Mountain Park Baptist Boarding Academy

• Absurd Inurbane Witless

Mountain Park's founder, the Rev. Bob Wills, previously ran a Hattiesburg, Miss., school that was sued in 1982 for allegedly paddling pregnant teens and detaining a 19-year-old against her will. A settlement required changes at the school, but Wills ultimately closed it and relocated to Missouri in 1987.

I when to Mount Park for nineteen month, and it was not until I recieved the Lord that I realize that what I though was people help others, as really very cruel and tormented the people until they gave up and conformed. Now I am glad that Mountain Park, and Palm lane are closed.

This place is a poor demonstration of Tough Love. These kind of places teach parents that if things get rough send them somewhere else. If a parent is doing there job right you should never have to send them else where. You buck up and take what is given to you and solve things together as a family. The only thing I got out of that place is that when life send you hard times you send them somewhere else. Samantha

Although for the ten months that I was there I wanted nothing more than to come home, Palm Lane saved my life. There were definitely some harsh punishments, but as a rebellious teen, that's what I needed. I don't believe there was any reason to shut down Palm Lane or Mountain Park. The Lord worked some awesome miracles in that place, including saving my life. Thank you Palm Lane. Your efforts will always be remembered by myself and my family. -Katie

I went to Mt.Park for 2 yrs. They did nothing but sacrifice their lives to see young people come to Christ and have a change of life.They never did any thing to hurt us,abuse us or anything like that and when we cleaned and stuff they helped us we all worked together, even staff.When I was their I talked about going home and making up all kinds of stuff to get them in trouble,but then I got saved! I know what these people are saying isn't true!

not all my feelings about mountain park are bad. in fact i have some wonderful memories of the place. to be honest though, A LOT of things happened there that should never have happened. so im glad, actually more than just glad, that MP and PL are shut down. that means that no more kids will have to go thru that other survivors were forced to go thru.

Mountain Park changed my life. I may not live my life exactly as I was taught there, but overall I would never change my time there as both student and staff. My biggest regret about it closing is that other young people won't get the opportunity that I did.

I attended Mountain Park Baptist Boarding Academy from March of 1995 until May of 1996. I was there when Will Futrelle was murdered. I took part in the rally to keep them afloat at that time. Recently, I did everything I could to help get them shut down. I am still suffering from PTSD and constant nightmares. Please pray for me. Please don't ever send your kids away.

I was at Bethesda in 1984-1985. It did alot of damge. I don't know if I will ever forgive my bio parents for sending me there. God does not want teens abused in his name.I have nightmares and PTSD still from that place. May God forgive them because I never will

to "RED" WHO POSTED ON DEC 29 THAT MP MAY STILL BE IN OPERATION: IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE FIND OUT IF THEY ARE INFACT REOPEN. I figured this might happen because criminals and scammers do this when they've been "chased out of the state" and what not. Please post the MP’s 2005 School enrolement figures so that we can all have a look. Chances are, that if they are running, they will use the same properties.

I was at Redemption Ranch in Mississippi back in 1976-1977. Brother Wills operated this boys home also with Mrs Betty and Brett. I was sixteen years old at the time and have to say that the stay there turned my life around. I took what I had learned there and applied it to my life. I am now 46 years into my life and don't regret ever going there. I did learn disipline and how to pray. I wonder sometimes how are my buddies doing now like ol' woody,Franky, you know who you are . Truly I believe they were doing the work of the LORD'

I was in Redemption Ranch 79-81. I do remember well my time there. Had I not gone there I probably would not be alive today. I am now 40 years old have had a wonderful life and am highly decorated and respected member of the Army. I learned many good moral and ethical lessons while there. Some say a pddling is abusive...get over it! I have seen abuse. You say you freedom and liberty was taken...I have seen this also. You lost nothing and gained everything.

I attended Mountain Park in 1995-1996. I resent the fact that for a whole year of my life I was so sheltered. While most teenagers are attending school dances, football games, going to movies, and getting their driver's licence I was locked up in a hell hole. I can never get that time back in my life or those memories. To this day I resent my parents for sending me ther and those feelings will always stay hidden inside me. As a parent now I have learned that when children are being bad and rebellious it is really a cry for help and attention. Sending them away and pushing them away does not help their relationships, their problems, or their self esteem. I would never disown my daughter or turn my back on her. I went in the military when I turned 19 and the brainwashing from the US military isn't as severe as MP.

Hey there, i've been researching mountain park and bestheda for just over a year now and am interested in any first hand information i can get from former residents. specifically if there were any known escpaes and how they succeded or romances and how they were dealt with. thank you, you can email me at juicystrawberrychild@hotmail.com thanks

I went by Palm Lane Academy last week. They took the fences down, there is a school bus parked where the Wills' used to park their big travel bus. There's a white car in front of a mobile home where the Gerhardt's daughter, Rachel used to live, and there's a big lock on the gate. No signs of operation.

