QuoteMartinHQuotehipo:shock: I'm starting to get overwhelmed by all the posts about this Landmark. I never heard of this company before. . Landmark is like a drug. Once people get sucked in, it is as difficult to get rid of the brainwashing like getting rid of any addiction. Probably a reason why they don't want drug abusers or addicts to join (as stated in the "sign your

Quotehipo I don't care how many people go to Africa to build schools. There's a thing called personal responsibility for those you love. Dropping everything and walking away from people who love you, after telling them "hey, I mislead you and made your life a living hell but I'm responsible now. See ya!", and PAYING MONEY to learn to do so is a horrible thing.

QuoteON2 LFQuoteON2 LF- You nailed it on the head. Well, if I were a city by-law officer I'd be pretty insulted to know that some scambagger outfit was operating right under my nose, making huge profit while doing so and not reporting its business activities as the law requires. Maybe this is why it is so important for landmark to infiltrate legitimate organizations/businesses and/or p

QuoteThe ShadowHi Vic-Luc I wish I had seen this RR forum in May-June/ that was when my friend did her first course - and I think she did the Advanced Course a month later - maybe I would have been able to talk her out of it - but probably not - she is going to have to borrow money to do the SELP course, unless of course she is "volunteering" her time (cleaning toilets at the

QuoteThe ShadowVic-Luc I'm sorry you had to loose your fiancee to Landmark. And that you were used so Badly...but I am glad you did not accept the FREE course, because by now you would be just another Brain washed Landmark Junkie - and there are already too many out there. It kind of reminds me of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, only insert Mind-Snatchers. *sigh* it IS very distur

LE women are some manipulative ones... I agree with all of the above posters. You've gone far in life. Service, law dgree. You're finding women in Landmark. Unfortunately they had no direction and LE gave them some sort of status and purpose. Glad you didn't fall for it.

My ex came from a divorced family where she said forms of abuse were rampant. She also seemed to struggle with her sexuality earlier in life. The main thing was that she didn't have a "purpose" in life, and before converting to Landmark, had made over 5 possible career decisions in a 2-4 month period, before fully "expressing" that LE fully utilised

It seems to be the hotbed of LE activity. This may have to do with a vague mental health licensing body, international reciprocity issues, and a country of only 20 million people. I have to share though: LE is on FIRE there. My ex worked in a salon that was designed as she said "to be an optimal workplace by someone applying Landmark technology." I feel compelled to write

...then the Rick Ross Hour would be a refreshing alternative. And besides, you can actually talk about real stuff and not be involved in entrapement or coercement that the Dateline show has. I wouldn't be surprised if Comedy Central bankrolled it, either.

anniebee The process you described is an unhealthy, asinine way of making amends. Unlike AA/NA programs, the purpose for the individual is completely self-serving and done before they are taught in the later courses to "do no intentional harm." What you're not taught, you're not responsible for. I figure living with honesty and integrity would include not only being h
