This sounds similar to something the Release Technique uses. I told my husband I wasn't interested in doing the program period. He replied "Larry says 'everybody has an excuse'" (Larry Crane is the RT guru) I told my husband that "excuse" presupposes that I have decided that it is in my best interest to do something I'm not doing.

QuoteSaneAgain 1. People who don't follow strict stereotypes are more likely to be non-conformists; 2. Gender is an easy way to shame people - e.g. calling a man a 'mommy's boy' or simply 'a girl' because of long hair. 3. Gender is a crucial part of identity;. Very good points Sane Again.

Interesting. I didn't realize some LGAT's did that. I wonder if it is a way of breaking down a person's individuality by getting them to behave in conformity with certain gender stereotypes.

Rather than ask whether a particular organization fits the definition of a "religion" or a 'cult" I think a more useful question is whether the organization is destructive. Is participation in the group harmful to people? Does this organization uplift the human spirit, or kill it? That is really the point isn't it?

QuoteHopeful Soul[ T]he word “remember” is a very important word in the Bible and other scripture. In the Book of Mormon its use reaches the extreme in frequency.

I got the impression from what you wrote that Impact was saying that for example in the pre-existence a spirit agreed to come to earth and molest little Johnny in order to teach him something. What I was taught (and i was raised mormon) was that in the pre-existence a spirit might agree to come to earth knowing they may be placed in
