I can confirm that police officers are not immune to the slick con game of LGATS. My first introduction to LGATS was from a police officer friend, trying to recruit me thinking they were merely 'sharing' a wonderful life experience with me. I can also attest that my friend is not the only officer involved with an LGAT in their department. The culprit organization in this case is landmar

QuoteI chalked it up to Loss Of Self. I believe you are 100% correct about the loss of self. That is what the 'reformers' should be afraid of. Its too bad that those reaching for the forum leader's chair couldn't witness the same thing your friend did. That is what landmark will do for them too. To think, it is that very same loss of self that every landmarkian strives for,

I understand how the practicing landmark graduates would respond in fear and shame or just plain remorse to such a 'request'; they are no different than a child caught in an abusive environment where the abuser is a distorted representation of survival and protection to the victimized child, the fact that the abuser is a false representation is simply unknown to the victim.

QuoteI trust you will honor my request and cease any further use of my letter as an endorsement. Thank you. Sincerely, Harry Rosenberg, CEO Landmark Education Interesting how the term 'request' is used for what is actually a veiled threat. The sad thing is that this letter probably sent chills of fear reverberating down the spines of every practicing landmark graduate re

QuoteI believe it was a forum leader who recently pointed out that a "real" friend is not the friend who tells you everything is great when it's not. A real friend is the one who calls you on your stuff and demands that you be ever more extraordinary. A friend doesn't let up at hearing, "I've got a plan, I'm working on it." Patience may be required, but

I thought this quote taken from the "Transformation Reformers" blogsite was a great example of how only a 'voice', and an authoritarian figure are needed to maintain control over the 'slaves'. It's Harry Rosenberg's response, if you can call it that, to the 'reformers' ideas about how to improve their cult to make it more 'livable',....I

Perhaps the companies who buy the landmark forum for its employees or 'suggest' to their employees to take a forum on their own, don't realize the magnitude of what they are subjecting employees to. Perhaps they know and don't care, after all, they, like landmark are in the money making business. Either way, I'm going to keep a list of any companies that use landmark prog

If LAURA MARBLE is so sure that she hasn't been infected by landmark's programming, then I would challenge her to contact the Wellspring retreat counselling center (in Colorado?) and sign up for exit counselling. It would be a win-win situation if she did. She gets the counselling and finds that she never 'drank the cool-aid' and all is well, or, she gets the counselling and r

I keep forgetting about the part where no one joins a cult. It seems as though the victim knows exactly what they're saying and doing when they really don't. They really have no idea of the space they're suspended in. I wonder what my friend will think when she wakes up and finds that she no longer has a career, a goal, a home, or knowledge of anything that hit her before she beg

The experiment conducted by the teacher reflects how a landmark forum leader gains control over the minds of a forum group. The experiment demonstrated how easily Hitler would have gained control over the minds of his followers and how it has been so easy for rosenberg/erhard to maintain control over so many thousands of people even after he ran behind the scenes to let his underlings run the l

what if "Eagle Island Films" is just another front of landmark education? It would only make sense for landmark to to 'create' a place in the the world of media because it needs media to maintain the lie that got started when they were est and the poster boy for hypocracy was its publicly known leader. Without some control over a media outlet, whether it be control through o

get your friend a copy of "Cults in our midst" by Margaret Singer. If she is not 100% preoccupied with time spent in her 'group', insist she read it. When she discovers how well Dr. Singer has dissected and described her group even without having ever been a member of it, this may (or may not) cause your friend to ask herself, 'how does a non-follower possibly know, witho

classic cases of 'appeal to ignorance' and 'appeal to inappropriate authority'. If that's the best defense they have, they need to keep the focus on the 'appeal to force' and keep threatening everyone and their dog with a lawsuit for not trusting in their snake oil.

jack/werner not only capitalized on the 'tidbits' he borrowed from scientology in the creation of his cult, but he is also intending to further capitalize on the Hitlerian Maxim; 'when a lie gets big enough, it will become accepted as the truth'. His 'legacy' sitcom is about doing just that. Spread the deception until it overtakes reality. But like Hitler, he will