Posted by: anonymous | February 21, 2005 1:54 AM

I wrote in Decemeber. I am positive that Mountain Park Boarding Academy is in operation in MO at its original location. If you phone their former number - the school number used before the place was shut down in May of last year, you will answered by active staff. The people who have rendered little information, claim that a new party is currently "renting" the property from Willis until they can purchase it. If Willis doesn't have the money to pay off court mandated awards to victims, how is it that he continues to own multi-million dollar real estate and receive huge rent supplements? Please, if anyone has the power to investigate or talk to pertinent law enforcement or connected ligitation attorneys, please please DO IT NOW. I eagerly await an update.

For Rachel Friedman since her name is attached to the following: Posted by: Rachel Friedman on October 14, 2004 01:40 AM Mountain Park changed my life. I may not live my life exactly as I was taught there, but overall I would never change my time there as both student and staff. My biggest regret about it closing is that other young people won’t get the opportunity that I did. What opportunity did you get that you regret that other youg people will miss? (Didn't you & MIKE PARDOS get MARRIED while you were both on STAFF at Mountain Park? Wasn't MIKE PARDOS a self-confessing HOMOSEXUAL? Didn't you and MIKE get DIVORCED?) Could you elaborate and tell us how Mountain Park views DIVORCEES and HOMOSEXUALS? How long were you and MIKE MARRIED before you SEPARATED and why didn't your marriage to MIKE work out?

This mail is for Cloe Benz. I have recently visited mp...They are NOT in operation. there are still a few epople in the gerhardt family there keeping watch over the property until it is sold...But it is not in operation

Mountain Park has housed staff and students since at least the beginning of Decemeber, 2004. If you present anything else as fact, you are a liar. Mountain Park property is running, even if it isn't dba as "Mountain Park"... Phone the number - enlighten yourself.

hey there all you 95-97 fellow students this is Ed Lorenzen. For all the guys I was the 11 yr old kid out there and I thought I would go ahead and put my comment in on MT park since everyone else is for starters I am gratefull for them and all even though I didnt always agree with them. But we really cant complain because we all made it through there one way or another. Hey for the guys out there if you remember Trevor Spencer and Denis Maclwrath they are now runnin there own boys home and doin very well Trevor was just married and Denis is still single.

Mountain Park for me at the time was horrible. I hated it there. Once I graduated from there, I came directly home and started using drugs, heavily. I started shooting heroin and meth. I got pregnant and had my baby with me while I was living on the streets. Everynight before I went to bed I would pray to God and ask him to help me. I finally got arrested, lost my child to cps and was put into an inpatient substance abuse program for 6 months. During that time I was involved in therapy and counciling and came to the realization that the only reason I hated mountain park at the time was because I was forced to go there. I realize now that it was not the school that I hated, but the fact that I was so lost as a child, I had to be sent somewhere to be found. I was saved at mountain park and now I am so greatful for that. Even though I slipped away from the Lord, he once again gave me another chance. I have been clean from all mind and mood altering substances for 11 months now, and I regained custody of my daughter. I attend church regullarly and I am starting college very soon. I was shocked to hear that the school is closing. I wish the best to brother wills and mrs. wills. To the students that were in the school with me, I would love to talk to you. Thank you for listening.

Whoever that stupid curious person is, I just talked to Rachel Friedman a few months ago over e-mail and she and Mike are happily married attending a Christian university. Don't you have anything better to do than mess with people's heads? Get a life.

Posted by: Mary Burwell | May 6, 2005 6:58 PM

Mike Pardos is straight and Rachel and he are still married attending a Christian University.

Posted by: Mary Burwell | May 6, 2005 7:03 PM

Actually I just looked at the e-mail I got from Rachel again and I had thought she had mentioned Mike but she didn't and she said she is going to college but didn't say if it was Christian and she is going to church but she doesn't go by the name Pardos so I don't know but it's not my business. If all that is true I feel really bad for Rachel.

Posted by: Mary Burwell | May 6, 2005 8:20 PM

"I don’t know but it’s not my business. ... Don’t you have anything better to do ... Get a life." You don't know. It isn't your business. Don't you have anything better to do like getting a life?

I love Mountain Park, and I'm very sad that it closed. I will always love the Gerheardt, Wills, OBriants, and the rest. If you were a student at Mountain Park or Palm Lane, come join the Mountain Park group on Myspace.com! Doesnt matter if you are a friend or foe, we're all there!

Posted by: Erin Shanahan | May 18, 2005 12:35 AM

I attended Mt. Park for only four months, out of those four months i must say were the most miserable four months of my life. While at Mt.Park I witnessed things that I could not believe were actually happening, things like girls being restrained on the floor for mouthing off or just back talking, students screaming at the top of their lungs for help and being forced to take cold showers and even being watched. Everyday all day I was constantly being followed and ridiculed for looking at someone whom i was to have no contact with or even something as small as saying the word "pants". Mt. Park stripped me of all of my rights and secluded me from the outside world, instead of calling a school like this a safe haven I would have called it something more along the lines of a cult. Mt.Park had no form of reasonable education and set me back from other kids my own age. Those first four months felt like years and I am happy to say that today I am living the life of a "princess" (as those at Mt Park sometimes would refer to me as sarcasticly) I live by myself in a one bedroom apartment with my puppy, Tyson. I will be entering my second year of college in the fall and then transfering to a University for my Junior year. After all I can honestly say that my life has turned out just fine and I have God and NOT Mt.Park to thank for that!

