If something goes wrong in your life, it's not always because of you. There are so many examples I could come up with, but the one I prefer is the book of Job which illustrates that Landmark's teaching goes against the Bible.
I'm not really that familiar with the Bible -- what happens in the book of Job?

Having attended no introduction to Landmark but having completed both the Forum and Advanced course i thought id comment.
I enjoyed the course, discovered some new tools that have allowed me to view thing differently and experienced a deeper level of understanding with my friends and colleagues and it was inspirational seeing a number of people re-connect with their families and friends.
Im a well educated person who holds a senior role in a global company and having attended many motivational/educational and business related course throughout my year's, i believe can evaluate this course with a non-bias opinion.
I found the course to be both challenging and inspiring, i felt this course allowed you to have a look at what you have created in your life, how you created it, and what you would like to create moving forward. How you translate this is totally up to the individual.
This course i feel isn't for people who may need "professional" help, or suffer form a mental condition and are seeking a course to "fix" their lives, my view is that this is designed for educated people with broad life experiences that are willing to look at their past, be open to evaluating it and able to look at their future.
Like any course some people have positives and negatives, but unless you actually complete the course you really cannot comment.
From my point of view i wasnt i forced to do anything, i always had the choice to say "no" and also had the opportunity to leave if i so desired (with my money refunded).
All i can say is personal experience accounts for my view and my view alone.
Ill leave you with a quote;
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

I've read all the posts from people who say Landmark worked for them. They are all identical to the point of being scary. Don't you value your individuality and your ability to express yourself? The last place any secure person would want to go to is someplace that churns out clones, unless they've become convinced that IS their security.

So, as you can see, the concept of blaming the victim is not new. And it's against the teaching of the Bible. So, who are you going to trust? The Forum leader or God himself?

Still, I'll remember this in case it's applicable in future (ie if I meet someone who's sucked into Landmark who also believes in the Bible).
