In reply to Anybody ever attend the "Landmark Forum"?, posted by claudea on August 26, 1999, at 0:50:41
Thanks for all of your input everyone.
I am still undecided, because I have heard both good and bad things about it. But they called me at work to see if I was going to sign up for the forum and I told them that I was undecided. The person asked why and I said because of page 4 of their form. She didn't know what I was talking about so she transfered me to the Registrar, who seemed real pissed and confrontational. I asked him to calm down because I just wanted to ask a simple question---why did they need the mental health info. I told him that I could lie and put no to everything, but that would partially defeat the purpose of the forum which is to be honest with yourself.
After awhile of fishing for reasons why I had to fill it out he said that their mental health professionals advised them that it was required by law. I asked him if he could cite the law for me so I could look it up (all the while using the same voice I use when I negotiate contracts at work and he kept getting more aggravated.) He said that I could call their HQ. I told him that I don't think work would appreciate me calling San Fransisco. So after calling his HQ, he called me and told me that I made him learn something----there is NO law requiring them to ask. He was very controntainal, lost his cool a number of times and even accused me of writing everything down so I could sue them. I wasn't writing anything down, but boy was his paranoia showing through.
It strange though, I still kinda want to attend because I too, feel I am in a rut.
Argh!!
