundation, Bill Duby and the Witches of Ellsworth - except at the time, they didn't look so witchy and the cesspool of spiritual perversion looked so attractive.

Once in the door, they had me. As I got more and more involved in classes and all the rest, Bill found something in me. I think it was that I knew computers and the internet in more depth than anyone he met. I was plied with a mention of running the SRF web operation, having people around me who wanted to create. Bill even dangled a woman in front of me.

The last part was probably the worst. This gal wasn't evil and actually she is very interesting, engaging and quite a bit of fun to be around. Her only problem was that she was so hooked into the SRF way and Bill, it became obvious that her intentions were less about me and more about pleasing her captors.

The relationship was bizarre. Bill was not at all hesitant to use sexuality to hook in and motivate the men under his control. My relationship with this person was formed in front of the entire church, during a "trance" session. He dragged me up in front of everyone, used his power of hypnosis or whatever you want to call it to pull this gal up with me and "merge" our "auras" into one.

It worked OK for a while as all infatuations do. But the constant attention on our conduct, the frequent interference from Bill, the humiliation of everyone knowing what we did and did not do caused the expected ups and downs in the relationship.

We never really meshed. I can't go into details, but those of you who saw it can fill in the gaps for me. It's a situation that is important to disclose and I encourage people to do that if you like. I just can't do it myself.

I simultaneously loved and hated her. Well, it was more like a cycle. Love. Hate. Rinse. Repeat.

It's no wonder I was in a state of confusion worse than I had ever experienced.

What's the deception?

It was a simple but devious deception: the bait and switch.

What would motivate a young man better than the prospect of getting laid?

Well, having been a young man I'd say.... nothing.

Bill being a consummate con artist knew that too. In my presence, he spoke loud and long about getting me the hook-up and touted his skills as a "spiritual pimp" generously offering up women to his hormone-infested men.

But to the women, he told a different story.

This girl was told to keep her knees so close together, she could squeeze a dime into foil. In my presence, this girl would alternatively ply her womanly skills then complain mightily that I was just trying to get between her legs.


Through it all, the Reverend William Duby proudly boasted to the dazed and battered followers in his perverted "Friday Night Trance Class" only he had the divine ability to manipulate a young man and woman to do whatever the fuck he felt like making them do.  Did I say "divine"?  I meant "deranged".  My bad...

You all know I met my wife at SRF. That is possibly the only good thing I got out of that place. She was there at the time.

Bill made sure she stayed out of the picture. He tore her away from me and "replaced" her personality with a pseudo-personality that worshipped the "relationship" between myself and this other woman.

I had no idea this was happening. Neither did most people. And when I did find out, I was livid. Certainly, I would have gone after Bill if God hadn't beat me to it, striking Bill down with a cardiac arrhythmia in front of the gathered congregation. Well, that was good enough for me.

It was deception just like I describe that ruled the day-to-day life of the Spiritual Rights Foundation. You would be told one thing. Everyone else something completely different. You were always caught unaware, always lacking the information you need to know and always without a clue what was expected and what was and was not acceptable.

No wonder so many people were emotionally devastated after their experience. No wonder so many SRF-arranged relationships failed. No wonder why the rate of suicidal thinking and suicide attempts set a new world record.

Although Bill is long dead, the manipulation still exists. But in a more subtle, quiet way. Some of it is so transparent, the victims could see it for what it is and made their exit quickly.

But far too many remain under their spell. It's not just the only remaining porcine sycophant and boot-licker who still believes.  Many of those who left the cult still believe Rev. William Duby is a spiritual genius and worship him and all the perverted things he said, did and imagined.  Those are the ones who drank the Kool-Ade.  Those are the ones who will struggle with themselves and with the people around them.  


These true believers who believe in the master but not the mistresses are not only victims of William Duby's deception and the attempts of the Witches of Ellsworth Street to perpetuate the exploitation, they are victims of their own spiritual deception.


By worshiping their tormentor while acknowledging the abuse, by diminishing and minimizing the scale and importance of the daily horror of financial, mental, spiritual and physical abuse, these true believers are putting off seeing what they can't face - the truth.

