Life as a deployable agent - how not to be empathic

$

Yes, there's information out there on how people are trained to be deployable agents and not be respectful or responsive toward us.

Someone trained as a deployable agent has more stamina than someone not trained as a deployable agent.

A deployable agent is trained to run on a simple program that puts the leader at center of the universe,

A deployable agent suppresses doubt and does not listen respectfully to those disagreeing with the leader or the leader's teachings.

For the trained deployable agent, life is simple, there's increased stamina.

Those not trained remain aware of doubts, and listen to others with respect and give those who disagree the benefit of the doubt.

This takes energy. Confront us with a trained deployable agent and we dont' know this is a deployable agent, its going to be a crazy making encounter.

Some Large Grout Training (LGAT) cults have methods that are the envy of any guru.

Here is an glaring example of how one group (Landmark Education) trains its graduates (aka deployable agents) to ignore us when we say no and refuse to sign up for Landmark 'trainings'.

Anything we say except "yes" is ignored as noise.

Repeat, someone trained as a deployable agent has more stamina than we do because their empathy is suppressed.

(Sumerlin's) boyfriend got further into the organization(Landmark), signing up for the leadership and self-expression program, Sumerlin agreed to attend an introductory course.

"They were just big sales pitches," (Sumerlin) says. "We were whisked away into these back rooms where they try to get you to sign up. If you don't they want to know why. What's so great about your life that you don't want to improve it? Why do you have such a hard time committing to anything?"

"It's like shooting clay pigeons; there was always another question. They just try to wear you down."

At one point, Sumerlin tried to leave - but first she had to get past several hall monitors who kept up the questioning.

"It was before I learned that the only way to handle these people is to just say no," she adds. "Anything else gives them an opening to ask another question. They're trained on how to do it."

In fact, she says, a former volunteer told her how they were taught to desensitize themselves to objections from potential recruits by singing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and substituting all the possible objections people might have for the verses: "I'm not signing up because…of money. Ee-I-Ee-I-O.
I'm not signing up because…I don't want to. Ee-I-Ei-I-O."
