Neurolinguistic Programming
The NLP Cult members are the recruitment agents. Once they have been awarded NLP Practitioner status they use their persuasion techniques to manipulate anyone they know or meet to attempt to lure them into the cult. The first step is usually a free seminar often 2 or 3 days over a weekend. Once there the potential victim will be subjected to more manipulation and the hard sell to get them to pay for a NLP Practitioner course (full NLP Cult membership). Fake schools are a very common recruitment tactic amongst cults.

?Anyway, it was hard to get my girlfriend to leave with me, not because she wanted to stay, but because she felt bad about ditching her 'partner' when she'd just made all of these promises to him. I explained that that was one of the very reasons I did want to leave, and I convinced her and we left. I felt like shit afterwards. I felt emotionally drained...and I was only there for two hours. The full thing went from 9AM-11PM on friday sat and sunday. I would've been a fucking Zombie by then.?