For them, the trauma of realizing how bad things were and the depth of the spiritual deception is more than their tender constitutions can bear.  In a way, it makes those who have departed and faced the pain, the anger and the deep, unrelenting embarrassment of being an ex-cult member through therapy or other means appear far more courageous and more honest.


Honest?


Of course.  In order to deal with Rev. William Duby's deception, you have to be not only candid about the experience you have to be honest about how that experience affected you.  That involves being honest about how you feel about Duby - not just the Witches of Ellsworth.  As many of those who have departed can't do that, they'll remain under the influence of the most poisonous Kool-Ade there is: the poison of self-deception.


To have made the courageous step of not only realizing the emperor has no clothes but saying so as well is the beginning of a journey into a free life without the tether of paranoia and deception from the Academy for Psychic Studies.  That freedom has opened a new world to them - a world of opportunities and not limits, a world of curiosity without trepidation and a world with the freedom and self-determination to maintain assets and earnings for yourself and your family and to maintain your personal relationships without interference.


It is a big step.  It's a step so gigantic and meaningful for the recently-departed of the Academy, it's overwhelming.  It's so overwhelming for them, they continue their own deception for a simple reason: self-preservation.


To acknowledge the ocean of deliberate and purposeful acts of deceit, the acts of exploitation would cause the dam to break and the flood waters to surge and drown them in sadness, anger, embarrassment, frustration and all the rest. To continue the deception in their own minds and refuse to acknowledge the very issues that caused them to leave the wrought iron gate forever or refuse to talk about anything but the happy, blissful memories of the cult may feel like the right thing to do on an energy level but no matter how far you kick the can - sooner or later, you'll run out of road.

I have little hope the recently-departed will see the light, bite the bullet and let those backed-up emotions to come out while they receive the counseling and treatment they will need.  There are many things in play that will keep those who left in the last few years from making even a baby step towards freedom:

• The daily pummeling Bill Duby gave them created a fear of facing up to their own fears.
• The staggering reality they are not perfect, divine beings but no more than mere human beings.
• The shame of having lost so much of their lives to a madman and his witches.
• Exposure to and adoption of the intense paranoia of Bill Duby and the Witches.
• Addiction to making bad thoughts go away with the wave of a hand and the closing of their eyes.

There's no wonder why a small core group of former believers just won't ever see what really happened at the Academy for Psychic Studies.  The only wonder is if they'll ever open their eyes.

Who would like to send Angela and Robin
a "Happy DEAD-iversary" card?  

My two friends here have theirs ready to throw.

 As a tribute to Rev. Bill Duby's 10th DEAD-iversary, I'm keeping that particular post at the top of the list for a while.

There will be more new posts, though.  Just scroll past Rev. Bill Duby's 10th DEAD-iversay page and new posts and newly re-posted posts will be right there.

Dammit Robin!  I told you to put a towel down!

Now I gotta get the seats disinfected...

It's a Happy New Year - The Witches of Ellsworth Street are Melting

 Oh My, look who came down the chimney...

Happy New Year!

It's the first year we all have hope for the future of society.  As the Academy for Psychic Studies has deteriorated into a paltry two members who serve at the beck and call of the Witches of Ellsworth Street.

As we celebrate the new year and the new hope for our country and ourselves, I would like to make a suggestion:  how about making a new year's resolution regarding your hopes for a world without the Academy for Psychic Studies.

Drop your hopes, your resolutions in the comment box. 

Game Over

Looks like the angels have a message

for Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin.
That should tell you who really
represents all that is holy.

Who in the hell is left at the Academy for Psychic Studies?

It's a question people keep asking me and one I ask often.

I joined the Academy for Psychic Studies just at the peak of its heyday in the mid-90's. Steve Sanchez made a monumental effort in directing his San Jose "parish" and was able to attract many of us to his church. Don't worry, I never held it against him. In fact, I count Steve as one of my closest friends.

We joined a thriving and apparently enthusiastic and vibrant organization filled with like-minded and seemingly supportive people. Academy for Psychic Studies headquarters seemed abuzz with the excitement and energy that only a happy and fulfilled congregation could have created.

