It seems to me that the idea of co-dependency is one that many LGATs use to break the bonds between recuits (for want of a better word) and their loved ones, especially in the case of husband/wife and boyfriend/girlfriend.
They suggest people are not reaching their full potential and being manipulated by their partners (oh the irony).
Is this the experience that readers of the forum have gone through?
What are some of the more common 'sales pitches' for destroying the connection between people and gaining control over a recruit?
Here are a few sales pitches I can remember. It was constant for months. Not to mention the "getting complete" letters she wrote to me saying how much she loved my kids and all that ... to make me feel miserable.
- I love you so much ...
- It's like riding a bike ... (LOL!)
- You don't trust me ...
- You think what I do is stupid ...
- I just want you to have an extraordinary life ...
- I just want to share with you ...
- You're so righteous ...
- It's much easier to blame someone else than to blame yourself ...
- The price you have to pay (for resisting or being so righteous) is to loose our relationship ...
- The reason we are fighting is NOT because of Landmark ... it's because of the way I talk about Landmark ...
- I will NOT TOLERATE anything negative about Landmark ...
- I will not listen to this ...
- You don't need to do the Landmark Forum ...
- I will never ask you again to do the Landmark Forum ... for 3 months!
- Landmark is not a THING !
- Landmark is the best THING (!) that ever happened to you in your life, you just don't know it yet!
- We tell participants "Remember this is not the truth" ... "You just need to try it on to see if it fits you ..."
- It's AWSOME!
- If it was not for Landmark, I would probably have committed suicide!
- My center manager says that if you don't support me and Landmark, tomorrow it's gonna be something else ...
- (After I suggested we should seek counseling) We could meet with the center manager ...!!!
- I will not be with someone who aggressively opposes it (Landmark).
- (About the telephone call at home ...) This is NOT telemarketing ...
- People volunteer to gain experience for example in telemarketing !
- It's a WIN-WIN situation ...
- You have brainwashed yourself reading all sorts of negative stuff about Landmark ...
At some point, every words coming out of her mouth sounded like a sales pitch. It's endless.