Posted by: Krystal Nelson | June 9, 2005 12:16 AM

What is up everyone? Well, all those entries of people was very interesting...glad to know that everyone is alright. I was pretty freaked out when I read that about Mike Pardos...I hope that is not true. He was my brother, Jon Hageman's, orientation guide. I graduated in 2001 and am thankful everyday that I don't have to wake up in that prison...I don't care how many people say that they 'love it and they will miss'. Guess what, I DONT!!!! Any way, not trying to bust anyone's bubble, that is just hard to comprehend. Don't get me wrong, I have been through a lot of things since I have been out of there. Mountain Park did nothing but push me away from God when I got out. I am just now starting to reconcile my relationship w/Him. Let me tell you, life is hard when you come out of a prison shell and shoved straight into reality, not knowing how to take your next step without someone telling you how to do it. Everyone was ruled by ridicule, low self-esteem tactics, and their cult image...not the love of God. I didn't know what love was for a long time, because the'love' that they had was to make us feel low when we were down. I am going to be a Paramedic next year, really helping others, not putting on a show.

Posted by: Jocelyn Hageman | July 19, 2005 2:15 PM

I am sorry, my brother, Jon, was Mike's orientation guide when Mike got in trouble. You know what I mean. Holla!!!

the only way anyone could still be defending these criminals(wills,gerharts)is if they are still under the influnce of brainwashing techniques.i realize some people need someone to tell them what to do, but im not one of them. i was sent to redemption ranchin '77.not because i was a criminal,i wasent doing anything bad.my father had a drinking prob.and i would get nightly beatings.so my mother told me i was going to a summercamp for two weeks.see,if i was living in a house of love,understanding and trust.i would have done o.k. at the time of my deportation i had a job and a girlfriend.and all that was taken awaybecause my parents could not take responsability.from the moment i got there i was ridiculed.i said im only here for 2 weeks,and everybody was laughing.nobody deserves to be treated that way.i think its horrible that people who lived through these gulags are still defending them,can you say stockholm syndrome? anyway im glad redemptionprison was shut down its too bad that those peoplewho ran it are not imprisoned.if i learned anything there its that "god"is a human invention.andit was invented to gain control over others through fear and intimadation. feel free t e-mail me at audiomaniacle@yahoo.com paul mazur a.k.a. natureboy r.r. 77-79

I came across this sight looking for the old site Mt Park Horrors. I guess that it is gone. But I am glad that I saw this because I got to read entries from two of the sweetest people that I knew during my stay from 96-97. Erin Shannahan and Joclyn Hageman. I am glad to know that you both made it out and are standing on your OWN two feet. Haha. you guys were in the "cool girls" group with me. I have got a million bad things to say about Mt Park. But I am not going to. Dwelling on it will only make me sad/mad about all the things I have spent the past eight years trying to forget. But I will say that I really miss some of the people that I met there. I hate how they wouldnt "let" us be friends and talk. But we always found ways around that. I remember making up codes to write down phone numbers in my bible. How proud I was of myself the day I left knowing that I had phone numbers and pictures and addresses of people I wanted to talk to when I got home. Those are the things I think of when I think of Mt. Park. As we all know, The good lord gives us what we deserve. So if Mt Park and Palm Lanes are shut down, (which I hope they are) Then they got what they deserved. Holla Back Joclyn

hey guys how are you all doing me i am fine. i won't lie i didn't have that much of a problem with mountain park while i was there. but after i left i realized a whole lot fuck that school they ruined my life. i am the most outgoing outspoken person and when i got out of there i had been use to being locked up for so long i didn't know how to respond to the world i was living in. they gone talk about we are seperated from the world but they are depriving themselves because we all have to live in this world so what part they missing and yes i did survive i am currently stuck in dallas all i got else to say is i hope they rebuild new orleans soon please respond

Im over it.....it was not fun, it was a horrible place to be. I met the Lord there. I went back to my old ways after I left (well...worse) Im a well rounded grown woman who has two beautiful children and a great husband. I got over it, I forgave my parents...they didnt know what to do with me. I wouldnt do it to my children, but emotionaly healthy people get over rape, starvation, and much much worse. Compared to some things Mt. Park was a piece of cake.

Posted by: Katy Conley (Belhumeur) | September 16, 2005 1:44 PM

Hey, guys! I went looking for my high school transcripts and found this! I guess after reading some of these stories, I'd consider myself one of the lucky ones. Sending me to MPBA wasn't the first time my parents betrayed my trust, so I guess it didn't effect me like it did some of you. I was there from '96-'97, and my story is about the same as the rest of them, cold showers, chores, and lots and lots of riddicule. I was always made to feel bad about the way I looked. I've never been a conceited person, but because society would consider me a 'pretty' girl, I was always threatened to have my make-up taken from me. To this day I could never understand why. Even though we all have our horror stories we all walked away from this with some kind of lesson learned. Since MP I have been married and divorced with a beautiful little girl to show for it. 3 years after my divorce, I met a wonderful man (it takes a strong man to involve themselves with a woman with a child) and married him. We now have our first child on the way, due in April of '06. My advice to those of you who still hurt from this goes along with Emily Jones (what's up girl!?)If you continue to dwell on the past, you'll never be able to create a positive future. Whether the lessons you've learned were negetive or positive, they were lessons and nothing more, learn from them and move on. I know I learned a great deal of lessons from my experience and have applied these lessons in a positive light to my life. I was hoping to hear from Sam, from CA. and Caitlyn McAllister, from Wa. Anyway, I wish you all the best!!

