The initial intros are often done at a friends place, where other Landmark 'Friends' attend to push the potential recruits into the more official intro (a la seminar style).
to be, or not to be, what was the question?

My friend is really smart and already has a great life so I don't know why she's getting involved in this stuff. I don't want to lose friends to a cult so I'll be very frank with her about this.

Bizarrely, not having heard of this before, I just got an email from a friend inviting everybody to a garden party and "Landmark intro" at her place at the weekend. I've no idea why she wants to get involved with this but I'm going to find out whether she knows what she's getting into.
Shame, because I would have enjoyed a garden party.
Go tot the party, just wear a tinfoil helmet
it will keep out the brainwashing, and is also a good look
and! and! you could fry an egg up there if it's a nice sunny day
Talkin' sh1te, 24/7

I don't know what you mean by being frank. But if she has done it and you want to talk her out of marketing it you are wasting your time, this is how you will lose her, talking to her about it. Don't talk to her about it unless you have studied it well and how it works and know what she will say. Then what can you say? She perceives that she has gained so much an is superior to you, going to tell her she is part of a cult? That won't help. Even if you show her everything she will just get upset and ask you not to talk to her about it.
The fact that she is now programmed to pester you, "give you support" and look down upon you until you do the forum. After all that she is doing is ( Enrollment ) "having (or creating) a conversation in which you move, touch, inspire someone by 'causing a new possibility to be present". In her mind she is not plugging you into the pyramid of sales droids.
Do get familiar with all the jargon she will be spouting, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmark_Education#Terms.2FDistinctions
Burn the French Landmark Expose onto CD and ask her to play it to everyone. At least you may save a few other people who are there from joining.
Whilst I think some normal great people are sucked or preassured into Landmark, I think that Landmark Education is for the absolute losers in society who don't have the balls to deal with their crap or see a psychologist and face the music and want a quick easy fix, losers who are willing to be brain washed to support a pyramid scheme so that Landmark makes money and ultimately losers who risk going psychotic in the process.
Given the choice I would rather be some f**ked up homeless alcoholic who is just affraid of looking for help than being part of Landmark.
It is a pity this whole training course is comes with brain washing to make you part of the sales droid force, there is some good stuff in there that does work.
