Sociopathy. Some people think that the nice little old lady couldn't possibly be systematically bankrupting parents and discarding "students" on the streets like trash. Wrong. Some humans, whether by nature or nurture, lack consciences, and given a chance, the'll rip you off or even kill if they think they can get they're way by doing so. They're often very clever, very charismatic, and understand social systems. These are the designers of the cult.
Discuss: On topic (not general), concerning the charachter of (some) program directors (some are true believers). True believers vs sociopathy comparisons or discussion allowed. True believers discussion not allowed. (start another thread copying and pasting a quoted post into a new thread in the appropriate forum with and appropriate name). Discussion on the structure or definition of a TTI style non professional therapy cult should go in another thread.
Admin/mod note: you can use a bold tag and "Discuss: to flag a moderator as to the rules you want enforced on your thread. Any changes to the default will be adhered to. You can also exclude certain posters from the discussion by using this tag. This isn't a ban or censorship so much is it is an expression of freedom of association. They won't be warned after an offense as long as it's not an intentional offense. On the other hand, they are allowed to quote your posts and start their own threads, with their own rules. Further note: Commenting on the rules of the thread is always considered on-topic. If you feel a person has rigged a discussion or has written his rules in such a way as to thwart your argument, feel free to point it out. However for this thread I kindly request you start another thread to discuss these rule. Thanks.
