Steve's story

by Steve Stewart  <steve@stevestewart.icom43.net>

Hi.    Thank you for your web site.    I am 51 years old and I have just recently been on a weekend introductory course at Tvind.   (My motive?   I wanted to be of service to my fellow man).    I have been in business most of my life, (sometimes successful, sometimes not).   We are all naive to some extent but I was able to read through the Teachers at Tvind almost immediately.   I have had a lot of experience in life, considerably more than a lot of those keen, looking to do some good and wanting to travel younger persons invited to Tvind's house of doom.   I could sit back and laugh to myself at the Teachers' performance.   Nothing more than a sales pitch and a very poor one at that.   It was totally apparent from the beginning that this was some form of a con.   But what could it be?   I could recognize straight away that the teachers were parrot fashioned brain-washed, reading the old script of a sales pitch.

Time to walk away and so should anyone else that had any form of common sense but there were a lot of people moving through this institution ( I say institution rather than CULT because up to then I had not read your site or did I  know any back-ground history of Tvind).

But a lot of people genuinely wanted to contribute and be involved.   My immediate thought was why should so many wanting to give of themselves to help others be denied of doing so because of a lot of brain-washed crooks (But then life is like that).

Here is my question. With all those people that really want to do some good out there, is it not possible to set up a genuine charity organization here in the UK (I say in the UK because I don't think an organization could get away with what they have done here in the UK I hope I am not that naive).   If your site is right (and I believe that it is ) then they are stealing from the public of this country who want to donate.

Could not a genuine Charity be set up through contact from your web site?

I  [was] due to go to Denmark in April to start with Humana but of course I will not because I see no point.  At first I thought I would go, just to exploit them, but I can not see how.   I see it as a no-win situation for anyone who takes them on and perhaps it could be dangerous (The danger does not deter me but I can see no achievement to be made).

Again, could a genuine charity be set up using your web site?   I think it would need to start with a least ten people. Ten would become twenty, twenty would become one hundred.  Then perhaps something could be done properly What do you think?   You must have a lot of people who want to do something visiting your site.

I personally would be very interested in becoming involved in the setting up of such an organization.

There are numerous ways of fund-raising and I am sure that many of your site visitors would have some perhaps new or inspirational ideas in this direction that could prove effective. But more importantly, would not be demoralizing or dangerous to the volunteer participants, such as selling post cards and magazines, which is effectively begging on the street.

I could not understand Humana's approach to helping the poor of the Third World by inducing poverty on the volunteer helpers and reducing them to demoralized beggars. Of-course with hindsight it becomes clear that it is a brainwashing control technique, of no use to anyone other than the beneficiaries.

I personally have numerous ideas which I would be more than happy to disclose but I think the manifestation of such a new organization would need between 10 and 20 dedicated initiators to form a committee.  WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I have now decided not to become involved with Humana (Group) at any level. so now feel free to use my thoughts and name as you think necessary and fit. Perhaps if it takes your liking we could work together on the fruition of this idea.

Regards Steve Stewart.