For we newbies, it was a happy and wondrous time, full of exploration and sustained by the encouragement of Bill Duby, his wives and the people around us.

The end of the decade, though, brought about an abrupt and stunning turn.

Fathers were being marginalized and separated from their children. Women were being worked hard. One was worked so hard, she fell ill and eventually died. The excitement was waning. The happiness began to fade into a more sullen and somber mood.

The start of the 21st century ushered in even more discontent and for the first time, public exposure of the financial, emotional and even physical abuses practiced at the Academy for Psychic Studies. News coverage began in earnest - none of it favorable.

Legal actions over truancy, divorce and custody issues appeared.

SRF was embarrassed at the public exposure and their involvement in the legal issues of their members. In fact, many members cited SRF's involvement in their personal lives and relationships as one reason for taking legal action in the first place.

Over the years, the number of those remaining at the Academy for Psychic Studies has dwindled and dwindled.

At its heyday, there were nearly 40 people at the Academy for Psychic Studies.

Now there are only about a dozen two.

There were a good number of strong men to do the physical labor.

Now, there is hardly enough to patch a hole in the wall do more than complain about the work while they stuff a Big Mac in their pie hole.

Who's left?

Most of them are in middle-age or their golden years. A few are a little younger.  Two older dudes - a corpulent and maniacal sycophant beating the psychotic drum all by himself and one too beat down physically and emotionally to care.

But the youth, the enthusiastic and fearless ones - they are all gone. None are coming in.

The healing clinics attracted many from all walks of life. Today, a few middle-age women come in and turn their noses after seeing that the Academy for Psychic Studies isn't all it's cracked up to be.

ISHI Hypnosis is experiencing a dearth of new students. The last class (highly touted and endlessly shilled on the radio show "Total Propaganda") had a less-than-prosperous one student.  More recent classes were empty.

No one but those trapped in the Academy for Psychic Studies cesspool buys the Heath and Wealth items.

Only the faithful few two one none attend the Academy for Psychic Studies retreats.

The 90's wave of enthusiasm for the Academy for Psychic Studies has collapsed into a few drips of interest.

I hope it stays that way.

=========================

In the last few days, I've fielded more than a few direct accusations and subtle hints that I am behaving vengefully towards the Academy for Psychic Studies.

I'm not looking for vengeance. That kind of thing is the action of a person who wants to damage a person or organization for his own personal satisfaction or gain.

I have a mission. It's a mission to inform the world - to tell our side of the story.

I want to see no more victims of this spiritual cesspool.

I hope those who are young enough and have so much of their lives ahead of them see the writing on the wall and head out the door for good.  Thankfully, they have.

I pray those who have their golden years to look forward to turn their back on their abusers and live the life they richly deserve.  They did - for the most part.  Maybe a few years too late but better late than never.

For those who read this blog, I hope my information and my opinions help them see what we saw: the evil that permeates the Academy for Psychic Studies.  I hope our side of the story allows them the freedom of thought to decide for themselves when faced with a choice for their spiritual fulfillment.

I'm not interested in vengeance. I am interested in freedom and that is the purpose of this blog and what I say and do.

Of course, as the Witches of Ellsworth Street have been adamant this blog has been not only the bane of their existence, all things un-witchly, un-spiritual, un-psychic and unenlightening have emanated from here.  Of course, they predict the usual doom and gloom and have admonished their former flock of the witchly consequences of my expression of freedom.

The Witches or their mindless followers have engaged in several actions designed to isolate, demean and discredit Joy and myself in the most base and foul manner.  We know they have singled out their current and former members who have accepted an invitation to our wedding.  Visits to former members were closely monitored by the children of the former members at the direction of the Witches.  Appropriate responses such as insults to our ethnicity, personality and the basis of our marriage (that we want to grow old together without the influence of the cult - a stupid reason, I know) as well as the usual obscenities and epithets were delivered by the children in the name of the Witches.

It is no surprise to we Academy escapees to see the Witches of Ellsworth conduct their reign of terror and personal degradation through proxies.  Wives were turned on husbands and children turned on parents continuously during our imprisonment.  What the poor deluded followers can't reconcile is the Witches' conduct of delivering spiritually meaningful and psychic-ly warm and nourishing derogatory and dehumanizing personal insults were in fact, blatant attempts to extract vengeance upon those who dare to live without their influence and have the courage to speak out so no other will fall under their evil spell.

