Pomona,#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

Dear anonymous, I could not help but respond to a part of your post. You wrote "I even tried to explain to the Leader that it wasn't worth the money, still thinking that he was a decent person." I would like to respond with this quote from Steven Hassan, author the book combatting cult mind control: "By accepting the way I was deceived, I set myself up to begin deceiving others" In other words, the leader you were dealing with is probably a great person. But through an indoctrination process that is very slow and subtle, but very powerful when accepted, the leader now firmly believes that dsmax is the best thing ever. To get to own an office, he must build a crew. To get a crew, he must take people out in the field that were lied to in order for him to sell them on a dream and become committed like he is. He firmly believes that the ends justify the means. Pray for this person! The business has a high turnover and more than likely your friend will end up quitting. But if he is that convinced, most likely it will be after months and weeks, maybe even years of failure. And in the mean time he will most likely drive himself into debt and ruin his credit - just to live! I am very glad that you personaly had the wherewithal to leave and I wish you luck with your future.
