Anyone heard of it? Anyone done it?

I have done the forum and the advanced course followed by a few follow up courses.

I think it has some really good teachings however most of the people who go are looking for excuses not reasons as why they do the things they do.

The best word to describe it is cult and was wondering if anyone else who has heard about it and seen people 'transform' or those who have done it thing it is, or if it is just 'fantastic'?

viral marketing, elsewhere

que?!

googled it, appears to be some kind of empowerment / self-help methodology

self improvement is masturbation

NO
DO NOT DO IT
STAY AWAY. Landmark is intense course that deconstructs personality and rebuilds it around continued participation in the group. Anal-retentive non-stop participation in seminars and advanced courses is sold HARD.

Landmark education is regarded as a cult. Its widly known to f*** people up and to be a pyramid scheme. Ive studied its effects @ uni and it f***s people up. It was created by a guy who used to run a christian cult and it now turns over $50 mill a year. THey make the money by forcing partcipants to sign their family up to "free sessions" where they tell you that you need help and you have to buy this help by attending sessions. More info about the process follows:

1. THE BAIT
A friend/relative tricks you with the most sincere words into attending an introductory meeting, while appealing to your trust and curiosity, or actual weakness, or all of the above.

2. THE TRAP
Group pressure techniques and wordplay are used upon you and at least 100 more people in 3 days, during which, proper rest and natural needs are denied from you.

3. THE EFFECT
Overwhelming. Might lead to personality disorders. The Forum becomes the most important thing, not its outcomes. You might become a zealot for the Forum (without even registering for the advanced courses), or addicted to it by registering for more, or both. The real effect, most importantly, is economically beneficial to the Forum (unless, of course, you lose your mind and sue them...)

DO NOT GO BACK. Im not kidding you, its well versed in psych journals that people get f***ed up by it.
http://www.rickross.com/reference/landmark/landmark22.html

Its a HUGE moneymaking scheme that focuses on the weak and inpressionable of society. Whats more is that it is just brainwashing and anyone who says anything bad about it is sued.

the Courier mail ran a story about the forum and how it was bad and they got taken to court by Landmark education. THey stifle the media so nothing gets out about them. Ive had personal experience with these lot and they are BAD BAD NEWS. STAY THE f*** AWAY FROM IT.

sounds like a pretty crappy forum, ill be sticking to qgl

so how much have you paid so far kat? is the next payment 3k lmao

Wow, thats coming from Lowgoz, Kat!
All he normally has to say is "kat1.zip". Id be heeding that adive :)
Sounds a bit like Scientology and its effects from what splat said

Persay, I didn't get dragged into a pyramid scheme. My mum wanted me to do it, so she paid for it

Oh well Kat, nice knowin' ya.

LOL

or actual weakness

My mum wanted me to do it

So even your mum can see your many faults eh?

the problem is with landmark (and every other cult) is that the people who are being affected by it don’t realise the signs.

Both my mother and father did a course and wanted me to come along "for free!", im paranoid at the best of times, so i googled it and found out that its a white collar cult. Convincing them both of what they were involved in was hard enough but they eventually realised. They kept on getting calls from the "group leader" who insisted that they take the sessions they missed as soon as possible and suggested they fly to America where the session would next be held. They use standover tactics to pry on the weak of society and steal their money while giving them a false sense of empowerment and hope.
Kat, all they are doing is making you believe that you have control over your life and your decisions where you already have that control in everyday life - im not going to get into an argument about landmark or its good and bad points or why you are there because chances are people will defend it if they think it is helping them.

Read the literature on it and realise that its f***ing bad news, and for everyone else on this forum : if you get invited to a "free" session, stay the f*** away.

Re fireblood: As i said in another thread, everyone f***s around on the forums but when a real life problem happens (cancer, landmark ect), the bulls*** goes out the window and you try and help as much as you can. Can i date your sister now?
:)

lol lowgoz i like your comparison of cancer to this heh

ps. any new telemarketer prank calls?

Sounds a bit like Scientology and its effects from what splat said

In the late 1960s, Erhard (creator of landmark education) studied Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard became a significant influence. Scientologists to this day accuse Erhard of having stolen his main ideas for Landmark Education from Hubbard.

