I couldn't get it to do anything, it just got stuck on 'loading'. Don't know if that means everyone is trying to watch it.

I'm keen tho, sounds 'fun' :)

Sadly, this short film is SO ACCURATE in depicting what goes on in cults and human potential groups/LGATs.

I wonder how people caught up in these groups would react to this film as point after point hits home.

Watch it. It's worth it.

Oh I've seen this before. It's funny though and so true!

Wow! This is an excellent educational tool. Creative, pithy, entertaining way of exposing cult tactics. Something very watchable. Cuts right to the core. Great thing to hand out at LE intros :!:

What do you think if a true believer saw this? Would it be rubbish to them? Would they snap and realize how pathetic they really look?

Any thoughts?

For the record...it was spot on. :-)

I think that some awareness, however minute, might possibly occur for a true believer due to how the information is presented: there's an entertaining quality to it, which makes it watchable. Also, it's short, moves fast and seems sort of silly. It would be interesting to run some tests, and see what some true believers think of it. I wonder what I would have thought, had I seen it when I was a TB.

skeptic

If they see the video, I think there may be a great deal of denial. "That wasn't my experience. My experience was positive". "These are people who don't have clue what really happened". "They don't really do those things. It's an exaggeration and untrue". Hmmmm

I've toyed with the idea of sending the link to my ex-boyfriend. However, I 'believe' he is too far gone. He won't get 'it'.

Anyone know of someone who is a true believer who WOULD even watch it?

yes, I have a relative who is most certainly "far gone" and a "true believer". I bet he would watch it and just laugh.