The Witches' vengeance is a subtle one.  They slowly and deliberately conduct a Chinese Water Torture of derogatory statements among the followers, the children and whoever else they can think of.  The continuous drip, drip, drip of their own brand of degradation continues until they find a new person to hold up as a scapegoat.

As our own quest for personal freedom and independence continued, the Witches were there at every step.  Even well before the publication of this now-famous blog, the Witches of Ellsworth used both Joy and myself as spiritually perverse examples of the consequences of engaging in a life and livelihood without the influence of the Witches.

As the Witches were unable to effect this blog and as they were unable to win their stupid and unlawful suit against me and all who read it, their credibility as truly warm and nourishing messengers of peace and personal freedom has been as well accepted as Herman Cain saying he never even heard of all those women.

As this blog and my own personal quest is to present our side of the Academy for Psychic Studies story and to give the public a more complete view of the goings-on there than the self-serving propagandists at the Academy would ever present.

What is presented here is as accurate as memory and recollection permit and at no time are the contents here knowingly false.  Therefore, there is no harm or libel to any person living or dead (especially DEAD).  Just search the blog for the post "Order! Order! Order of the Court!" to see the court agreed.

Anyone but the mentally deficient leaders and hangers-on at the Academy for Psychic Studies can see:  when an individual speaks his or her mind based on his or her truthful experiences and derives opinions therefrom, there's no vengeance involved.

However, I will grant you:  THE TRUTH HURTS, DOESN'T IT?

  

Happy SRF New Year!

That's how I spent most of my New Year's Days at

the Academy for Psychic Studies

I wasn't hungover.  I realized I had to face another wasted year

with the Witches of Ellsworth Street.

I figured this comment to a previous post deserves its own entry.

What a great thing it is to be far away from all that. Just remember, what the commenter wrote above is pretty much a daily event at the sacred halls of the Spiritual Rights Foundation.

How many years were the deluded followers of the Academy for Psychic Studies dragged into the facilities so they can perform spiritually meaningful work such as sweep the floors and shovel manure at the Blue Sky Ranch?  How much of this kind of work did any of the leaders participate in?  Sure, Bill Duby loved to ride on his lawn tractor but is that the same as laying sewer pipe, cutting down weeds at the fence line with a string trimmer or doing any other work so far beneath the dignity of the leaders, only the followers were considered sufficiently wretched and servile for such menial work.


Even though this comment was written some 3 years ago, do you think anything changed?  Well, maybe it has changed this year as there the two followers left are too few to dump on.  Aw fuck, of course they are being dumped on.  Those Witches of Ellsworth Street aren't changing even though their world has collapsed all around them.


Let's celebrate this new year by raising a glass to their decrepit circumstances and hope we may see this worthless and utterly destructive organization collapse and at least some restitution to the victims is made.

Leave your brains at the door.

The broadcast I am listening to now started off with a little spiel about taking a class at SRF. The speaker said that the nice thing about classes at SRF is that you can "turn off your analyzer and not have to think".

Imagine that. A class where thought is not necessary. In fact, thinking with your rational mind and using your knowledge is discouraged. Any time you start thinking "hey, what I am being told and are being taught is not lining up with with what I am seeing around me or what I know " you will be told that you are "in your analyzer" which will interfere with your spiritual learning.

OK, so how many teachings, religious or otherwise ask you to stop thinking? A lot come to mind. Like the Moonies. The Children of God, too. All those cultic organizations will ask your to stop thinking.

Ernest Hemingway said: “Develop a built-in bullshit detector.” I thought I did. Somehow, I took my trust in the 99% of the good people of the world and applied it to an organization that acted like the other 1%. Hey, maybe they represented the entire 1%!

Well suffice it to say that organizations like the Spiritual Rights Foundation almost always tell you to stop thinking for yourself. At SRF, your vast file of information is called various things like "family programming", "invalidation", "false morals and ethics", "human expectations".

