Yup. You got it. I can't remember the exact details, but those who have been through one or two of the courses and are then enrolled in the leadership programme (or become part of the leadership in some sense, or whatever) make their own phone call to connect in to a teleconference where they update on what is happening in their region. Just imagine a pyramid of teleconferencing infor

FWIW, Landmark Education in Brisbane, Australia is having some tough times. I think their term is a "breakdown" when you only get 15 people enrolled and showing up for a LE "relationships" course instead of the intended 60 participants. Only having 15 people enrolled/sold is not regarded as being right or wrong, but a breakdown. My take is that they're avoiding

Interesting that the more intelligent of the population get suckered in by it, complete with swallowing the redefinitions of words such as 'integrity'. Whereas a tradesman, I suspect, would simply tell 'em that they were "full of it" and walk out the door. Oh the irony. John

Quite interesting. In Internet Explorer you get a message that the page cannot be found ... just like a non-existent site. However, this is actually a real web page that is being served by their web site and not your browser generating an error. The same page comes up blank in Firefox and Opera (I'll save you the technical explanation). Their higherpurpose.com domain name is still curr

Yeah, he's in to the MLM thing and is trying to have all the keyword content there in a mistaken belief that it will get him higher up the results in Google searches. Total. Waste. Of. Time. Quite sad, really. John

Come to think of it, if I was wanting to expand my MLM downline I'd be waiting outside the doors for when the 'graduates' come out. In their state of mind they'd be likely to get in to the MLM stuff with a vengence ... in an 'integrity' kind of way. Scary. And sad. John

Dr Evil says to himself "Great. I just love playing whack-a-mole with these videos." "Art! Where the hell are you?" Dr Evil screams. A smaller cloned version of Dr Evil enters the scene.

Somewhere (possibly the Cayman Islands) inside a deep extinct-volcano fortress an alert sounds. YouTube alert. Dr Evil's eyes instantly light up and then transform to the narrow focus of horror. "Oh no. Not again. And we still don't have the money needed to buy YouTube out ... yet." Dr Evil realises what will happen if the great unbrainwashed masses see this

Hi there Mikethekey, I haven't checked lately, but there is some additional YWAM based articles in the CAIC site (ww.culthelp.info) which RR doesn't have on his site. These aren't found via the site navigation, but you can find them through using the site search function. These articles will be some of the older ones history-wise, but did show that change in the organisation