Hello to everyone, I attended MP from 97' to 99'. Just like most who attended MP, I resented every second I spent isolated from the world. I even have reoccuring nightmares about going back. I don't agree with all their teaching methods, but it was the only effective way for me to see who the Lord is, and what He can do in ones life. When I left, I fell hard and deeper back into my old lifestyle. I hit rock bottom, but by God's grace, He gave me another chance. He opened my eyes, and I gave myself to HIm 3 years after I left. He helped me clean up, and start a new life. Now I am buying my own townhouse, I am back in college, I have a great job, a wonderful fiance', my relationship with my parents is very close now, and most importantly, I have the love of the Lord in my heart. I owe everything to Him for never giving up on me. Thank You to all the former staff of MP for giving me your time and love.

I just don't "get it" - HOW AND WHY is MOUNTAIN PARK allowed to continue housing/teaching/brain-washing "troubled teens" to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars received tuition - were they not JUSTIFYIABLY shut down? Are the proper authorities ignoring the situation? Same owner, same "main man" in charge - underqualified staff in a lock down compound. Does anyone understand or have some insight? I'm dying to know how this can be allowed to continue. And don't bother to tell me the school is closed - I have proof its been running since at least November of LAST year. What gives? I am very concerned for the students there. Is there ANY WAY the basic principles, guidelines or treatment of students has dramatically improved to a nurturing environment with the same owner who other states managed to "run out of their state?"

Posted by: Chloe Benz | September 30, 2005 12:44 PM

i feel like mt park did some good in my life but it has been God not a school that changed my life. and as for the school it self i have to agree with ed yeah we all made it out of there one way or another! it's just sad that one of us had to leave in a body bag!

Posted by: Siobhan Odem | October 3, 2005 1:05 AM

I was a student at MP April 99-April 2000. I along with two other male students, stole Gachel Gerharts car while we were washing it. To make a long story short, i got kicked out, I am pretty sure I am one of the few to get booted. Let me know if you remember me.

Posted by: Nathan McDonald | October 3, 2005 9:46 AM

I have read most of what is above even my own, I know that what happen at Mount Park was what the Wills and Gerharts believe was to be done in their heart!!! Wheather they believe ow is up to them!!! Yes, I believe that after I got out I was for the lack of a better theme lost, because I was given choice that I did not have before, it was hard for me to understand what to do Therefore I went in back inside my mind to protect my self. I am now more greatful that I was about to learn about this way of thinking, because it has help me open my mind to other things!! I must say that it is hard for me to lets some of the things that I learn and was though were good, and I won't, because out of that I have learn to be strong, and wise!!! you never know what is coming at you until it hit you in the nose!! I glad still that the school have close, because they are really not of any good, because if the rapture had happen the would alot of people gone!! I know I would be, not because I as saved, because I becasue that everyone is important to God, and a sin is not stealing, it is falling short of a goal you have been given, and to repent is to go back and do it right!! I have fallen short many time, but I know that I can always get back up again, and start again !! i don't mean go rob a bank and then take that money back. I know that!! Keep that virtue, not that rule for that ton pound rule book. If you have those the other things are just there. Life is hard and I know that with out Mount Park I would not have been about to see the things I do now!! I would not be the person I am. I am not bitter anymore, and I don't think that Mount Park was that best place either. Life is Hard! and unfair. I have learn much more than I wish to tpye, but there is more than just God out there!!!

Posted by: Lissa | October 6, 2005 12:15 PM

The Wills' started their ministry in 1972 in Mississippi where schools were not required to license with the state. They left Mississippi and arrived in Missouri because Missouri exempted well-known religious groups (baptists) from licensing. The real issue here is licensing. Mountain Park staff were not trained to deal with children, nor were the Wills required to maintain any state standards in regards to education, fire code or physical or mental health of the children. Licensing is the issue at the center of all this. Bob Wills opposes licensing because he claims it means control. Licensing protects children and sets standards that a group can agree on. Be ware that President Bush's charter program would grant schools like Mountain Park, who have no license to operate and are exempted because of their church-affliated status, tax payer money with his charter program. If you really want to stop schools like Mountain Park from abusing their power and anonymity, it's licensing and govt. money that needs monitoring.