They say that because our mores, values and standards of behavior are formed from the society we all live in: the human society. Many of the good values, beliefs and moral judgment we formed through our lives are disdained by the good people at SRF, to be replaced the the wholesome and divinely guided values, judgment and beliefs they created.

Wholesome beliefs such as keeping couples in conflict. Divine values such as "pink prison". The inspired judgment of having two women, both romantically involved with the leader, own church property instead of the church. Telling the congregation that the property owned by the president and vice president of the church are "places for the people". The righteous belief that work will set you free - work you'll perform for the benefit of the two Witches at the top of the spiritual trash heap without wages, without appreciation and without even a cup of coffee.. The divine guidance of stuffing the member's donations to the church into your own pocket because you believe you are truly "the body of the church" so that should entitle you to any of the money anyone gives to the church.

Does all that sound like something you'd rather not step in?  It should.  However to us, it sounded like heavenly truth.  It was divine inspiration.  To us, it sounded like anything but the lies, distortions and deception this collection of vomitus represented.

We turned off our bullshit detector. It took a while to turn it back on. It had to come on gradually. Turning it on full blast after all that would have been so shocking that it would not only turn our world upside down, we would probably have a stroke. Or maybe wind up like our friend "Santa".

Those who have recently departed - in fact, it appears all who have departed in the last two or so years, are having more than a little difficulty reconciling the poisonous and infective spiritual truths the Academy for Psychic Studies dug up from the pits of hell.  You see the same far-away look in their eyes when they reminisce about their past as the showed in their glory days living out the deranged principles, perverse values and warped morals they acquired at the Academy .

Their bullshit detector is turned off.  Actually, I'd say it's wired backwards: Academy for Psychic Studies bullshit is detected as truth, truth triggers a bullshit alert. Re-wiring it now or maybe anytime would be an impossibility for them.  The warped and unrealistic thinking of this group may be unnerving and annoying but at this point it's the only thing protecting them from a meltdown.  In their case, the truth will hurt so much, it can cause even more psychological trauma than retaining their cult thinking, not matter how bad and unproductive that thinking may be for them.

Ask any one of them if they saw the incongruity of having to provide regular adoration and a more-than-decent living to two women who give back no more than daily abuse and they will agree.  Tell them the abuse and exploitation is just one facet of a larger con game that included phony, misleading and outright deceptive missives disguised as esoteric truths for their personal spiritual ascendency and you will start a war.

The con game was so perfect, so smooth, so long-lasting and intense, their thinking and powers of reasoning had been re-wired into a form vastly different from their former selves.  It's a form the psychotic founder of the Academy for Psychic Studies counted on for the continuation of the con game.

When that psychotic recalled the morality taught him by his foster mother and saw her face as he reviewed the carnage he created and realized it was he alone who allowed two female monsters to emerge from his mad doctor laboratory, he dropped dead on the floor.  The two monsters, having been created in the environment of evil continued as monsters will do - in the relentless pursuit of their own interests with callous disregard of the needs of the people around them.

With the monsters now unleashed and their agenda exposed, a few have slowly restored their sense of discrimination.   Those are the ones who can reconcile their own truth and morality without dropping dead.  That is a much harder road to travel than keeping your bullshit discriminator on no matter what.


If there is one thing I would ask of you it would be to do as Hemingway said: “Develop a built-in bullshit detector.” Turn it on full blast. And keep it turned on. And never let anyone tell you it's wrong.

And if that detector rises while you read this blog, please post a comment.

The Academy For Psychic Studies - Quick Picks

We should all look as good as Helen Mirren.  

Some time ago, the Academy for Psychic Studies posted a hit piece on Steve Sanchez.   It appeared on their web site soon after his tell-all expose on the perverse inner workings of the Academy for Psychic Studies revealed conduct that is so cult-ish, there could be no question that they are indeed a dangerous cult.

The Academy For Psychic Studies posted an entire page for Steve, claiming he is mentally ill and their hope he would seek treatment.

Of course the brain-dead and the other drooling mouth-breathers who admire the Academy for Psychic Studies and its demented leaders clapped their hands in delight as they pissed themselves in celebration.

