Larsen said he did teach some courses, and he took some as well, but all were under the supervision of other counselors trained under Meehan's philosophy.
Balog confirmed that up to his departure in , the forging of these forms was a regular occurrence, especially in the mid-'90s, when the program fell under scrutiny from the state. As Balog recalls: "They had a bunch of staff come in and paint the rooms inside the office while two administrators sat at typewriters and just went away at certificates. But Board of Medical Examiners administrative services worker Pam Osborn said it's up to former counselors to bring up discrepancies to the board.
The only two parties who know whether the education occurred are the ones hosting and attending, Osborn said. If they did, we accept it. Meehan himself supports this claim, as shown in a video on an anti-Meehan Web site. During a video on ontheemmis. Counselors were also taught directly by Meehan, with enforcement by Stonebraker, to threaten clients with excommunication from the group if the suggestions weren't taken, former counselors said. They were also taught to burn in clients' minds that excommunication from the group meant an imminent relapse into addiction, which would lead to death.
David Larsen, who spent about 12 years in Meehan's now-closed California programs, as well as Pathway, finds talking to the media about his experiences as the head of Pathway difficult. Larsen took part in an investigation for a Feb. The report depicted Meehan as a racist cult leader who coerced a client, in one occasion, into forgoing medical treatment in favor of spiritual treatment.
On that occasion, famed comedian Carol Burnett's stepson at first took Meehan's suggestion to believe his cancer was a spiritual disease. Jeffrey Hamilton eventually sought medical help, but later died. In response to the report, Meehan's attorney issued a statement that said Meehan was retiring from the one-man Meehan Institute, where all Pathway counselors received training.

In an interview conducted by the webmaster for ontheemmis. But according to Larsen and former Pathway Tempe counselor Eric Balog, Meehan kept regular contact with his California staff in , despite the promise he made to the state. Balog described the control that Meehan has over patients and counselors as "blind and absolute.
For instance, step three of AA states, "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him. David Larsen questioned from the beginning why some of Meehan's philosophies didn't mesh with society standards, beginning when he was 16 years old in the San Diego program. He felt like he saved people's lives," Larsen said. After 10 years of indoctrination of the severe consequences of ignoring these suggestions, he separated from his wife. He said it was the worst decision he ever made.
From that point, more questions on Meehan's philosophy began percolating in Larsen's head, which led to his ultimate banishment to Meehan's Cornerstone in Denver. There, he quickly resigned. Larsen also recalls overt racism in the Pathway program. In a video clip on ontheemmis.
Meehan also hammered gay clients. On one occasion during Meehan's California program days, according to Balog, a girl who said she believed she was lesbian was verbally attacked by Meehan, and then asked to leave.
Danny Weber had come out to his parents two years before entering Step Two, the inpatient program where some clients are referred to prior to entering Pathway's outpatient counseling service. His parents were more than accepting, he said. Just be yourself,'" he said. Stonebraker, however, was not so forgiving, according to Vikan. She said Weber went through a minute 1-on-1 "bitch out" from Stonebraker on how he wasn't gay.
