Anthony Rapp and Landmark Education Here is a vid on YouTube comparing Scientology, a speech about Landmark Education by the famous actor Anthony Rapp, and a brief segment of the French video at the end. Snag it while you can. Amusing.

Looks like the video has been taken down by the user, "Jessie". Couldn't stand the scrutiny perhaps? Embarassed about volunteering for a for-profit company? Oh well.

Quotenothing has even happened, and many are postulating and judging how much trouble this person is or might be. "nothing has ever happened" This is an altered view of reality and history.

QuoteToday, speaking to someone who lives in France, I learnt that Landmark has left France, Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland! He says he'll try to find out more for me about the details in these cases, although language is obviously a problem. It would be good to find out more info that can be posted in English.

Looks like some YouTube user put up an interesting comment over there: QuoteSo sad. How Landmark Education takes advantage of these people. They were investigated for unfair labor practices in France, and shut down in France. They also recently had to shut down in Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland. They were investigated by the United States Department of Labor in 1998 for unpaid-labor practices,

QuoteYou can see just below that part of the Wiki entry, the Landmark representatives have made entries saying how they are "training" those folks to be Leaders, and lots of other lies along those lines.

QuoteAnd perhaps that would be the beginning of a mass exodus of volunteers, if enough people did not sign up, business would start to fall off.

QuoteWith regard to Landmark and other LGATs, this series (season 2) did an interesting dramatisation of this phenomena over several episodes. Yes, it's kind of light hearted, but its handling of the material, like so much of this series, is honest and powerful. Interesting. Can you give a synopsis/overview of how LGATs/Landmark is dealt with in Season 2?

Interesting blog post: QuoteTo the surprise of many kook-watchers, it appears that Landmark has recently begun following in Scientology's footsteps.

If people spent just 30 minutes a day posting links, and publicizing what Landmark is doing, it would really begin to add up. They could post to newsgroups, forums...contact media outlets, and do anything else they can

Interesting blog post: QuoteI haven’t watched the vid to the end yet. I’m dying to dig into it later tonight; the little I saw looks meaty.
