Hi Toyer,
I have just read over all your postings. I understand your own philosophy and I respect this: That we are all responsible to ourselves for our own actions.
I adhere to this however, if in the case of a person who is obviously out of touch with reality, do we apply this philosophy to the same degree? At what point can we intervene? At what point do we decide that a person is not fully responsible for their actions that may lead to detrimental results?
At what point does wisdom allow us to question the appropriateness of our philosophy to a given situation?
I feel it is time to show her the written evidence against Landmark.

* Pass her this document written by a psychologist and sociologist on the Lifespring LGAT. My ex-girlfriend told me who read it 7 weeks ago that it is 97% representative of her Landmark experience.

* Show her also this testimony:

* Speak to a exit counsellor
Take her to dinner this Wednesday Night. Do this for yourself as well as her as starting from Thursday, she will slip further away from you. You will become just a story in her life from Saturday Night and may be viewed as "holding her back". Her reasoning and logic will be further by-passed by the use of hypnosis.
On the Saturday of the Advanced Course, my ex "completed" with me by being "authentic" telling me that she had left her married man. She rang me 9 times leaving messages on 3 phones during her breaks. I pleaded with her to leave the course and she cried saying: "I can't, I can't" On the Sunday Morning, (after doing the "my life story" exercise), she became so assertive saying that I just had to do the Forum. That was late October 2003. She has never been the same since. Since then, all I have been is just a story in her life without meaning.
Good luck Toyer. :)
