I watched the videos before the were deleted. The treatment of humanity under the guise of personal growth is truly sad to me.
Is not the removal of these under "pressure" a form of censorship?
"Chilling Ellects"
It is reminiscent of the earlier internet wars between the Co$ and its critics, which is all tangled up in the history of the world wide web. Scientology geeks were early players and had to keep coming up with ways to shield their members from seeing what was being said about them. Werner Erhard took this tactic and is still using it, apparently, despite the failures of his "mentors."
One thing that surprises me, after watching the French TV clips, was the fact that there are people who will put up with that type of verbal abuse and public humiliation. You'd think they were being paid or were plants or something, but I suspect something far more tragic; I imagine they are people who suffered some type of abuse as children so that they expect or accept it as "normal." I don't doubt that Landmarkers know that is the dynamic they are exploiting. It seems obvious, watching the clips, and inexcusable. They are specifically targeting people who will tolerate the abuse and know they can get free labor out of them.
