Family of 35 years wrecked by impact cult activities. Unreal the damages this institution causes although they say the opposite. My sister and her husband of 35 years are breaking up over this cult.
She has always been the family first person of all time, now she has no time for her husband, 5 children, and 13 grandchildren. she spends her ever waking moment at impact. she works their for pennies at best. on her days off she is working. when she is home, she is alway on the phone with some type of impact emergency.
she is divorcing, has little contact if any with her children, and grandchildren. call and talk to her and she well tell you she is doing awesome.
lets see, you've lost your husband of 35 years, denounced your religion, quit associating with your family and friends, but you claim your are doing awesome.
hope i can live to skip the awesomeness of impact cults.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
You really never know what people are complaining about. this is one of the only comments where I could actually trace it back to who said it. most of them are anonymous and you don't have any idea of the truth of what they are saying. but in this case, i'll fill you in because I know the person they are talking about.
First off, she is not divorced. she is currently raising her brother's two children and if they were to split up (and they have talked about it), he would have to take them back and he doesn't want that. it is not impact that has gotten in the way of his family; it his drugs, alcohol, prostitution and prison that gotten in the way of his family. there are the facts, but notice how easy it is to blame others. and notice how convincing his complaint sounded. divorce in a complex thing. over half the couples in the us end in divorce and it’s can't be solved or blamed on a 4 day training. if people would start looking inside for the answers, instead of blaming everyone around them, maybe we could actually start to lower the divorce rate and heal families.
Had a family member go through impact. I am really bothered by the secretcy. I mean, this person has been gone for days until late hours of the night, and can't tell me a thing about what is going on. I feel like the impact family is replacing our own family. can someone please tell me what is going on?!?!?!?!?!?! is this a cult? should I be worried about moral issues? I just want to know what? run me through a day at quest. what is soooooo important that I can't know about?
Maybe this program can do some good for those who go through it, but to the family and friends who do not go through... I feel sorry for them. they are the ones who are hurt most and made to feel not good enough. is it worth it? it seems very selfish to me.
I've also been through impact trainings... and felt uncomfortable a lot. the comment before mine by "jealousy and lies from wannabe's" is the brainwashed result of the program... congratulating a woman for 'breaking her word' to her family. isn't impact all about 'keeping your word'? hypocrisy is the 'word of the day' at impact.
Especially hans, the [censored] who cares more about his business than people. it's no wonder the first presidency denounced these things back in 2001.
If you've been to impact, does this look familiar? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnnse5xyp6e. yeah, no particular religion involved... a cult is about psychological tactics.
A blog that summarizes my feeling on the whole subject is found here: http://impacttrainingscritic.com/ each post is well thought out and worth a read.
I have been through impact recently and graduated through lift off. it is definitely not an cult. if you really want to go to a cult - go to church. your sister is probably in her heaven on earth - enjoying herself instead of being the one always servicing both her husband and all her brood with no time for her. she is accountable for living this way and now she is taking action within herself to be happy. this complaint is ridiculous - no one forces anyone to stay in impact unless they want to - everyone has a choice to leave and those who stay benefit greatly - they get themselves back. impact training is something that everyone should go through so that more love can enter this world instead of the blame, distrust, hatred and fear that is so polluting our communities and families. I say bravo to this courageous woman to finally embrace her happiness so she can live instead of most likely feeling invisible to the rest of the world.

I too have been through it and it is, most definitely, a cult. And I really felt sorry for the people like you who are willing to denounce all they hold dear to follow these people. There is zero question this is a cult. And no, I'm not religious. So I have no church you can call a cult back. And about not forcing people, bs. I was forced multiple times, with actual physical force, from walking out those doors. I finally had to tell one of them that I wasn't responsible for the broken nose he was about to receive if he didn't get out of my way. That was the first and last time I have ever talked to anyone like that. I didn't graduate, but I was there plenty long to know it's a horrible hoax for profit putting other people's lives and well being in jeopardy. Aka- cult.
And don't argue back, I don't bother listening to you guys.
