What do you guys think about world works inc.? Their website is http://www.worldworksinc.com. I notice they are basically a spinoff of LifeSpring, check this info that I found below or at http://www.rickross.com/groups/lifespring.html.
This is my oponion on this:
I would not do this!!!
*** No Christian Should ever do this!!!! ***
They claim to transform the world, yet they are only in one city... And the founder makes about 350k plus a year in the name of transformation!!! their website is http://www.worldworksinc.com .
Some will claim this is a new age cult... They are very aggressive... They curse, they humiliate, they use sleep depravation and they use group manipulation to recruit for them.... They are a slight spin-off of LifeSpring....
Check out this links on their Courses...
This is what happens at the intro!!!! They know what they are doing!!!

Their third level training is very easy to explain... Its call leadership practice... Which means you are a leader by
1- enrolling people into their expensive trainings
2- accomplishing 4 goals
3- Raising money for charity....
What do you guys think?

I think it's marvelous that people are starting to take an interest in this topic. Cults are only really dangerous if you don't see them for what they are.

Cool site-Wish I saw B4 spending $ on Worldworks Inc.
One of my closest friends was relentless about my getting enrolled. My gut feeling was that by her being able to recruit me-somehow gave her "points" in her favor.
I had a bad feeling about enrolling but did so against my better judgement.
The 1st class was tolerable. However, by the 2nd course-I found it not-and was able to confirm my suspicions...
In my opinion...(So as to not sound ARROGANT (a popular word used at the workshop)...and not make my words be like of "higher authority")..lol
...The class came off very much Cult & Scientology like...Funny that these words kept repeating themselves in my head like something telling me to be cautious of what I was getting into.
I went home and did research and found the group did indeed have Scientology roots and was a spin off of "Lifespring" and "Landmark Forum"-who are considered to be a cult on another website(s).
LESSON I LEARNED-Never allow a person to determine for you who you are,what is right for you and manipulate you-let alone be abusive toward you.
One more thing. I am no longer in touch w/ persons whom I briefly befriended at the courses & as for that one close friend who enrolled me?...She has NOT EVEN returned my call after I abandoned the 2nd course on the 2nd or 3rd day...
(It's already going on 6 months since we've last spoken -and we WERE very close)
Going back to the time I had abandoned the course...I was supposed to show up wearing a bikini-wasn't ashamed of this at all-Just felt enough was enough not to mention trying to heal from Bronchitis at the time- Boy did they have something to say about that one: To them I was only having a reaction to the course and not really sick(psychosematic) The bronchitis was already present b4 the class was even thought of.
I noticed that people with health problems were shot down from leaving the course and openly scrutinized for this in front of the entire classroom audience.
In fact...When I was starting to feel weak from not eating properly and on a timely manner-(we were all rushed in this and not given enough time-a poular cult method to wear and break you down to brainwash you I've found)...
I attempted to leave but one person-no exageration- grabbed me by my arm and asked sternly where I was going and after telling him that I needed to leave...he said "LIKE HELL YOU ARE" and made me sit back down.
The trainer/staff commented about "my racket" but I soon realized that everything they accused me of being-They indeed were- Especially with this thing of "being a racket and arrogant and manipulative".
I'm curious to know...What happened that one day I decided not show up at all...Does the person hold up or screw up the class or something?
All I know is that my home phone & cell phone were feverishly ringing off the hook and my voicemail become full before noon with their messages such as "WHERE ARE YOU, you're TAKING from the group-you NEED to show up, because I NEED to show up"! AND..."It is IMPERATIVE that you come-doesn't matter if you're late -we'll all PAY your cab fare"!
Wow-that's 80-85 bucks! I feel bad because I just blew them off-figured this is what they all get for being rude to me-after being humiliated by the trainer -I noticed others didn't seem to be nice to me anymore -like they didn't respect me anymore because the trainer didn't and she made a spectacle of me in front of the entire class.
Does anyone know what happens if an individual does not show up?-because they were sure raising a lot of hell about it. I did not think it a big deal but when I had staff members calling me-even the vice president and the recruiters-I became curios to know...
Sincerely,
Amy Braddock of Whittier, CA