We do know that when Erhard set up Landmark Education he considered making it a church, as Hubbard had done with dianetics and the Church of Scientology. But Erhard decided to incorporate as an educational firm for profit in a broad market.

lol lowgoz i like your comparison of cancer to this heh

cancer is an issue that goes beyond the bounderies of this forum, and so does landmark education. I was trying to indicate that its all fun and games until something happens "in real life", then it gets serious.
No calls :( but im sure there will be more in the future

so, how much is this free weekend getaway? and when is this weekend?

So even your mum can see your many faults eh?

Yes because only humans like me have faults. Everyone else is perfect.

Kat, all they are doing is making you believe that you have control over your life and your decisions where you already have that control in everyday life - im not going to get into an argument about landmark or its good and bad points or why you are there because chances are people will defend it if they think it is helping them.

I am one of the landmarkers who did the 'program' got what I could out of it and left the rest behind. I have seen too many fellow landmakers who use landmark as an excuse, use landmark speak in everyday life, and are a constant recruiter for upcoming landmark events

I still have yet to know what seperates the people who do landmark and remain normal people and those ho get sucked into it

"ive done the forum and the advanced course and a few follow up courses".

- although you say that you arn't sucked in to the scheme, i would argue and say that you have been dahl

Lowgoz, based on what exactly?

Boxhead, preaching? Read again honey

I think we can all conclude that cults are bad mmmkay?
Now to move on and show everyone once and for all that the major religions started out as shady cults too and have only gone further by gaining more advocates of their chosen cult activities.

2000 years down the track scientology may be bigger than jesus due to all the facts being fudged.

*Case in point, mormans and thats only been what 2, 3 hundred years fudging?*

I thought advertising was banned on qgl without the admins' permission.

i dont think she is advertising, but asking opinions which i have no problem with as long as qgl sides with me that landmark is the root of all that is bad.

kat: you said it in your first post that you went to a "number" of follow up courses then furthur on you say that you arn't addicted.

at $500 a course you probabliy have spent (or your mother has spent) close to 2 grand on courses. I would argue on this basis that you got sucked into a scheme

Kat, would you take what's in the box? It might be a boat

as long as qgl sides with me that landmark is the root of all that is bad.

So you agree with me and then think you are the leader of this parade?

As I said earlier, there are people who do landmark and don't get brain washed. Just because I did the program 4 years ago paid by my landmark obsessed mother) doesn't mean I am addicted.

I asked a question based on the experience I have had with people who have done it and the fact my mother is doing one of the programs for the 6th or 7th time and I have been bomarded with 'landmark calls' all weekend from her telling me her insights. 99% of the paticipants turn into the landmark poster children.

Doesn't mean that some people don't better themselves from it and doesn't mean since I got some good from it that I think it is for everyone or think that the process is helpful at all.


cliffs. Landmark can work for some people but I have yet to find a handful of those that haven't let it infect their lives. hence the question

Wow what a suprise that Kat would be dumb enough to do something like this.

It seems she gets it from her mother.

cults are bad, mmmkay

heh man it sounds pretty f***ed up, i'd like to meet some of the fanatics and lol at them

Careful guys .. you'll get pronounced "Fair Game".

lol at Fpot's and Triamks posts on here.

Mmmm...I can't say I've ever heard of any cults in Brisbane until now but now that I know I guess I'll stay away...sounds kinda creepy.

Lowgoz - sorry to hear that your parents got suckered into it but glad to hear that they at least know that now and hopefully can move on from the "experience".

lol...sorry, can't help but laugh again at Fpot's and Triamk's posts (I won't say anymore).

Also, just read the thread before that Kat posted about all the "newbies" - something tells me (though I could of course be wrong) that it was SOMEWHAT directed at me. I was going to post under that thread but it's now locked :(. Anyway, yeah, I'm a newbie but I've been lurking these forums from time to time (like once a week or so) since about April/May when a friend of mine told me about it. I find the forum quite amusing and I told a couple of my chickie babe friends about it and they suggested I join for a laugh - needless to say, it's been that! Anyway, I probably won't be posting much on here anymore and for those of you guys that added the agent99 msn address to your list, you should probably just delete it - I only set it up so that I could tell the guys who keep coming onto me (seriously or otherwise) to back off a little cos I'm not interested in meeting anyone on the net (though I'm sure you're all really nice).

