I am so happy that potential disciples out there are doing research on the WI and asking questions about it. Of COURSE the people at the weekend "seemed to genuinely want to help." That is the expectation of of B&J at these things...they want their people to recruit as much fresh meat as possible. Believe me, those folks are coached well as to how to make others feel "seen&quo

BRAVO, Grateful!! Congratulations on your first year anniversary! I admire your courage and I can appreciate the anxiety you must feel with having your name out there. But, take heart because they can't hurt you! At least not since you now call your life and mind your own. I totally support you and know that all you say about them is true. So attractive on the outside and yet twisted and ro

Again, back to the Playboy guy. I distinctly remember speaking to one of the guys in the Men's Guild about Playboy once upon a time. He was doing his "beliefs about women" assignment. He spoke very passionately against Playboy and all the other girlie magazines. He went on and on about how media like that had brainwashed so many men in this culture to believe that these perfect sex

WHAT??!!?? You have GOT to be kidding!! So much for all Judith's crap about the"sacredness of the feminine." I wonder how the participants in the Women's Essential would react to this news. I will bet that this guy is like a feather in B & J's cap--someone associated with the WI who is making tons of money and credits B & J as having helped him get there. No matt

Hi--Just wanted everyone to know that the Yelp review that was gone has now reappeared. That is so wierd. Anyway, read it if you get the chance because it is excellent.

Hi grateful---Thank you for all of your contributions. I know how difficult the break with WI must have been and I admire your strength. I also admire your computer skill. For the life of me I cannot access that YELP review. I have tried over a dozen times and every time I go to "The Wright Institute" under YELP--Chicago there are only four reviews left and the one we talked about in th

Does anyone know where the "yelp" review went? Someone mentioned that the WI probably had it removed because it was too damaging. Can they really do that? Does anyone still have it and could it somehow be posted here? I am not at all computer savvy so forgive me if my questions seem naive...they are. That review was one of the best that I have seen. To "grateful to be out"

Grateful, I am very happy that you are out there and willing to share. There is wisdom in what you are saying about stopping the resistance. I hope that citygirl is reading this as I think that she is a lot of pain in the struggle with her daughter and thier relationship. I, too have backed way off from my friend and just let her be to follow her own path. I pray for her and wish her well. W

Grateful, I cannot thank you enough for your contribution. I can relate to all of it. I keep hearing about how Bob and Judith run things so much better and more gently than they did in the early 90's. Hmmm.....doesn't much sound like it from your perspective. Again, thank you very, very much for sharing.

I can't tellyou how many times my friend has told me that people don't really need as much sleep as they think that they do. For long stretches she would be going on 4 hours of sleep a night and it was some sort of badge of honor. To Theyareacult, it sounds like you have been invloved at WI recently...have you? I was involved when Bob called his company "Human Effectiveness Inc
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

When I was involved with Bob and Judith they never, ever did anything for free. My friend has informed me of these free programs that they now offer as a way of providing evidence of how much Bob and Judith have changed and "evolved" from what they were before. From what "theyareacult" writes, they actually sound like they have gotten much, much worse. Talk about creepy. It

I have been reading this thread for the past 3 months or so. I sort of stumbled across it when I was looking for information on the internet about a $300.00 a plate fundraiser for the WI that I had heard about. Anyway, I was very, very happy to see this site because it validated so much of what I have been feeling and saying for over 10 years now. It is so good to know that there are others out t