The rest of us thought differently.  That's because we have some amount of brain power left.

Here's our thinking:

First, who at the Academy for Psychic Studies is so well educated and so lavishly trained in mental illness they can diagnose someone they haven't seen in years?

Second, think of this:  the leaders of the Academy for Psychic Studies were infamous for their disdain of the mental health profession - unless the profession was their own ISHI Hypnosis, where you will be taught to sleep through life an $80 ISHI Hypnosis session at a time.

Third: Bill Duby (the founder of the Academy for Psychic Studies) was famed for waving his Medicare card in the air saying "I'm so insane, the government says I can't work!"  Bill also spoke frequently of "rescuing" Angela Silva (another founder) from a "nut house" and of her history of suicidal thinking and other such emotional problems.

Looking at the statement released about Steve Sanchez, you'd have to say it was at best uninformed and stupid and more likely defamatory and potentially libelous.

Why?

They didn't give a damn about Steve's mental health.  I know.  I was there and I spoke to the person who created the statement and Angela Silva about the statements and my concerns about potential liability.  The statement was said to be approved by the Academy's attorney, who's defamation complaint against me was DEFEATED quickly and easily - showing how much he really knows about that area of law (which, of course, is not much).

Basically, they defended their statement saying "We think it's true, and so it is - so fuck off, Kawahara.  You don't know jack shit about Steve or the law."

Well, I do know Steve.  I knew him well before he left and I know him even better now.  I also know enough of the law to have kicked the Academy for Psychic Studies' ass in court.

It's a good bet the Academy for Psychic Studies considers all those who have departed to be mentally ill.  Only this time, they aren't saying it publicly.

But I know from my experience with them, when someone asks about the less-than-flattering press, this blog's point of view, the truth known by ex-members and the compelling nature of our side of the story, Angela Silva (who would sidle up to you to mention she would be so very happy to "watch" your kids and take them to her special kindergarten while you are in class being pounded with a copy of "Cosmic Acid") and Robin Dumolin (who will speak with new members behind bullet-proof glass using an intercom, thrusting a bomb resistant tray through the pay-slot to collect cash), would certainly explain to the newbie in their own warm an nurturing way that you, me and all of us who left their petty tyranny belong in a mental hospital and they wish us well in our treatment and recovery.

Well you Witches: as you are so fond of saying: you read your own pictures.

And as I am fond of saying: he who smelt it, dealt it.

========================================

What does the news of the Spiritual Rights Foundation and the Academy for Psychic Studies moving closer towards oblivion say about their present situation?

Maybe the fact there are NO students in the Clairvoyant Training Program, fewer ministers than any time in their history, less interest than ever and more criticism than they can possibly fathom has something to do with their meltdown.

Or maybe it's because they are just plain storefront psychics who do little more than swing around a Foster Farms chicken for your $300 donation.  Nah, they wouldn't do that.  There are cheaper brands of chicken to swing around.  

Beats me, but I would imagine losing the defamation lawsuit they filed against me, you and all the people who participate in this blog may have been the bucket of cold water that melted the Wicked Witches of Ellsworth.

===============================================


I'm still wondering who's brave and knowledgeable enough to have posted the following comment:

...here is the truth about what Sherry was doing in her locked bookkeeping office. She was instructed to keep two sets of books for the church. One was the official set of books for the IRS and the other was what was actually going on, mainly all of the personal expenses of the leaders that were being paid for by the non-profit. How is that for the integrity of the spiritual leaders?

Now we know where the money is going

====================================================

  

Mind Altered or Mind Controlled? Never mind, they haven't got a mind left.

Things must be tough at SRF if
Robin Dumolin has to get a job...

So as this blog has presented our side of the Spiritual Rights Foundation Story, there has been the usual amount of nastiness and idiot comments.

Even before the infamous lawsuit, the addled and otherwise brain damaged followers were vowing to never read this blog. It looks like they are doing it still.  Every once in a while, someone will make a comment that clearly displays their own state of mind control and how deeply their thoughts and actions are entwined with the evil agenda of the leaders of the Academy for Psychic Studies.  I used to think they were breaking their vow but judging from the quality of their comments, it was apparent they haven't read a damn thing.