Anyway, I'm off to do some study - got exams next week. Good luck to all of you guys with exams too. Catch you later :).

lol Lowgoz, yeah, we (me and my chicky babe friends) thought it was pretty funny too. No Trog in sight, but I can tell you that 7 guys added the Agent 99 msn address to their list. I feel kinda bad now - I didn't join this forum to have guys come onto me...

Anyway, I'm really off now - just had to check my emails and stuff. Ciao :).

chicky babe friends? you sound like a Alter ego of someone on these forums. Anyway, to be elegable for these forums you have to play computer games at the QGL lan, which will be held next month under the story bridge at 9pm. Make sure you bring your friends !

You idiot Paveway, everyone knows it was Persay who added Agent 99 several times under different email addresses.

So does this mean everything you told me on msn was a lie?!?!? OMG

^^ Can I come along an be a dirty old man?

only if you bring your joystick

*giggles*

Don't you mean both of my joysticks?

heheh hermi has a stick

you comming to wattyl ?

wattyl ??

For the record this thread should be noted as another example of Kat leaking her personality onto the forum for god knows what reason.

The gullible and stupid part of her personality, which is sadly probably one of it's better parts, because you pity it rather than resent it.

I think we've all seen enough of Kat's better parts thanks all the same.

heh, sucker.

stupider than I thought.

I told a couple of my chickie babe friends about it

WTF?

I'm the only person on here that uses the "chicky babe" word thingy.

>8-(

SHES MINE

*girly slaps rev*

ausgamers has an IRC channel you know

haha 7 newbs added the address, shame. it's rule #1 from the playa guide never to take orders from a ho

it's rule #1 from the playa guide never to take orders from a ho

i assume your talking about your mother because if you were as immature IRL as you are on these forums, the only things ladies will do to you is laugh !

i wish you were kat, paying you out wouldn't make me feel so bad

well he's almost on the same level with kat with these threads he's making, so don't feel bad

Thanks for the heads up Lowgoz, some interesting info from those links you posted back on page 1. Just goes to show that if you can exploit people's insecurities, you can make them believe anything.

Do you know what happens to the apostates who leave the program ?

Kat, you're an demonstrably insecure fool, so i hope you take lowgowz advice and stay the f*** away from this cult, despite the naggings of your clearly bats*** insane mother.

Do you know what happens to the apostates who leave the program ?

ill use my mother as an example and describe what has happend since she told them to f*** off.

1) she is on the mailing list and gets heaps of snail mail which i guess is normal
2) her friends that she made at the forum call her and tell her they arn't gona talk to her anymore if she doesn't come to another session with them
3) "team leaders" used to call her saying she had no self respect for not turning up to landmark sessions and that she is personally letting the "team" down by not paying her $500 and doing the session


Landmark's stragity is to blame the individual person if they arn't getting anything out of the course and strong-arming them into doing another "advanced" course. If you refuse they tell you that your problem is that you quit at everything and thats why your life is crap.

The "homework" assignment for the landmark forum is for the partcipant to go home and get 5 people to come to the "dree supper and information" evening. After which those 5 people are taken aside and activly recruited to attend the forum. This chain mail tactic ensures that the forum's partcipants always are on the rise. Its f***ing disgusting. Anyone publising bad comments about the forum gets a huge lawsuit against them - thats why you see nothing in the media but a lot of stuff on the internet.

ahah he said bats***

er, agent 99, im fairly sure no one was actually "coming on to you" as such, im pretty sure it was just playfull banter.

btw, i think agent 99 is actually manlissa.

what is the 500 actually spent on? like is it just a three hour conference or is it a weekend away or something?

