well, speaking as One Of Those Who Took The Damned Thing [known colloquailly
as "Veterans"] I can say with impunity that they're still trying.

only now it's called the Forum, it costs $700.00, and the EST foundation has
become a Werner Erhard Adoration Society. They're like the mormons, ESThetes..
once they get your phone number they won't let up.

i'll admit that the training [you don't call it EST for the reasons you think
you  don't call it EST] actually did something for me: it made me sure that
this kind of thing will either hook you or cure you. scientology has it worse,
of course, since their leader is dead and yet keeps writing books [word has it
he died in '85 or early '86...] and had at one time publised a list of peoplr
who were "fair game", ie: shoot 'em.

now for the obvious question, "Why [apart from some inobvious mental deficiency] did you take EST?" It was paid for by someone else.
