My fiance's boss recently got brainwashed by this group, and I went with her to their seminar where members who went for their weekened course bring their family and friends to join. Basically you spend $525 to spend a weekend getting told there is something wrong with you and you must fix it through this course, follow up with a weekend retreat costing even more....this site describe the con game better than I can:

There are a ton more sites describing how much of a con game that organization is. Moral of the Story; anyone of your friends or family who brings this up, try and prevent them from putting any money towards it!!

From the LandmarkEd web site:
"Standard educational methods often leave you having to remember the concepts you were taught or trying to figure out how to apply them."

Yeah, I hate it when education burdens my brain with new information, don't you? Seriously, if I come away from any educational course not knowing how to apply what I learned, then it was a waste of my time.

Web site overall: way too bright and shiny.

Psychological terrorism. Individuals are intelligent, people are stupid.This kind of cult krap is an unfortunate side effect of over-civilisation IMHO.

This is Ebaggs fiance...I have to listen to his creepy shit everyday. The sadest part of this whole scam is that people are sending kids ages 6 and up.

A very clear cut sign that this Landmark place is full of crap is that as you dig through the site about their course.. it gives almost no information about what it really is.. but tons of testimonials how 90% of people say its so great?

Light on substance.
Heavy on BS.

The accompanying link also reveals how they use boot camp techniques like the militar does to try and break you down.. nasty nasty.