Posted by: tuyen tran | October 27, 2005 8:25 PM

Hi, I went to MP from 92-95. It is just so wreid to sit here and read all of these letters of hate and dislike of MP. I have no regret of going to MP in fact it saved my life most likely.I was never harmed in anyway and as far as for the paddle well I didn't have a problem with it. I was around when girls got paddled and they weren't screaming bloody murder either,and they were not beaten down with it. It would be like a spanking from your parents only a little harder and maybe not in some cases depending how you were dealt with at home. It was normal for you to dislike it there when you first get there, most of the time it would take a girl from a couple of weeks to several months to start joining in and excepting your enviroment and not fighting it all the dang time. I can honestly say that I loved being there. I had my troubles and I was able to get through them mostly concerning schoolwork. Thanks to MP I was able to graduate the year I was supposed to. I would just like to say thankyou very much to Momma and Papa Wills and the staff for taking me in and dealing with my attitudes and so forth. I miss the good times there, playing sports and swimming and all them good homecooked meals. I actually miss being there, going into town to some of the restuarants especially in Sikeston, Lamborts home of the thrown rolls, best rolls I have ever had. Going on trips to other churchs and going camping was so much fun. I understand there were some rules that alot of people didn't like, but where in the world can you go that doesn't have rules that you don't agree with, you just get over it right, right. I was not there when all of this bad stuff was happening to the kids, for it wasn't like that to me when I attended from 92-95, but I sympathize for those who claim they went through all of those terrible things in the afore mentioned letters. I would just like to say that I am and always will be greatful for MP, for having been sent there saved my life from a path of hell and destruction. For I now have 2 beautiful children and a wonderful husband. If anyone by chance would know how to get a hold of high school transcripts that would be great help. I need to find out what my GPA was and what my ACT scores were.

Im from Piedmont Patterson area and I went by MP last night there were a lot of cars at the place. Lights on in serveral houses. Although from my understanding the place is no longer in operation as MP, there is another group renting the place until their place that they are building as a christian resort is finished. The place they are building is on a near by mountain top. I do know that they place is for sale for several million dollars. My aunt is considering buying the place to make it into a place for foster children.

Something is fishy in Missouri Mountain Park Academy Owners and or Staff illegally medicated a family member with thorazine (chlorpromazine) and mellaril. I'm not saying that all the children were drugged, but I do know that some were and there is more than the one drug test, more than one hair test, and more than one child. These tests were also done at different periods of time, with different medical establishments. It is a real shame that the Wills/Gerhardts are deceiving so many with the lies they have told. I wonder how life is going for them in Newport, Tn. Ezekiel 7:25

hey everyone i use to attend ABM Ministries in until the court tried to close us down then we went to tennesse till they found us then we went to missouri and stayed at Mountain Park and i didnt know anything about Mountain Parks past about the killings of the teens and when i was there me and some of the other girls would hear foot steps at night and there was sensors on the floor so if someone got up it would go off but when we heard the steps the sensors didnt go off one night i was up and all of sudden by bed started to shake like a 300 pound person walked right next to my bed i sat up and at the same time the girl in the bed next to me sat up to she felt it to. We had no contact of the outside world so no one knew of its past all of the students would say the felt something, herad something, or saw something and when we told a staff member they would say theres no such thing as ghosts and we would get punished. Mr. Gerheart use to be our teacher for a couple months until Mr.Larry found another teacher and when we would talk about the ghosts he would just look at us with a blank stare and tell us to stop talking. i new i had to get out of there so on the next home visit i told my mom i refused to go back and she didnt make me i was there for 10 months (september 2004-July 2005)and they still have all of my stuff like my cloths, pictures, cell phone, stuffed animals, backpack and other stuff. My mom tried contacting them since i left to send my stuff and she cant get ahold of them so if anyone knows where there new location is please tell me when i was there they were building a new building in a trailor park in the woods like 20 mins away from Mountain Park if you have any info please email me at Shortn2cute4u7@yahoo.com thank you P.S. Kelsey if you read this just to let you know i didnt forget about you i tried to look up your number to call your mom and get you out of there but i couldn't find it im sorry i miss you and hope your ok

I was in Bethseda Home for Girls. It was a definite turning point in my life. I did have to follow the rules and was forced to read the bible. Although who can actually force you to do anything you don't want. Attitude is all key. When I think about it. I myself was tired of being a loser and wanted something more of my life. Thank God for my mom who never gave up on me and prayed continually for me. Like I said I didn't like all that was said. I was never abused physically by the staff or any of the girls there. Sometimes the truth has a way of cutting right to the heart. God's word doesn't leave any room. Yes, people make mistakes but if you dwell on the word it can and will change you for the better. Or you can refuse it and go your own way and the word will eat right through you and you'll hate yourself for rejecting the truth. God's Word is the truth and its the only way to go. Don't decieve yourself and think your selfish ways and your friends love you. No one can love a person like God. Open your heart and ask him to show you his word and his love. Stop looking at other people and making excuses for your bitterness and how you have screwed up your life. Your the one that chooses. You live with your choices. I choose God not myself and its ironic how God gives life even to the areas that I myself have killed. He is the one that gives life and builds it back up again. I thank God for people who are willing to make mistakes with the intention that God will work through them. That definetly was the Will's intention. It wasn't to harm anyone. That's a no brainer.