Persay: Landmark Forum is Friday, Saturdy Sunday 8am-11pm (onwards) and Tuesday night 7-11pm

Advanced course is Thursday through to Sunday 8am to 11pm (onwards) and Tuesday 7-11pm

Advanced course is Thursday through to Sunday 8am to 11pm (onwards) and Tuesday 7-11pm

Thursday 8am - 11pm (15 hour day)
Friday 8am - 11pm (15 hour day)
Saturday 8am-11pm (15 hour day)
Sunday 8am-11pm (15 hour day)

The Forum attempts to deconstruct personal attachments in a non-abusive manner by focussing your attention inward: The basis is being kept in a hotel ballroom for 10 hour days with little sleep, listening to the same thing over and over and over. Most of it consists of having people look at their childhood, and find the events that caused them to make decisions about other people, especially their parents.

You can't go to the bathroom when you want, you take meals in groups, there are strict rules about talking and conduct, and the leader won't hesitate to shame you into compliance. Much of it is psychology parlor tricks, like making a headache go away by imagining it as a physical void in your head, and imagining it being filled. This goes on for four full days. The last 1/2 day is sales night. This night, all the participants are told to bring friends and relatives. The focus of the evening is on sales: signing up your relatives for the Forum, and signing YOU up for advanced classes.

^^^^ Couldn't have put it better myself

except you quoted the advanced course not the forum (note they want you to sign up for the advanced course at the end of the quote)

Pretty funny picture Maxe. And like i said before, Kat has no shame. So while i've never heard of such a cult group by this name before, and lowgoz posted some good detailed and interesting information, it doesn't suprise me she'd be involved directly or indirectly in such a thing.

Also i don't believe persay asked for the exact hours of operation or what days these scams are held but just what the money was spent on. Is that a subliminal recruitment attempt i see?

I am not trying to recruit anyone and I have no desire for anyone to do this forum or become apart of this company.

The fact I have done this doesn't mean I have no shame and it doesn't mean I am stupid.

Not a cult, eh

Who exactly are you trying to convince? I called it a cult in my first post you moron.

slow down, put down the sarin gas a kool-aid ok?

i would so hate to be kat right now

You would be very confused. I am on the same side of the fence as you Lowgoz, I just happened to have experiences it first hand.

I still don't understand why you are still acting as if you have a different view of LME than I do.

maybe i should call you and tell you how much i regret my past kat

either that or i could go on qgl and request more pictures for my zip file


i choose the second option.

The fact I have done this doesn't mean I have no shame

kat.zip

and it doesn't mean I am stupid.

3 of your inane threads per day say otherwise.

you have convinced us of both those things long before this thread.

this thread has heaps of insanely childish bitching, but nowhere near enough 4wd's so here's a couple of pics hot off the press from this weekend:

how many qgl posters does it take to drive one 4wd up a hill?

OMG THE MANAFOLD IS OVERHEATING

love the maxe film

f*** cults

Sounds like they're trying to be a bunch of f***ing freemasons.

Kat are you a freemason ? i think there's a conspiracy going on here since you havent been perm banned yet.

freemasons are cool, dont rag on them. If you are ever cool or influential enough to be asked to join a chapter THEN post about how much it sucks, because you have no idea what goes on behind those closed doors

Are you telling my you're a freemason josh ?

Why wouldn't you be, you're affliated with the big brother website and all.

f***ers want me non existant so i have every right to "rag" on them.

Whitewolf: Also, yeah, NOT ALL of the 7 guys tried to come onto me under the Agent 99 msn address, but a few of you did (I won't mention any names)...anyways, we (me and my friends) all thought it was hilarious :). But seriously, I did mainly set it up cos Persay was kinda freaking me out but Persay didn't even add me (at least I don't think he did...).

lol at the rest of the posts :). Nice 4WD post thread-topic changer ppl :).

ok, im requesting a pic of agesnt 99

Yes, guys, I'm all woman (no alter ego)...as I said, just started posting up here for a laugh (what can I say...I'm just another mischeivous student with too much time on my hands, lol) - you guys are hilarious and bring much amusement to my otherwise boring breaks between classes at uni :).

Just so you are aware, a good GPA does not make you "smart".

It means you have a good GPA. If anything as qualifications increase attachment with reality decreases.

