Robert – The family didn’t want money. They wanted changes made to MKP. They got some of those changes – and they took less money in order to make those changes. They were hoping to protect others from suffering the way Michael did – they didn’t care about the money. You obviously have no clue – just trying to make MKP look good, huh? Guess you enjoy dancing nude with a bunch of men while the leaders play games with your mind. You don’t even know you’re being played. I feel bad for you.

A $75,000 settlement for a wrongful death claim with confidentiality breached by the decedent’s family only means that there was virtually no liability and a “cost of defense” was paid to close a chapter on a disturbed man’s death. To interprete the settlement in any other manner is to not understand the legal system and insurance companies.

In my opinion, this settlement is very weak to the point of being useless. David, I have no idea what being 50 has to do with safety. I am not so interested in safety as I am honesty and awareness. For a group that claims an interest in “clearing,” “getting it” and awareness, they excell at keeping people in the dark. I welcome this little ray of light and hope others will find the truth about MKP.

Thanks for the update, Warren.

Informed consent seems reasonable.

I am turning 50 this year…and it seems to me for all of our safety needs we are losing the opportunities to be surprised and learn.

NWTA helped me see how angry I was at men and authority by creating an environment where my assumptions would come forward quickly. I am forever grateful, because it has helped me move past those assumptions and toward collaboration.

I have a deeper respect for what other men have overcome, contributed and created. I still have a long way to go…
