Land Mark forum is very dangerous! It took some of my friends years to get out and when they did it too even more years to get over the damage done. Stay away!

As to the money... well, it costs what it costs, and you can accuse any corporation of raking in money from innocent victims. These programs have been terrifically instrumental in my life, not in the realms of "belief" but in seeing possibilities to embrace. I will always be grateful for how Werner Erhard's commitment to his vision has contributed to my sense of wonder at human potential.

@ytcarol they just prefer you don't use the bathroom for information you might miss out on, if you can hold it, great, if you can't, go! no ones physically stopping you, nor do they want to, thats just cruel.

@quincee33 you really do have to go to get it. The set up they have is to pack a lot of information in a little bit of time, and most of the breakthroughs you have aren't even from the course material, its in other people sharing and you interacting, asking questions.

@lordphantomau agreed, they rent the space they don't even own it. They try to get a convenient location in major cities so more people are able to find a way to attend.

[louwashere47]

@newmind1 but your still talking about it. Couldn't have gotten that far, could you?

[newmind1]

@louwashere47

Well...I'm glad I'm not any where near this program anymore. Landmark is just like Scientology,

[louwashere47]

@newmind1 they have a 3 step program, completely your choice. There was no Kool-aid, all I know is everyone I have completed this process with have grown to be extraordinary individuals, with a greater understanding, less stress, and have done wonderful things with their lives. Cult or not, I'm proud to have completed Landmark.

[newmind1]

@louwashere47 yes...that's what all cults say. the have a 12 step program now for cult like thinking

[lordphantomau]

@GoneFreeriding I can assure you that the buildings (at least here) have windows. If yours don't, that's an issue to take up with the architect isn't it? Landmark don't build them. Also, people are free to go to the toilet, or get a drink of water any time they like.

[lordphantomau]

@newmind1 Years to get out of a three day course? Very strange. I just went home on the Sunday night. Are you sure your friends did the Landmark Forum?

[quincee33]

@stuligin my friend's brother in law is part of it, but if it's NOT a cult, then tell some details about it? or do i have to go to one of their seminar's.