Also, sorry Paveway-3 - I actually happen to think that some of the guys I spoke to the other night on msn were quite nice people...though a few of you said some things which led me to believe that you wanted more than was EVER on offer.

Gotta run guys - got an assignment due at midday! :).

Edit: No, I'm not Michelle Q and I don't know her, sorry!
Also - yeah, I know a good GPA doesn't NECESSARILY mean you are "smart"...it firstly depends on how you define "smart"...

Dear Darius,

On behalf of all Australian Tax Payers I'd just like to say Shape up or Ship Out you tax wasting c*** of a student

If anything as qualifications increase attachment with reality decreases

I disagree - that's not necessarily the case. Whilst I'd have to say that I study a fair bit, I'm also pretty good at being efficient with my time so that I can still have a life and be a person and so therefore remain in touch with "reality". But anyways, that's just my opinion :). Chat to you later kids, I've really got to get this assignment printed off and handed in!!! :)

Hey lighten up stinky the world needs labourers, checkout operators and cartoonists too.

I like how you believe you are qualified agent 99 ... I thought you were still "studying"

f*** off Xy ... it's that time of the month again and I'm seeing red!

^
lol Obes, I don't think I'm "qualified"...in fact, part of being a studying is understanding that you never really "know" everything...

("I am the wisest man in Athens because I know I do not know" - Plato ->love that quote :) ).

And yeah, I am still studying - but doesn't mean that I still don't kick butt! :).

K...

lol Xy - not sure who that comment was referring to but IF it was referring to me, what can I say? I'm a deep thinker, lol :).

That's cool...



















At parties I tell people my name is Byron and I'm a cunnilinguist...



...It's a half truth.

No it wasn't, I was just commenting at the amount of times i've been told to "f*** off" on these forums in the last week or so.

I shall repeat what everyone tells Kat ... not everything is about you now go finish your assignment and stop wasting time on the forums hey? ;P

Yeah, sorry if I've been a bit of an "attention whore" today - I thought I was just being assertive at the time but upon second readings I suppose I have been a little full of myself. It was probably just because I wrote an awesome assignment at the eleventh hour and surprised myself. But it's cool, I'm over myself now...

Edit:

^ lol Crizane - you study Linguistics don't you? Maybe you are a cunning linguist?


Well we linguists are trained to be good with our tongues :P

And no, a99, I'm not trying to make a move on you...

Yeah I know you weren't making a move on me Crizane.

your not the only one, i wrote an industrial relations assignment and scattered refrences through it then got a D.

uni is so random

Sounds much like Scientology to me.

Welcome to the intenret Amaya :P

I'm over myself now...

I don't think you are actually.

Once you're cocky you're always cocky.

A99 appears to have shame and self intergrity tho, so it's ok.

And this thread is still going? And they use hotels right? So what would they do if you gave them s*** from outside? It's public land. Maybe this cult has evil flying monkeys they send after dissenters before the lawyers come out.

Reading through thread and rofling at stinkys completely random comments.

I think you'll find if you post nude pics of yourself online people will be much more forgiving of you ... it worked for Obes!

I have awesome legs

its whats inside that counts

its whats inside that counts

That is what ugly people say

"Kat: its whats inside that counts"

hehehehe sorry I couldn't help myself!

its whats inside that counts

kat's different, shes ugly on the inside too.

Just so you are aware, a good GPA does not make you "smart".

It means you have a good GPA. If anything as qualifications increase attachment with reality decreases.

Trying to make yourself feel better Obes?

nup typo ... stating an opinion.

Apparently your entire self worth is wrapped up in your UQ degree... when you get it (if you haven't already)

a good GPA when you're over 25 is even less worthless.

A99 isn't hot, why else would you be so self conscious you wouldn't want to post pics.

^^This post may in fact be an incredibly weak, lame and overused reverse psychology trick.^^

Also, did anybody else cringe at Kat's posts?
Kat - it sounds to me like you're trying to self-reassure in this thread and really attempting to use the "perspective" that has been spoon-fed to you.
Almost as if you came in here knowing what s*** would stir and testing out your new "perspective and way of looking at things/thinking".

