I was speaking with a friend this past week about our experiences at the family school. He and I hooked up through some alumni channels, and he is from the old times whereas I am a more recent graduate. Neither of us are attend A.A. or any other group of that caliber. While we were at the school felt pressure to consider ourselves some sort of addict. Anyways he made a statement that what he learned at the Family School is to “Tell the truth, say your prayers, and help other people.” For the past several days this has been resonating in my head. I have never been able to sum it up, but this was indeed my experience. The staff and students alike strive to achieve the four absolutes on a daily basis. In addition to that we have the 10 Commandments, and the 7 Deadly sins to look to as how to live our life appropriately, but I think this statement sums up the experience in a nutshell.  Anyone have any thoughts on this:

Tell the truth, say your prayers and help other people