I was on my way to dieing before I was sent there. If mama and papa every see this. THANK YOU SSOOO MUCH! I still love Jesus and am walking in the light and so is my family.

PRIOR TO BEING TRICKED INTO GOING TO MTN PARK,I KNEW I WAS HUNGRY FOR SOMETHING BUT WAS CLUELESS AS TO WHAT IT WAS,UNTIL I CAME TO KNOW JESUS AS MY SAVIOR. I WAS TRUELY AT PEACE WITH MYSELF,MY CHEEKS WOULD ACHE FROM SMILING SO MUCH ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS-MY JOY WAS INDESCRIBABLE...I THANK GOD FOR CHOSING ME,AND LOVING ME-EVEN WHEN I CANT SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY I STILL CONSTANTLY GO THROUGH THINGS-I KNOW THAT GODS GONNA USE ME-IM THANKFUL THAT I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ALL I DID. IT WAS THE HAPPIEST TIME OF MY LIFE...

What I want to know is...why my first comment was deleted? Is it because I stand firm with how I feel about Mountain Park and ALL of its staff? GO AHEAD, single me out....I love these families for taking care of me and caring about my life when no one else was willing to do so. I owe a great deal to these people. I hope that my opinion is respected and left for everyone to see this time around. If there were to be anyone to say anything about MP it would be me, being that I attended MP for 3 yrs and 8 months and I was never mentally abused nor druged. I graduated from MP and stayed a little while afterwards with my brother-I cant speak for him but as far as I know, he's mentally stable-even after that terrible murder we stood firm. I know everything sounds so choppy-Im just throwing thoughts out there, seeing that the first comment I so well composed was vanished! If Mama, Papa, Mrs. Debbie, Bro Sam, Bo or Rachael read this, please know that I still think of myself as part of your family and hope to be in touch with you.

"She was one of the judges of my cheerleading experience when I was in the eighth grade," Hill testified. Asked whether they were friends, Hill said no, but "I would see her and her then-boyfriend ... walk around school together because he was in football and she was a cheerleader or letter girl, something like that." Joyner later married John Joyner; the two separated before her death. Police said John Joyner is not the boyfriend Hill believed was stolen from her. The medical board blamed Hill for Joyner's death, calling her "grossly negligent" in administering fentanyl without the plastic surgeon's permission and for taking too long to alert the doctor that Joyner was having problems. The plastic surgeon took responsibility for the death in a 2003 agreement with the board but kept his license. Hill gave hers up.

My stay at mountain park boarding academy was from 1990 sept-1991May) I do not know why but I was not alloud to wear my hair curly I have natural curly hair I was told by The Wills that it was (worldly)umm I was supose to be followed by a girl leader which was one of the residents for 2 weeks well the Wills decided I would be follwed for 2 months.showers ,bathroom,breakfast lunch,dinner etc)I witnessed hearing a girl get wacked over and over by the wooden paddle and then saw her come out beaten up (scared me) then I saw Brother Wills pick a huge girl up by the shirt collar and he had her in the air smashed on the wall(scared me)I was driven up by folks at the age of 16 I came there a catholic...according to their beliefs there is no belief according to there enlightment of the super natural. I was saved by the Holy Ghost in year 2000 and I dont know the Wills may have grown spiritually since 1990 belief system but according to their belief system in 1990 I recall none belief of the miraculus and super natural..which I recieved from in year 2000. what im trying to say is...when you have to be bound down in peoples own interpertation of bible teaching there can be trouble there may be brain washing to their own command and not Gods.there may be teaching and running programs out of their own personal deception and because they are in their own deception they think you are in deception and that they are right which is very dangerous and sad..the whole idea is God being able to work with a indivisual with the Holy spirit doing the teaching and not man made deception ..everything I try in this life only leads me right back to the main source. The wonderful thing for me is while sitting in mountain park boarding academy my ears heard the words of the bible and it has stayed in my memory. So in year 2000 when I got saved for real because it was by God himself I was then able to have the Holy spirit reveal all truth to me for my own benefit and in my case for the benefit of others I do not hate the wills by any means we are not to hate the person ever but the deception that operates in people. Every time I saw women wearing pants when I came home from school I thought they were of the devil..or every time I saw or heard people clap there hands I thought they were of the devil..every time I saw people having a good time I thought they were of the devil...which I came to believe was not truth from a loving creator...I happen to love to wear my skirts and I happen to enjoy to be modest but not to a point where Im radically insane .Pants are beautiful also. If I did not know what sorrow was I would not know what joy was if I did not know what laugher is I would not know what crying is If I did not know what happyness was I would not know what depression was . It is impossiable to dictate how a person will be saved from them selves and when only the almighty can do those things it all boils down to self resposibilty with God . My thought is why or how can anyone think that they are going to make matters better by taking physical action on a human Jesus didnt do that Jesus let his father in heaven have vengeance and vengeance happens when one is out of Gods ability to pertect you so by taking matters into your own hands your causing danger to come around the block for your self that goes for any one in high places low places priests pastors teachers police every time we take matters into our own hands it always back fires on us whether your standing on a good cause or not....no one is excempt by the old saying what ever goes around comes around or lets say what ever is in the darkness comes out into the light I dont care if you are a pastor teacher priest or cop etc.As for me I have no title when people ask me what are you catholic ? baptist? Messianc Jew I say I love the Lord and everything Jesus was (the image of God)Jesus wasnt messianc Jew or baptist or catholic Jesus was Jesus Jesus didnt believe to much about joining what ever operations were going on cause people always seem to screw things up so he ran with his father in Heaven abba father lets not forget one of the ways that Jesus came to teach ..He said listen to no man but your father in Heaven and that s exactly what Jesus did we remeber all the other things but I think we miss very important points the only one any one can follow is the perfect one and his name is God all source of life amen. I suggest you think twice before you are going to run the show of things whether it be your own life or a program or school...God is the director dont for get that.Look to no man for your salvation my friend you are to work out your own salvation with your heavenly father man always wants to run the show of matters and get in Gods way.........I love you all and yes I love you also Mrs.Wills and Brother Wills God never stops forgiveing us amen love Rose I pray every one can see the whole picture of matters amen and get honest.Why should I hesiatate to share if nothing wrong happenend...if the Wills were to be offended by this that means they did something wrong....this was your program method and style if all these methods are correct in your heart on how to run a school you should be happy that I shared most of the criteria that went that you firmly believed in your heart that you all thought this was what God wanted you to do?

