They're back: Gentle Wind Project Morphs to: "Family Systems
Research Group (FSRG)"

John "Tubby" Miller and Mary "Moe" Miller's Newest Enterprise?


Typical of cultic groups when exposed, in GWP's case by the Maine
Attorney General,* the leaders will change stripes – in name or
location – and pitch, to maintain control over followers, attract
new recruits, and keep the money flowing.

* (See: http://www.windofchanges.org for the Maine AG's lawsuit
against the Millers and the AG's Consent Decree that put GWP out of
business forever in Maine and took away their assets)


Now we have a "new" organization called "Family Systems Research
Group," described in their publicity as "pick[ing] up where GWP
technology leaves off…."; seemingly consisting of the same cast of
characters who signed the AG's Consent Decree. Little has changed –
beyond the defensive disclaimers and sales now based on price
(mostly *) instead of "donations" in the marketing of their wares.
Surprisingly, they are still calling themselves "researchers."

* (On the last page of the FSRG description, we learn that "a
portion of each fee goes directly to the work of The Gentle Wind
Project….")


They still have "healing instruments" (now called "I Ching alignment
instruments," selling for $365 to $6,260); "telepathic healings"
(now "distant alignments"); and offer "phone consultations [that] …
may have a transformational effect…." The "consultations" seem to
hearken back to the "soul readings" GWP promoted in the early 80s
(which they claimed to channel exclusively from "the spirit
world"). And, amazingly, hair samples and astrology
(now "behavioral astronomy" and "hexagram profiles") are back –
which is where GWP's "Tubby" Miller and "Moe" Miller (then Claudia
Panuthos AKA Mary Elizabeth Carreiro) and Tubby's five female
housemates, at that time, first began. Oddly, another GWP dinosaur
has been resuscitated – transactional analysis.

* (Consumer note: You can download the "astrology" program used by
FSRG for $400, or much less, and run it on your home computer
indefinitely, plugging in each client's date and time of birth,
etc. See http://www.aureas.com – the URL on FSRG's charts.
Nevertheless, the smart people at FSRG sell charts to each client
starting at $250 for "phase 1" and offer 3 phases for a total of
$700.)


The authors of FSRG's description are identified by the term, "WE."
Thus, former followers of GWP assume that "Tubby" and "Moe" continue
to think they're speaking for "the spirits."

These approaches worked successfully for the Millers in the past,
yielding GWP's "nonprofit" millions of dollars (see GWP IRS Form
990s on www.windofchanges.org), so here we go again. As they say in
the world of recovery, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and
over again expecting different results." Some of us have learned
that lesson.


GWP / FSRG Address Update: According to the newest website for the
Millers' GWP, www.gentlewindproject.org, their address is now in
Starks, NV. However, Family Systems Research Group's sales material
lists an address in Portsmouth, NH (no website available) at the
same mail-drop location used by the Millers during their failed
Federal and State lawsuits against Jim Bergin, Judy Garvey, Rick
Ross, Ian Mander, Steve Gamble, Ivan Fraser, and Steve Hassan. The
Maine AG's Consent Decree prohibits GWP from operating in Maine, and
the GWP leaders from ever running another Maine nonprofit. However,
GWP (as Gentle Wind Retreat) is listed as a nonprofit just across
the river in the state of New Hampshire. If you have questions about
this, you might contact New Hampshire's Attorney General Kelly
Ayotte at http://doj.nh.gov 33 Capitol St., Concord, NH 03301 (603)
271-3658.