I've been told (and I am sure you already know) the trickle of departures turned into a tsunami and the Academy for Psychic Studies has lost nearly all their followers.  The reasons each escapee had to begin the process of "cutting the cords" and "making separations" varies.  One thing that binds them together, though, is an odd and deep hatred of this blog and what you and I have said here.

We've seen those comments here and I have heard more privately.  Email and phone calls from supporters of the cult we know as the Spiritual Rights Foundation clumsily express their disgust at what is said here.  They claim the enmity Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin create, the financial disparity they deliberately structured, the unfair and inequitable use of position power over their followers is untrue and we wouldn't understand it because we have deep spiritual/psychic wounds that require healing and they pray we receive the healing we need for the growth of our spirit.

You know it - you've seen it.  I know it - they tell it to me all the time.

Does it bother me?  What, are you kidding?

It's satisfying to see not only did one party to the lawsuit against me finally pull the ripcord to safety, every one of the people who have made a comment in support of the Spiritual Rights Foundation have left the compound, never to return and those who got involved in less than the highest levels of abuse just never went back.

Yet, many of them (well nearly all of them) are continually critical of the very blog that has exposed the destructive and exploitative practices that prompted them to leave in the first place.  That means: they recently-departed still didn't read this blog but they DID realize they were indeed experiencing all the things I write about.

I have heard about people looking for someone to blame for the destruction of their sacred and holy place.  They want to find the person responsible for the cascading failure caused by the mass departures and the crumbling of the SRF empire.

At this point, it's me.

What this blog's activities have to do with anyone at that evil cult leaving is beyond, well, anyone.  What this blog has done to cause the cult's current meltdown when the departed members have chosen to not read it before they left or even now after departing takes the leap of reason and logic only the unfortunate entranced followers of SRF can accomplish (and it's obvious they don't understand it, even if they did read it).

But that all makes sense to the recently-departed.  It works in the Witches favor as well, although Angela is so enraptured at Macy's and Robin too absorbed with counting quarters to realize it.

If the Witches DID realize they can turn their lemon into lemonade, they might have used this blog as a rallying point to reform their dysfunctional organization and reorganize their practices to refute all that is said here and to create visible, tangible evidence they have turned a new leaf and are indeed not the evil people we know they are and don't do the destructive things we are sure they do.

But that would make sense.

Instead, it's all too obvious the Witches of Ellsworth have continued to do all the things they say they do not and are exactly the kind of people who need to be separated from the decent and honest working people of the world.


Whether that separation is made with an iron gate or prison bars doesn't matter to me.  I'll bet it doesn't matter to you either.

No matter what, the Witches of Ellsworth will always look for someone to take the blame.  They always have.  Their Kangaroo Kourt ensured a guilty party would be found and punished no matter if that person is purely innocent and no matter what the evidence points to.  In fact, the guilty party was tried and convicted in absentia after he or she was publicly flogged, drawn and quartered and sent to the SRF penal facility in Bethel Island.  Even when there was no guilty party, a scapegoat would be found.

So if you believers in symbolism think back a bit, you may recall they had quite an interest in filling their "Blue Sky Ranch" with dozens, hundreds of goats.  You may also recall, most of them wound up thrown in a hole after they were killed from neglect.

Maybe the scapegoats were all located at Bethel Island?  If you believe in symbolism, maybe the only shortcoming at the Blue Sky Ranch was there wasn't enough goats to absorb all the hate and blame going around.

As there isn't anyone to look after so much as the weeds at the Blue Sky Ranch, the animals are probably abandoned to make it on their own or otherwise disposed of.  I guess if there aren't any animals for the Witches and their followers to take out their frustrations, they'll use whoever is convenient.

So, I propose you do like the occupy movement - give the Witches as many targets as possible.  Make it known they are no longer in control.  Write them a "fuck you" card.  You don't have to send it - in fact, unless you are really pissed at them, keep it to yourself.  That card will help you achieve the independence of thought and action you've been craving for a long time now.  Since the Spiritual Rights Foundation is on the skids, I think it's the time to do as they did to us: kick 'em while they're down.
