Boone,
Is there any reason why you think you should have ANY credibility when posting in this forum? You have been consistently dishonest and deceptive...
You lost me. I'm not sure what the glaring dishonesty is supposed to be.
I wonder if you're not "straining at a gnat" here.
In any case, I'll tell you about the anecdotal evidence I witnessed regarding the effectiveness of the Harmony Institute training (which I guessed was probably broader-based and more scientific than your data.) Of course this assumes that your data consists of blogging back and forth with LGAT-critics on this board and maybe talking to ten or twenty of your friends.
In short, when the Bergers were invited to leave Harmony Institute, several of us conducted ad hoc phone surveys of many (probably numbering over one hundred) of old graduates of the training (mostly grads who we hadn't seen for a while) and asked them about their experience since that time. The majority responded that their training experience had been positive and that it was a positive influence in their lives up to that date. Since then, on occassion, similar telephone calling and mailing has yielded similar results.
Of course, this is anecdotal, undocumented and dependent on my memory, but I believe that it represents a consistent pattern we'd find among graduates of all LGAT trainings: the vast majority of people would cite positive changes in their lives.
The quality of my data probably has a lot to do with being directly involved with a training that has regular contact with its graduates. If there was a big fall-off in the perception of value from graduates, we'd know about it. On the contrary, most claim that these trainings profoundly change their lives in an enduring way. Likewise, Landmark Forum seems to derive similar responses from vastly more scientific studies than mine:
