QuoteAcid Reindeerback to the original topic of discussion, I have had it said by one grad that (paraphrasing) "comparing est to Landmark is like comparing a Model T to a sports car" so you can ready yourself for the rejoinder. also for the "LEC doesn't have anything to do with Werner Erhard". I too, have heard something similar. When I first started researching LEC

Thanks for the link. Another instance where only the top echelon of the group knows what the group is really all about. Although, fortunately word has been leaked out.

It was good to be back. I saw huge ammounts of possibility for me and my life, my partner and our future.

Yes Ellen it is easy to spot them. I added my own review. Again this is a must read if you or anyone you care about is involved in Landmark Education. The facts of Werner/Jack's life give some understanding of how he was/is able to bamboozle so many. One would think if the allegations were untrue there would have been a tremendous libel verdict against the author. More unbelieveable is

I just received this book by Steven Pressman that profiles "THe Dark Journey fo Werner Erhard from est to Exile." After reading only the Prologue and first two chapters and skimming the rest I cannot believe ANYONE would follow the teachings of such a person!!!!! I am now even MORE outraged!!!!

Well, they are "conferencing" now and my loved one has been doing it for several years. And again...NOTHING is allowed to interfere with this.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Yeah thats what they do. They are talking to new people. Several, at least two, gang up on the newbie. I thought it had something to do with work, but then I found the sheets. Wish I could've copied them.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

The conference calls are a big thing. When my loved one first started talking about them I thought it was business (she actually works for them) then i realized they read bs to each other. You cannot miss the calll for ANYTHING!!! It is really weird and disturbing. It is a way to make sure the LEKKIES stay with the program. A way to always keep control.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

However the LE Philosophy is totally contradictory to Christianity. It is more about New Age Mysticism. They try and say they are in line with Christian thinking but the deeper you get in the more you find this is definitly not something someone with a true Christian faith would want to get involved in. If she is a Christian you might try and point out how Landmarks teaching contradicts her fai

I am really interested in anyone who got sucked deeper into LE with promises of becoming one of the 50 or so Forum Leaders. Does anyone know anything about "levels" leading up to "designated leader" which I understand is still not paid. What exactly is a designated leader. Are there levels, starting with "apprentice" which lead to "designated" which I under

Speaking of WE, aka JR, I think I remember reading somewhere that he gets half of the before tax profits of LE and that the "technology" reverts to him in a few years. I am not sure where I read it, other than it was on the internet, but I know I did. Is it true? And if so that site needs to be posted.

Sgali, Thanks for the response on NLP. Although I havent been to a Forum from what has happened to my loved one it appears this is part of what LE uses. She also tries to use it on us, doesnt work. We just see it as weird language. It is very sad because she really believes she is doing something good./

So......what is probably the BEST way to stop them is to get a big media expose in the United States. If I understand correctly that is part of what took EST out was the threat of a big media exposure. (Of course EST was reborn as Landmark) Surely someone can get to the media. The big expose' shows haven't done anything really controversial in a while. With all the people who have at le

How about going with a "partner" both of you committed to dragging the other out screaming if either start showing effects?

Along the lines of stopping them...How do they get away with not paying office staff minimum wage based on hours worked? Are their not laws in the US about unpaid volunteers like in France? I have NEVER heard of a for profit corporation having volunteers do the work.
