Just got a heads-up on this from a friend who spotted it. Part 1 is here and part 2 is somewhere but I can't find a link for it yet. This is a CBS story from 1991. I'd say it's been a while since this item has been seen anywhere. Watch or grab a copy as soon as you can as Landmark Education are sure to want to take it down by any means possible. (aka "legal")

Physical retribution isn't too much of a worry as far as I am concerned. They tend to get legally antsy, though. Mind you, you need to do something significant they they feel the need to come after you for. Not worth worrying about at all. If you want to do something, perhaps you could show people the France 3 documentary that effectively shut them down in France? They've tried t

That's essentially Landmark Forum in a nutshell: Large group brainwashing with all of its dangers and side-effects. John

Methinks of evil thoughts of windscreens, flyers and certain Landmark Forum car park. :-P John

Haven't really suffered. I bailed out after one of those "intro" evenings. I wasn't keen on going anyway and only went so there would be an end to the pestering. More then enough for me. John PS. I'm way too tight to spend that amount of money on myself! :-P

I expect that the Landmark programme will be the same no matter where it is held. People from other countries should be as good as any. What was your particular experience of how they ran a Landmark Education forum in South Africa? John
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Just wondering about recent events of late, such as the promo Transformations film and now this new web site. Perhaps Werner Erhard is on his last legs with ailing health and hence they are busy pro-actively creating a legacy for him before he dies? Thoughts? John

Hi Makeup, As well as the above, make sure that you yourself are eating (even if you don't feel up to it) and sleeping properly. This gives you the best starting point to work from and will make a difference to yourself. It's also a very healthy boundary/practice to make sure that you definitely look after yourself first. John PS. Hang in there!

Actually, I do remember a movie ... something about grumpy old men. I wonder if it was Landmark related? :-P John

Hi Makeup, Great to hear from you again. We're all with you on this one. Don't forget to keep the tapes of any messages that the boss leaves on the answering machine. Better to have them than not to. John

Something to bear in mind is that "peak oil" is just a theory, just as the "energy crisis" in the 70s was just a fake dilemma to enable the prices to go up to more profitable levels. The truth is that we now have more discovered oil sources than ever before. Just want to separate this side-issue from discussions on someone being unable to face negatives or engage in critic

Oh yeah ... and tell your husband that he did well to make the right choice while standing up to fierce opposition from his superiors. That's real strength. John

Hi Makeup, Just responded to your other post on this topic and now that I've read this it makes even more sense. First things first, get that $500 back and don't accept "no" for an answer from Landmark Education. If it was paid by credit card, then have the cc company reverse the fee. Some of the others here will be able to give better targeted advice for getting your

Hi Makeup, I'm not surprised that your husband is devastated. Normally you know why (performance related) you get fired and there is probably an inkling that something is going to happen. To him this would have just been 'some course' that they wanted him to do. Hence, being fired and the accompanying feelings of rejection would have really come out of nowhere for him. His

Hi Wisernow, I'm somewhat stunned at what you ended up being subjected to, but very glad you've got a real man now. Cheers to you! John

If our earlier thoughts on the possibility of Landmark imploding/shrinking are correct, then this could well be a sign of desperation to stop the loss. Or again they now have more time on their hands. John
