Someone tried to recruit me into a cult today
    #5640142 - 05/16/06 11:06 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

So, my mom took me to dinner today, and told me that she had talked to some guy who said he had gone to some sort of "self-improvement seminar" and he thought I could benefit from it. I looked over the program for it, and it didn't really appeal to me, but I was open to it. Tonight, he called my mom on her cell phone and she handed the phone to me to let me talk to him. He said I should really come out tomorrow night, and that it would really change my life around. I told him I had other plans, and he tried to convince me to cancel them. He started to get really pushy about it, and said something like "Don't you want to find yourself, and improve your life?" I told him to quit being so preachy with me, and eventually hung up on him. He immediately called back, and my mom handled the situation. God, I'm sure glad I already had plans for tomorrow night. What a douche.

you are already part of a cult, and you should have told him that.

My best friend went to some seminars similar to that. They were cult like. The people wanted you to go to more always. While it was helpful, all the stuff was common sense.

I wish I could remember the name of the seminars.

Tony Robbins doesen't just take your money, he takes your immortal soul. Good thing you had the mental resolve to work your way out of that situation. I wouldn't want to hear that you'd gone down in a hail of gunfire when your whacko polygamist deathcult decided to take on the government.

Was it called "Landmark"? I went to one of their free recruiting seminars... It was amazing how fast people shelled out hundreds of dollars to go to more of the same...Though I have to admit I did get a touch of the "warm fuzzies", it still was obviously a big money making ploy, they don't teach you anything. My friend did it and called me from one of their seminars, she totally wasn't herself. Maybe it's a form of hypnotism.

Look into ericksonian hypnosis, invented (described maybe?) by Milton H. Erickson.