It's akin to going out and deliberately angering/frustrating/upsetting yourself and trying to convince yourself to think positively and consciously change your emotion.

In short, it blows balls and seems fake.

I have spent the last 24 hours in hospital being blew every hour as part of a medical trial

The way this thread has progressed has made my return home so worth it


Thanks kids

What do you mean by that spidz?

just a cheap shot at typo.

run along

k, was just hoping GPA's do mean nothing when compared to experience etc

Stinky: its whats inside that counts

lol - love u Stinky :).

A99 isn't hot, why else would you be so self conscious you wouldn't want to post pics.

lol, thanks! Let me clarify things for you guys. I'm not posting my picture on this forum or anywhere else on the internet because:
1. I don't have a scanner or a webcam to to aid me in posting a picture up (I'd rather spend my money on shoes).
2. I don't know you guys...AND I have to question exactly WHAT would happen to any pictures if they were posted up...
3. Not all of you guys have posted your pictures, so why would I???
Just something for you guys to think about...

Darius: k, was just hoping GPA's do mean nothing when compared to experience etc

Let's cut to the point - a GPA is not an indication of how smart one is. It is merely a representation of how much arse you kicked in your assignments and exams whilst at uni. NOTHING ELSE. It doesn't mean you can hold a conversation; it doesn't mean you can drive a 4WD and take awesome shots of it; and it doesn't mean you can survive in the "real" world.
For whatever it is worth, I happen to think "living" and having "experience" is farrrr more important than having a kick arse GPA...I just think having a kick arse GPA helps...

I've got an exam this afternoon ppl - wish me luck! ;)

BTW, good luck to all in their exams too.

I have to question exactly WHAT would happen to any pictures if they were posted up...

just look at kat.

Thats what will happen

3. Not all of you guys have posted your pictures, so why would I???

that just simply isn't true.

also, I don't want you to post a pic anyway, one attention whore is enough.

also, FYI

Yeah, spidz gets s***ty if someone tried to take his title

lol - love u Stinky :).

Gimme some sugar baby!

I have to question exactly WHAT would happen to any pictures if they were posted up...

you would have the girls in the rubber dinghy shopped in behind you.

^
Rofl - so true Infi :).

Stinky: You rock too.

AND I have to question exactly WHAT would happen to any pictures if they were posted up...

a 600 reply thread full of sweet juicy e-drama?

a 600 reply thread full of sweet juicy e-drama?

lol Maxe, nice :)...but clearly I don't need to post any pictures to start a 600 reply thread full of sweet juicy e-drama (how many posts to this thread so far...which was about what again?).

Next thread people :).

if you want to be the centre of a truly epic thread and become QGL folklore, you will post it.

Stinky: You rock too.

Flattery will get you everywhere!

Sorry, no pics Infi - refer to the above info, particularly point one :).

Plus, I don't want to be the centre of attention - it seems I have become that though because I'm not a guy - fair point? (and hence why I'm not going to post up here much anymore). You guys are all great though and I'll be reading QGL regularly (and I'll probably still post but only very occassionally) :).

Catch you later kids - I've got an exam at 5:45pm in the UQ Centre. If you really want to know what I look like, come and find me (I'll be the hot, blonde one ;P).

You know what's funny? I actually checked my watch for a split second to see if I'd have time to get in to UQ...

this is out of my jurisdiction guys, im on the gold coast its all up to you

Replying in this thread for posterity.

Let's not forget point 4 A99: Dignity. Plus not knowing just allows everyone to fantasize instead. :)

I'm not a landmark sucker, but I do have this whip!

this chick has no shame.

is there some sort of record for saying I'm not going to post in the same thread multiple times?

Cmon UQ people ... go get that photo...

yeh ok

I'll be at UQ later anyway, might just duck into the UQ centre and find a99 in the roughly 1,500 people taking exams there at any one time

It's finally made it it onto Today Tonight, tomorrow night.

Would love to know what they have to say.

boo landmark

b& for thread revival!

Today Tonight should give them a fair and equitable story.

s***, rereading this thread, doesnt 2005 seem like yesterday!?

I read the first page of the thread... so I think this means Kat bashing is cool again?
