John, I understand your frustration that we aren't all jumping to get on YouTube with our stories, but the way I see it, it's kind of a trade-off.
If I were to get on YouTube, they would be able to identify me, and then I would have to be careful about what I said, lest I ended up getting sued. I think that most of us would also be concerned over the safety of family members, etc. On this forum, I can post anonymously, and that has allowed me to give more information. I think that many of us are digging for information that we can use against Landmark in court. There are tons of testimonials that should make that easy enough, but the problem is proving our allegations. I will show my face if we get them into court.
@Hopeful Soul, I think the fact that they have moved to an online format might be helpful, in some ways. I don't think that some of their tactics would be as effective, especially the stuff that's designed to subtly, physically manipulate the participants.
They could still cause sleep deprivation, I guess, but they can't keep people crowded into a windowless room, or mess with the room temp. People could sit and munch on snacks, go to the bathroom as needed. It would greatly reduce their physical control of participants. Also, people who would otherwise be chased down the hall and talked out of walking out can just switch off the computer. It's so much easier! I don't think they can control people as easily that way. Maybe more will see right through it, but I really don't know. We can hope.
