QuoteJaredDC Do you think I could be OK doing the forum if I kept in mind when I went in that I was walking into a dangerous place, and made a commitment to myself in advance to not sign up for any advanced courses, not volunteer for Landmark, and not call anybody to "complete" past relationships and definitely not recruit anyone into Landmark, as well as avoided some of the freakier

QuoteON2 LFQuotecaligariIt takes energy to continually suppress information that keeps cracking through: Wow! What an informational 7:02 minutes! No doubt YouTube will soon have threats and whining to contend with, probably before the day is over.

Quoteboonetahoe 1. I have no reason to want to hate LGATs. I haven't "lost" relationships, loved ones or money to an LGAT. The net result of the LGAT experience in my life over the last ten years has been good for my family, good for my marriage, good for my extended family and good for my career and friendships. Oh boy, if I had a pound for every time i heard "i don

QuoteboonetahoeThe principle behind the Large Group Awareness Training is as simple as it is universal: life can be better if we take time out to think about it (and to experience it from a distance.) Putting all of the issues relative to LGATs aside for a moment – the manipulation, the abuse of power, the spiritualistic excesses – the general idea behind group training is that we can possibly

QuoteMartinH What were they saying about Mother Teresa's work? I don't recall much if anything. There are many objections that a guest or a rebel landmarkian can raise in their classes. One of the most hated is the 'for-profit' argument. It goes like "if you are all about love, commitment and saving the world, why do you charge people? why don't you go no

QuoteyutoliaThis strikes me as similar to Landmark's practice of claiming past people of great importance "did not have access to the Forum but embodied it's meaning" and that these people would have been "enrolled" if they had the opportunity.

Did he invite you to an intro at his house? a 'home introduction'? S**t. When they give their own houses for the introductions, it's a bad sign. My advise is: DO NOT go there. Cancel it. Home introductions are designed to recruit those who won't even come to their centers. They're much pushier because of the more intimate and trusted setting . Plus, there's a cha

Quotejoe6What Landmark does over the next 10 years depends on the "Second Coming" of Werner Erhard from exile.

Werner is not out of the picture at all. See this thread: Uns

QuotebigdogWhile reading all the info here on Landmark, I find myself wondering about their ultimate purpose. Can anyone tell me what it is? Yes, I know they are after money. But sooner or later, their rank and file have to become financially depleted. And new recruits have to eventually become harder and harder to find. Then what? Political power? World domination?

QuoteON2 LF I don't understand how she could use this mess as a success story. She tried and failed to recruit me, and failed to keep the friendship in the process.

QuoteON2 LF I struggle with the thought that, in landmarkia, no one has a true friend. If a person snaps out of the lekkie trance, they've got no one left to be there for them. If I walk or run, my friend is left in the same boat. Where is the healthy boundary? That's true.

I went to the office to complain about the call. They denied the call was made from the office. I have also told me that to call me again was illegal. They said they understood that.
