I'm curious to know if Rick Ross can read or write French?

QuoteelenaQuoteturambarQuoteelena I've seen several Landmark Forum leaders in action, now. They were all very, very different in their speaking techniques (which as a frequent National Forensics League speech and debate judge I like to observe), and about half were women. I'm pretty sure that at this point, you're making this stuff up as you type it. Uhhhh..... No.

QuoteelenaQuotecritical_thinker To my knowledge, none of the personal injury claims have ever been successful against the Landmark Forum: 1) Stephanie Ney (jury verdict in favor of LE) 2) Tracy Neff (sexual harrassment) 3) Been versus Weed cross Landmark (withdrawn, refiled) In over 880,000 Landmark Forum participants, that's all we have. LE won the Ney case outright. The Neff

QuotebabsbibbI was wondering if anyone who was a former Landmark participant could tell me what the phrase "In the sewage" means, my friend who has just gotten involved with landmark has used this phrase and I have no clue as to what it means. I think that came from an event called "Causing the Miraculous" one or two years ago and, if my memory is correct, it simply means t

Quoterrmoderatorturambar: You are not doing meaningful research. See This is the introduction to the Landmark litigation file (note the hyper links to documents). Landmark is essentially EST, very little has changed. Think of it as rearranging the deck chairs. Werner Erhard is not visible, but his family members are. Erhard created the so-called seminar "technology" and

QuoterrmoderatorYou claim to be a "critical thinker"? The exchange within the Forum is visible now to anyone through Daily Motion on the Internet. See Have you watched it? The Forum leader berates the woman for almost and hour and reduces her to tears, then mocks her crying and says maybe she should get cancer and die or commit suicide.

We can drop the "apologist" label and look at each issue on its merits. 1) Settlements are regularly sealed by just about any business. That's part of the bargain for settling. 2) I trust that you will make everything publically available to the extent nothing prohibits that. What prohibits the LE complaint from being made public RIGHT NOW (today)? Surely LE had to have kn

1) Some of the articles report facts and a lot of opinion. There are other points of view. I think the three legal claims (with the exception of the sexual harrassment claim which happened off premises) should be struck because the resolution favored LE. Many articles are favorable to LE and included in CultNews but don't make it to the LE group page, e.g., "Homework assignment promo

1) Most organizations get some level of bad press. It also gets quite a bid of good press. 2) Landmark Education has obtained about 15 retractions over the years from the press, and they have won a few verdicts for defamation. In no jurisdiction can any entity sue for a matter of opinion. Landmark Education must have asserted that A) facts were presented, B) the facts were false and C) the

Landmark Education is not banned in any country. In France, the practice of assisting (donated labor) has been declared illegal by the French labor ministry. The MILS (an administrative agency of the French government had called LE a sect, but the legistalation authorizing the MILS did not define the term sect). Landmark Education has almost consistently (with few exceptions) won retractions o

I see from the RickRoss archives that there have been three lawsuits since 1991 against Landmark Education (and 850,000 customers in that time frame): 1) Stephanie Ney versus Landmark Education (where the jury ruled in favor of Landmark Education and the appeals court upheld the verdict in favor of Landmark Education). The jury outright did not believe her, and the appeals court rejected in w
