Talk:The Hell (group)
your sources must be wrong.
i did Boredom in 1979. it was 7 days of torture. this guy would recite old English poems for hours while we were lying face down with a rubber ball under our bellies. after one or two hours you were convinced the ball was lying on your back. most participants started leaving after 3, 4 days cause it was just unbearable. even the food was kept boring, like a ball of white rice for lunch, no tea or coffee, no talking anyway. if i remember correctly, it was residential. --Rudra 11:12, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
Sources are what they are . . . About the name of the group, it looks like it evolved. You and Maneesha are first-hand sources, and there's no conflict. Likely TSORW understood both names were applicable at one time or another, so they used both with a slash. We will have to decide what our main page group name will be, with the other two redirects: Boredom, The Hell, or Boredom/Hell. A caae can be made for each. I have no preference.
It does look like TSORW got it wrong about the start date, as it conflicts with Maneesha's account and that must be given primacy. Their end date can be taken as okay provisionally but it says nothing about what happened after Mar 1978.
So it's great to know it continued, and a bit more about the format / duration. That too undoubtedly evolved. It would probably have to be residential to achieve its effect, otherwise, people could blow off their accumulated frustrations.
Every Groups page should eventually have a section for people's experiences to flesh out the bare-bones descriptions and give them life. Can we put yours on the article page, maybe expand it? There's still a lot to come from The Buddha Disease which was cut from the CD-ROM. -- doofus-9 18:57, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
hmmm, the Boredom group i attended wasn't anything like the description of the Hell group here. i can imagine that the guy running the group got bored with the various torture techniques and began inventing new ones on a weekly basis. --Rudra 02:29, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
