>>It's kinda like they're driving a car they know was stolen by someone, who stole it from someone else, who stole it from someone else, who took some parts from another stolen car and welded them on, and put a gloss of new paint on it -- and they actively do not want to know, or research, who any of the car they are driving really belongs to. Their desire to keep the car running ("for all the good we're doing") overwhelms all of that.

Just got a private message that this is what ALL businesses do. They revise others work, make slight improvements, change the special sauce a bit and keep making money, spy on each other, etc, etc. Burger King and Taco Bell got a lot of their ideas from McDonalds, who got it from Howard Johnsons or whatever . . .
So what?
None of these businesses are in the business of "training people about integrity," being their word, telling the truth, etc, etc. GLF/Impact say that is the business they are in while doing anything but either in or especially out of the training room.

That's an asinine private message that attempts to minimize Impact and Greatlife's lack of integrity by isolating a relatively minor instance of LGAT dishonesty without addressing the many more serious accusations. Con artists typically handle criticisms this way because they think they can deflect attention to a less serious and egregious violations instead of addressing the bigger issues that are largely indefensible.
My point in bringing up the stolen ideas is merely to point out that the common processes give all LGAT's a vested interest in defending each other because they all do essentially the same things. As a result no one affiliated with the management of an LGAT can have their word taken at face value because too many have track records of dishonesty and all of them have an incentive to defend the processes regardless of whether they work or not. Is there really someone dense enough to think that the common copycat practices that exist in some other industries absolve Impact and Greatlife of their ongoing misrepresentations of their product?
