I barely survived the Landmark Forum weekend. A very frightening experience. I rejected what they professed and their lures for more seminars.

Thank you bradbavarde for your courage in delivering this video.

@kalitexnis10 Thank you for sharing your comment

to each man there own, and you come across as a victim, you look very much in your head, you possibly get gratification by enrolling the internet in your story, you could go on and on and you do .. you are entitled to your opinion, and your thinking is very limiting, you pigeon hole others with your word perhaps. your context is what creates, so go create something else besides gum flap.. cheers mate .. love ya..

@MrJaimeDean I agree, I do process a lot in my mind, but I think it is interesting you use the term "enroll" when referring to my actions. This is definite Landmark speak. So something has gottent through.

I would not go to any function that tries to refain you from going to the restroom. That is just plain unhealthy. Also, not allowing note taking?  What the hey is that about?

[bradbavarde]

@msbeachboard Thanks for your comment. When I asked why I could not take notes, I was told that it was not the way the system worked. When I told the lady leading the forum that I was a visual learner, and I learned best by doing so, she responded - "well, that is only your perception". Odd, isn't it?

Lets look at the facts shall we? From my understanding not even ONE Landmark Leader or "coach" has a PHD or any credible education or background in phycology, counselling, mental healt etc.... everything is scripted by commanders. I let these people into my girls head and when she “introduced” me to Landmark and I declined, she declined on our relationship 2 years ago. Beware, if you need to release the past hurts and pain, do it one on one with a PROFESSIONAL!

Not my experience at all. Yes there is terminology used in the LF as would be expected in a seminar, but the reality is some of the words (like integrity, possibility, etc.) are examined in a new way, and their use tends to be so spot on that people LIKE them and maybe use them too much. I tend to avoid "Landmark jargon" nor do I belong to any "cult" but the LF was mind-blowing, and maybe that scares people. Also, I saw people (inc. me) going in and out the doors for the restroom w/o a prob.

Thank You for your honesty. I felt the same way as you and made a very good decision to steer clear of what I call is a cult.