Hello all..its me again I did not finish sharing the rythem of the ways, rules and laws of this mountain park boarding academy...One day I was singing and Mrs Wills got in my face to say young lady that is not the way you are to sing Mrs Wills told me that I was singing with my flesh and not my heart in other words I was singing worldly if I started to enjoy myself while singing because Mrs Wills did not like my face and the way I sang I was placed on the back row of choir even if I was the shortest girl there. If I did not say Yes man or yes sir to Mrs Wills or Mr Wills I almost had apanic attack realizing I forgot the rule.I had to close the conversation by saying yes mam or yes sir ...One day mrs Wills aproached me and said young lady you are going on my diet I had no choice in the matter just like anything else done there.So one day I was doing my chores and I was the dish washer for about 80 people and I was eating a crumb off of pan before I washed it well one of the girls ratted me out in kitchen . Mrs Wills came flying in that kitchen so fast and screamed in my face young lady is it true that you have been cheating on your diet I had a lump in my throat by her forceful abusive behavoir on me.See what would happen is the girls would do anything they could to be liked by Mr Wills or Mrs Wills so they would tell on eachother thinking that they were scoreing with the Wills .I witnessd favortism coming out of the Wills especially to the girl that was from their home town Alabama. Mrs Wills and Mr Wills just loved her no matter how this alabama girl would screw up they just adored her. Which also scared me.For the most part I was locked up and The Wills had it set up where they would gather whom they could to be on their side so when girls would get out of line the girls who were favored by the Wills for self centered reasons would prance on the girls or at once bring the information to the Wills . So basically us girls were screwed one way or another. Yes I was there in my bunk bed I cryed myself to sleep every night and woke up crying also...I was screwed. Yes they had those alarms to where if anyone got out of there bunk bed and a foot touched the ground the alarms would go off. The only time I was aloud out side was for about a week mrs wills would take us on a walk around the grounds. And then on sunday we would have to line up to get on Mr Wills big bus to be escorted to Victory Church few miles away. Other than that I was locked inside morning till night. Three months after me being there one night brother Wills was doing his evening bible study for us all and I was crying for my family cause I missed them so much but I used that as a oppurtunity to raise my hand to be saved. Mrs wills took me in other room she said okay get on your knees and repeat this prayer I did ...but I wasnt saved. I thought if they thought I was saved because of the Wills sermon they would like me more...(didnt work) but I tryed.I knew all my letters were being read by the Wills before they sent them out to family..and I knew they were reading my letters coming in from my family so I was screwed in that area also.As for phone calls I did not have much time I would cry my eyes out when I heard mom and dads voice I was yearning for them..alls I can say is I was sent there for being a snot head so It was hard for anyone to believe us kids who were being abused by the Wills belief system and formats...or for that matter Im sure its hard for the court system to take us kids words over these supposeally mature concerned owners or wokers there (that just wanted to help us kids)??Police officers arent even alloud to get away with this behavoir Oh but I see I guess thats why their operation was demanded on there part to be seperate from state hmmmm they sure are smart in there own evil ways ah. Anyways God is all powerful and like I said before when poop starts to pile up so high and so much everybody begins to smell it and I guess over time this is what happen to their business. Thank you God. what ever operates in the darkness comes out in the light...no one is too smart for God no one....amen First God wants to bring us out of self deception...then God wants us to get honest and confess and then God can forgive you and hopefully others amen......

