How many trolls and cult-apologists can be counted in one thread? You just have to appreciate the humor in it. :D Kudos for $375Lighter for starting a thread that is honey for the flies. Guy

Righttofight, We've got a troll or two on the board. The names change on occasion and sometimes the styles are an inch to the left or right, but their colors show through after a few posts. There are only so many paths can a troll can take. :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: Another one just outed itself(S/he?) on a different thread. That one has been here before under another name. I sta

Glen, Thanks for the candor. Your self-reflection is appreciated. :) Guy QuoteGlen I was a student, probably insecure in my own right so had a lot of time on my hands, and I guess a "point" to prove. Just don't care anymore... :rolleyes:

Glen, Thanks for fessing up. :D Why did you stop trolling? Guy QuoteGlen I used to troll Christian chat rooms back in my (immature college) mIRC days, and if I suspect they do it (as I did it) to prove superiority, make fun of those members they have opposing views to, and generally just in invoke a reaction. (guess what I wanted to do in person at LEC) Best reaction. Ignore them. Th

Really. I'd like some trolls to respond to this question. If you're not, don't post. If you want to conjecture why they do, start a thread called "why I think Trolls post". Come on..... Be brave. We won't bite you. :D

So you do speak Landmarkese... Tell us more about yourself. QuoteRookie You read a lot into things. No wonder you got caught up in Landmark at one time in your life. I think they do well with people who love to analyze. Stories, stories and more stories. It was just a stupid sentence I wrote. Best of luck in your recovery.

Rookie, Let's just cut to the chase. You shown up here without any reason as far as I can tell but to undermine credibility. You've never talked about your experiences or why you're here. Your inability to distinguish the meanings of words and their usage, i.e. dogma does not equal propaganda, shows that either you have no interest in making sense other than spin value or

Rookie, That's an interesting opinion. Let's distinguish the particles of that opinion. Cynicism= (attitude>=not attitude) Skepticism = (=or (not=) health) Therefore, Skeptical times Landmark = good. Cynicism times anything = (nil +or- small amount of X). I think you're confused about logic. I get confused about it too. I'm not an expert on the subject o

Rookie is right on about motivating factors. LEC uses that knowledge of human motivation to garner revenue The center staff of LEC is incredibly low paid. The work on salary and average somewhere around 70 hours per week. We get so hooked on the mind virus that we forego reason. Money was not the impelling influence for me to go to work for LEC and become an employee. I was making way more mon

Rookie, My error apparently. I was unable to derive "My statement is saying that you model your parents whether you like it or not. " from your three lines. I like the structure of that sentence. It is forceful and direct to the point. The other post was too ambiguous for me to grasp your intent. I think it was my inability to properly interpret a sentence beginning with And. T

Glen, Forum Leaders are paid. Guy QuoteGlen Hey, all this begs one question; If these forum leaders are for the most part unpaid volunteers, and yet they've been taught all these mind manipulation techniques - do you think they at any stage become aware that they are in fact in a cult?

Rookie, It appears that your statement implies that choice of modeling is possible and that you are capable of making that choice free from influence. Are you being disingenuous or cute?

The buzz is too strong for most to leave before they get squeezed and pressed for numbers. We could then justify their leaving as it was about their inability to confront and deal with their resistance about producing results. Thus making it about the one that left as being somehow inferior than those that stayed. They were "no stand for humanity"...and all that crap. This skirt
