QuoteZorroSounds to me just like one more instance of Lekkies & ESTies not being able to handle the truth. Exactly. You could present a brainwashed zombie with (100) or more psychology/psychiatry books telling them that eating more brains is bad, but they would still cling to their brainwashed zombie need to "eat more brains!". J/K, thought a little humor would be good.

QuoteVic-LucFrom what I can gather reading that pile, an LE legal maneuver via Wiki stopped the Media Cabal for Dispute Resolution dead before it could get started. LE is now using the Wiki legal process as it does in the courtrooms...suppress any and all information not approved by LE itself. That is certainly what it seems like.

QuoteJohn FoxGo to this Wikipedia page and scroll down to "Administrative Notes" OTRS is a mechanism where people can send legal complaints to Wikipedia regarding articles that they do not like. The article in question is on the biography of Werner Erhard. The process is secretive and can be abused for this reason. Would be most interesting to see who is behind the complaint.

QuoteJack Oskar LarmPersonally, Landmark attacks have come from their drones. Nothing more than verbal abuse, really. But it's the old 'sticks and stones' cliche. I haven't really put myself into the firing line, but I'm very tempted to 'picket' outside one of their forums and represent - in my small way - the other stuff these drones don't know. Ha! Is it

QuoteThe Anticultmy view is I would not jump to any conclusions until further evidence comes in one way or another about the documentary this person is working on. The credits that come up for that name are legit sources, and appear to mainly operate in the french language in another country. If they are posting on this type of forum, they are clearly looking for those who have some criticisms.

QuoteMartinHthe good news is that as soon as offices are closed they stay closed, and the spook is over, as in France, Switzerland, Sweden or Denmark ... and they leave some people happy, some people indifferent and many annoyed with Landmark. I think in the end LEC courses are not what people really want or need or what works, and the worst thing is their aggressive marketing and recruitment str

QuoteJohn FoxFWIW, Landmark Education in Brisbane, Australia is having some tough times. I think their term is a "breakdown" when you only get 15 people enrolled and showing up for a LE "relationships" course instead of the intended 60 participants. Only having 15 people enrolled/sold is not regarded as being right or wrong, but a breakdown. My take is that they

QuoteZorroAfter reading what happened to the article at the Daily Orange, I'm just ticked off more. Carol simply voiced her own experience with Landmark.
