A spoof of the cult-like "Landmark Forum". Here's Landmark Forum for Cats!

Dude ...  what in the world are you using your time for? ... I like good debates but there is nothing to say other than ... what are you doing? You are on YouTube talking like a crazy person to a cat ...

@brurgito I'm just mirroring the video. If you research The Landmark Forum, this is exactly the kind of stuff they would have you do when you pay them for "training". Smacks a lot of $cientology.

@NomenNescioNY These Landmark morons are about taking your money, and nothing else. Psycho-babble boneheads that lure in "fools" and separate them from their money.

you are the only Landmark hater on all of you tube that seems to have even a spark of joy or original intelligence. so I salute you, for that spark. and I love Landmark just for the record. Hope you find something that really lights your fire.

[NomenNescioNY]

@Sophios Thank you. I wish I could take the creative credit but this funny video was created by Brad Bavarde . I found it humorous and often serious topics sometimes need a bit of tomfoolery to relieve the stress of serious discourse.

I'm glad you found the Landmark Forum useful, and cannot argue with that. I am still skeptical of their methods and claims, but am willing to learn more.

@Sophios Oh, and I'm not a hater. Just a skeptic.

The founder was Werner Erhard. He studied Scientology and incorporated a lot of what he learned into his "EST- Erhard Seminar Training". EST had some real whacky practices: Participants were bull-baited, called "assholes", had their watches confiscated, Groups of participants were brought onto the stage and confronted by est staff "bullbaiting" them, trying to provoke a reaction; afterwards, participants -cont-

Whats the connection between landmark and scientology? A friend of a friend is going to landmark and being able to prove a connection between the two may be of use to us.

[NomenNescioNY]

@Fernt Groups of participants were brought onto the stage and confronted by est staff "bullbaiting" them, trying to provoke a reaction; afterwards, participants were asked to "imagine that they were afraid of everyone else and then that everyone else was afraid of them. They were not allowed to leave their chairs unless asked to, or to smoke, eat or drink, and bathroom visits were only permitted during designated breaks. Sessions lasted from 9:00 AM to midnight w/ one meal break -cont-

@Fernt How does all this tie into Landmark? "In 1991 the group that would shortly form Landmark Education purchased the intellectual property of Werner Erhard. In 1998, Time Magazine published an article about Landmark Education and its historical connection to Werner Erhard and Scientology. The article stated that: "In 1991, before he left the U.S., Erhard sold the 'technology' behind his seminars to his employees, who formed a new company called the Landmark Education Corp -cont-

[NomenNescioNY]

@Fernt The Church of Scientology included "ERHARD, WERNER", "EST (ERHARD SEMINAR TRAINING)", a series of est offices, "FORUM, THE" and "WERNER ERHART AND ASSOCIATES" on (for example) a 1992 edition of its list of "Suppressive Persons and Groups".

Snider described Erhard's classification as a "Suppressive Person" as part of a Scientological "Fair Game" policy against him, which she referred to as "a sort of Scientologic fatwah"

Do a LOT more research and confront your bro with what you find...

@EnricCirne Thanks for the correction. That's what I initially thought. I changed the description to reflect the OP.
