Bad Medicine at the Libertyville Centre Club

Forrest Gump: [running] I had run for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours.

Young Man: Quiet, quiet: He's going to say something!

Forrest Gump: [pause] I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now.

I made my first post to Bad Medicine at the Libertyville Centre Club on October 2nd, 2014 – it was a picture: “I’m not mad I’m hurt - There’s a difference. The first post was made 9 months after my 10 year plus membership was abruptly terminated from the Libertyville Centre Club – I had finally come to recognize that no one was going to acknowledge, apologize for or in any way remedy the dishonest malevolent injustice that they had wrought, whether by misperception, unwarranted fear, anger, prejudice, mental-illness or just mean-spirited malice.

Like Forest, after 3 years, 2months and 16 hours – I will stop my run and simply leave the Facebook page Bad Medicine at the Libertyville Centre Club as a permanent legacy of admonition towards the hypocrisy, lies and deceit of numerous instructors and administration, who profess to be Christians; if so apparently the type destined to hell. Whoa to those who cross paths with a seemingly disturbed instructor and her husband, and the administration of The Centre Club and Advocate Condell, as they systematically hide and, even worse, support their own contemptible acts while dispersing the most severe punishment available to someone that their own news-letter lauded a Centre Club success story.

I personally enjoyed my question and answer post the most – so I conclude with a reprisal:

Q: Your friend said that the instructor told him how sorry she was for what happened to you - and you said What Rot. Since then did she or anyone else ever apologize or try to remedy what they did to you?

A: No -

Q: We still don’t understand exactly what you did to make this instructor or her husband so upset that they and club management believed the appropriate remedy was to immediately terminate your membership. It was not even good enough to assure them you would never again attend her class, talk to her or furnish her with anything as you had for nearly 6 months before she told you that she didn’t understand why you were not coming to her class – and encouraged you to return despite her husband having assaulted you at your office 6 months earlier.

“Did you ever berate or threaten her?”

“Did you ever ignore her direct requests or instructions?”

“Did you solicit her, ask for her phone number, ask to meet her outside of the club, try to call, text, email, or write her apart from letters that you gave her at the club (which she could have declined to take)?”

“Did you touch her inappropriately?”

“Where there any other people in 10 years that raised similar concerns about you?”

A: NO; NO; NO; NO; NO – To the best of my knowledge I was thrown out of the club - Centre Clubbed - for apparently sharing gratitude/gratefulness towards her among others, as the person I believed most instrumental in helping me lose 80 pounds and change my life for the better after having had quadruple bypass surgery or for expressing sorrow and confusion about her sudden and inexplicable change in behavior towards me - for example ignoring my wife and I seated near she and her husband and two other couples as they ate dinner on a gift certificate given to them by us for Christmas, or expressing outrage that I inquired as to whether it was OK to come 15-20 minutes late to a specially scheduled holiday class she was instructing or better not to interrupt.

Q: “We heard that she asked you to write a short story, and asked for you to give her a birthday poem that was read to an entire class and a birthday card that had been purchased, but not given to her in light of her husband’s assault. The card was shown, not given, to her 8 months after her birthday specifically to exhibit an irony regarding her telling you that she liked a certain song (Roar) that you were playing on your tablet before her class had started.

A: Yes, that is correct on all counts

Q: We think that we heard you say that during the last 16 months you were at the club that you only talked to this instructor a few (4-5) times for a minute or two, and gave her 1 letter that suggested a possible reason that she and her husband might be so upset – How could doing that upset her so much that she treated you poorly, screamed at you and had you thrown out of the club by her complaint?

A: Yes, and G-d only knows

Q: We have two final questions. First, we can’t help noticing, many of your Bad Medicine at the Centre Club posts were seen by many people and the page has always been fully public to comments; has anyone ever challenged any of your statements or dozens of written documents that verify what you say?

A: No – no one has; I suppose they all know that although they were able to get away with all the lies they made directly to me and/or between themselves at (how did my wife put it – Oh, yeah - “what the hell are you talking about)” their absurd accusations that I gave this instructor letters about pubic hair and threatened her (Perhaps confusing me with her husband who did once come to my office and threaten me in front of 2 people who were calling the police to have him arrested until I intervened and stopped them from doing so). Neither did she have the decency to attend my execution, so as not to have to answer any questions of mine. Of course that would have involved some sense of integrity or conscience.

No person, entity or place is all good or all bad – but, sadly, all the good I received in 10 years pales by comparison to The Bad Medicine served in the end – and For What?

Q: Another question: It seems that they expected you not to do something that this instructor repeatedly told you was alright to do – give her an occasional missive of thanks. The day before your membership was terminated by phone, she told you that she really meant not to talk to her at all or give her anything at all – but neither she nor rich gave you any chance to do that. They must have thought that you would continue to intrude upon her despite your having said: “Why didn’t you just say that in the first place, and leaving her class immediately, as well as pointing out that you had not talked to her or been in her class for 6 months after her husband’s assault – until she went out of her way to invite you back, telling you it was all good --- people who care about her were just trying to protect her – but being unable to answer, when asked, PROTECT from what?

Did you hunt her down the way her husband did to you to give her a piece of your mind or have you had all kinds of contacts with her since because you just can’t stop yourself from doing so.

A: Before starting Bad Medicine at the Centre Club, I sent a letter to this instructor and her husband trying to understand what they were so upset about, and achieve a more favorable and just remedy. Of course, this letter was ignored. I also saw her email as part of another email that was sent to me by another instructor’s invitation to attend a party and sent one Bad Medicine post. In the past 3 years the only direct contacts I had was regrettably bumping into she and her husband on a First Friday in Libertyville – She smiled and asked how I was doing? I said that I was glad to see them out on the town, undoubtedly continuing their efforts to fight delusional evils everywhere. I also saw her at Jewel once – she took the time to tell me that she had absolutely nothing to do with my club membership being terminated, and implied that I had acted inappropriately with she “and others as well” at the club – offering no example. She also told me that I should use my G-d gifted writing for good (as though totally unable to see the good in exposing and condemning malevolent acts such as hers, her husbands and the clubs).

So NO, I have not had much contact with her nor stalked her the way her husband did to me, nor did I ever make a threat to her, nor did I ever say, do or write anything that would be considered offensive by any reasonable person, before my membership was unjustly and cruelly terminated.

It’s all a matter of being Center Clubbed: Apparently no room for honesty, reason, or any semblance of integrity – just make things up to justify a warped belief/conclusion – then attack and punish. Bad Medicine at the Libertyville Centre Club and Advocate Condell apparently have strange ideas regarding the meaning of their “good Christian” mission statement. The hypocrisy is astounding.

“There are numerous agents that psychology/psychiatry offers for those with disturbances in thought and mood; for those, however, who live without heart, without soul, there is no medicine for that.”
