QuoteSaneAgain Isn't weird to forget so many things? Is that part of it do you think? How do you remember so much? I have read some years ago that forgetting is a natural defense of the mind when you suffer some trauma, i don't remember the details, so yes i think it is part of it, of the brainwashing. It helps them a lot: it protects them and it let them suck the people in more (&q

Wayne, about landmark, just read this forum and the websyte database, you'll find everything you need to now. just one trivia info from an ex insider about the introduction and everyone looking sooooo happy: it's rehearsed. it is actually rehearsed. not the intro, THE HAPPYNESS. they (we) rehearsed being happy to get the people in. to 'enroll' them.

I’ve been told it’s good to write down about your experience once you’re out of a cult or a LGAT, it gives you a big help in understanding what you’ve been through and healing yourself.
