Roseanne, added me, I have her on my page at myspace. I just had to say that, lol. Sorry, if I went off-topic.

I had a friend who did all that Landmark bs as well - she's like a freaking zombie now, all glaze-eyed and happy. Apparently when you do those "courses", they keep you awake for days at a time. I'm sure it's to break you down and make you more susceptible to their crap.

Good ol' Chip who started Lululemon is quite the prick. He's openly racist, I remember him from his Westbeach days.

Isn't sleep deprivation quite a common brain-washing technique?

Yeah...three days without sleep and I start hallucinating...which is fun for a while, but then starts to get a bit scary...

In the late 1960s, Erhard (Werner Erhard, Landmark founder) studied Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard became a significant influence. Scientologists to this day accuse Erhard of having stolen his main ideas for est from Hubbard. We do know that when Erhard set up est 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. Erhard and his supporters accuse Scientology of being behind various attempts to discredit Erhard, including hounding by the IRS and accusations of incest by his children.
(...) est bears little resemblance to Dianetics or Scientology, however. est is a hodgepodge of philosophical bits and pieces culled from the carcasses of existential philosophy, motivational psychology, Maxwell Maltz's Psycho-cybernetics, Zen Buddhism, Alan Watts, Freud, Abraham Maslow, L. Ron Hubbard, Hinduism, Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale, P.T. Barnum, and anything else that Erhard's intuition told him would work in the burgeoning Human Potential market.

Landmark's own site at one time included a copy of a Los Angeles Times article, titled, Scientologists Ran Campaign to Discredit Erhard, Detective Says (now published on wernererhard.com, a site operated by "Friends of Werner Erhard.")

Doug E. Fresh is a scientologist.

[Voodoo Child]

Patrick Swayze was one of the ones that shocked me.

[abbyroadme]

I am so shocked how many celebs are in it. So weird....so scary!

I know he's under former members but something about Seinfeld always struck me as a Scientologist. Dont know why.

[sparkly]

Yeah, Usher has recently been added to that list. And Will Smith is probably a closet member too.