I loved Mountain Park and Palm Lane. I was at MP from June 5 (I was 15) until the end of September in 2001 and I was at Palm Lane from the end of September to August 5, 2002. There's nothing that I would ever trade my time and experiences at both these schools for. Yes, of course I agree that some things should not have happened to some people (incluiding a few things I went through), but I don't agree with everything my parents have done with me either, and if I ever caught anyone talking bad about my parents they would never do it again around me. My point is that you've gotta eat the meat and spit out the bones and get on with life. I don't feel one small bit sorry for myself or anyone else that went there and I'M THANKFUL TO GOD FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERY MOMEMT I EXPERIENCED AT MT. PARK AND PALM LANE. I'M ESPECIALLY THANKFUL FOR JESUS WHO SAVED ME EIGHT MONTHS INTO MY BOARDING SCHOOL EXPERIENCE. I went to West Coast Baptist College for a couple years following my remaining two years of h/s after Palm Lane, and plan to graduate with an evangelism degree while corresponding in these next couple years. Ever since I've come home from the boarding school, I've had a burning passion to win people to the Lord (Using the Romans Road that I learned at Mountain Park) and have seen Jesus save several hundred people, including two today. During my time at West Coast, I traveled as an Evangelist for "Neighborhood Bible Time" and saw the Lord do some amazing things. Lord willing, I'm leaving Las Vegas (where I live) on the 22nd and am going to spend 13 weeks in beautiful San Diego where several Marines are going to punish me for having been a civilian all of my life while simultaneously making me one of them. I plan to serve my country with valour an honour as a U.S. Marine for four years before going into full-time evangelism (my consuming passion). I'm sharing all this about myself because none of it would have come to pass had it not been for MP and PL. The truth is, I'd probably be dead and in Hell today. Oh, and if all that's not enough, this past summer I talked to a 20-year-old gal on an airplane while traveling as an Evangelist. I told her about Jesus and she was very open to the Gospel. She trusted Chist as her Saviour. Then she said, "Can I tell you something?" I said, "Sure." Then she told me something that I did not know nor had any clue about (other than the tears that were in her eyes when I sat next to her) when I was telling her about the Lord's love and invitation for her. She said, "What you just told me just now helped save my life; I was planning on committing suicide today after we landed!" Yeah, Mountain Park and Palm Lane were well worth it! They saved my life while teaching me to live for God for the sake of other people. If anyone reads this and recognizes my name, you may e_mail me at savedbythebloodin2002@yahoo.com.

So happy to hear that the Lord interveaned into your life..to me thats all that matters is recieving a awareness of the Lord and to remain to blossom in it..When God comes into someone however and where ever it happened he like to be the finisher of it. For example people can get saved by life experiance alone ..they dont nessarily have to be sitting in church ..church school or etc for God to interveane. I know of many cases where God does interveane in peoples lives in church or help programs that they enter into ...Im also aware of people who are at there ends wit with themselves and everything around them..and then one day they have a bad car accident...and in that moment God has interveaned meaning in that very second by encountering the bad experiance their soul woke up.I also realized in my life im not speaking for anyone else but my own experiance God seemed to have always got my attention through bad experiances. I understand we all make mistakes ...and another point I am trying to make is if someone was to take my inventory of all my past it would probally make someone throw up.... I understand today that many people do things and make desisions and they are very sorry after...thats what Jesus tryed to teach that when us humans do bad things and take matters into our own hands having no accountability to what is right and what is wrong we are to forgive .for my own peace I say forgive them father they not what they are doing.If they have accountability to what is right and wrong and they choose to do evil there is less grace for them .what ever the case may be im not to be the hater once the enemy operates in a enemy type of behavoir the enemy that just operated in a person likes to make us the enemy, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but the spiirts that operate in them Maybe it was just for 10 minutes that a person allowed the enemy spirits to operate in them what ever the case may be . but I learnt a way of not allowing the enemy spirit that operates in a indivisual to jump into me.Ya know like the sentence two wrongs do not make a right. Now I know why Jesus said if someone slaps you in the face let them slap you on the other side too cause the enemy in them is just about to make you operate in the enemys ways.If retaliation continues the war will never end..thats why God s says Im going to be the only one to be able to end the war...cause it appears to seem that no one else knows how to.Another thing Jesus taught us with His actions dont fight back or you are going to become the enemy as well . As for penalyzing someone forever do to actions they had in the past is wrong according to Christ..especially if God has done some house cleaning in them..and now I can understand the part of the bible where it says if you do not forgive your brother and sisters you also are blocking your own path of forgiveness....the whole point is we are not to look to know one to match our salvation and walk up to know one but God....because parents ..school teachers.....priests...counclers..pastors..police....lawyers ...judges..presidents...these people in these positions are all people who one are complete self seekers and have no care about anything but themselves,unstable in all there own ways and trying to serve at the same time. and as we are all in these jobs of life we make many mistakes. alls I can say is I am greatful that people today dont hold my past against me....I can amagine that our creator would probally desire for people who are entrusted in high position or authority to have there own issus.dealt with before displaying self problems on others...and spiritually to be able to be a wonderful example in the position they are entrusted with...or there will be big contraversy do to our actions and choices that us humans make..people who make bad desisions usually have to deal with there own consequenes.most human beings like to dish out more mess once mess have been delivered to them by another, but is this something that the image of God has taught us to do ???....I always hear we have to trust God trust God well I have come to believe that God wants to be able to trust us.........

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Mountain Park Baptist Boarding Academy. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
