corboy is correct. Also, you are better off simply saying "no," and stressing that you have absolutely ZERO interest.
If you give your would-be recruiter reasons for why you cannot attend, they are trained to magically come up with "solutions" to every obstacle.
In the seminars, the seminar leaders train particpants to recruit through the use of role-playing. They pass back and forth a box of Kleenex, with the goal of keeping the kleenex with the would-be recruit.
It goes something like this:
"Gee, I'm sorry, but I have a whole bunch of meetings at work next week." (hands seminar leader the kleenex).
S.L. "That's okay, we have another introduction the week after," (hands back box of kleenex).
"But I can never find a babysitter."
S.L. "I have a friend who can babysit." (hands back kleenex).
...and on and on ad nauseam.
Once they get you to the intro, you have deliberately gone without money or checkbook. Your "friend" who invited you whips out a $100 bill to cover your down payment. If you still decline, they will resort to tears.
Also, the introduction is designed so that you will have listed things in your life that are NOT working.
Another ploy is for the introduction leader to say, "Okay, fine! If you really want to stay in your crappy job, and are not really comitted to saving your marriage, (which is the LAST thing Landmark will actually do), then, by all means, go on about your life the way you always have."
