How do you think this set will take it if, for some unforeseeable reason,
these mall centers aren't successful?

They can blame it on bad vastu showing how absolutely 
necessary it is to have proper Peace Palaces. We have heard for years now 
that as soon as centers are in a building with proper vastu, initiations would 
go through the roof. So here is another excuse for failure in the 
making.

 Everyone he spoke to. I've heard that some others loved it. But maybe they
 are cult zombies.

If it was hell, why did he and others stay till
the end? Either he had changed his mind by
then (apparently not), feared repercussions 
from leaving (in which case he's spineless), 
or made the mistake of not understanding 
sunk cost, i.e., an investment unrecoverable 
via suffering through something dreadful.

Economists argue that, if you are rational, 
you will not take sunk costs into account 
when making decisions. In the case of a 
movie ticket that you regret purchasing, 
there are two possible end results. You 
will either have:

   1.Paid the price of the ticket and 
put up with watching a movie that you do not 
want to see
 or 
2.   Paid the price of the ticket 
and used the time to do something more fun.

Apparently, he chose door #1.

Is he planning to pursue any of the post-course
projects? If so, why? While he condemned the
nature of the course, he didn't really say that
he wasn't planning to carry out the course's 
goals, other than to recount them such that they
sound goofy.

A good friend of mine raves about her time on
the course.

But, then, my opinions and questions don't
matter. Bob has correctly labeled my musings
as witless and thick. I offer them as a sort of
reverse sunk cost fallacy in which, knowing 
the folly of having invested thought into them,
I force others to endure them nonetheless, 
stupidly expecting a recoupment.
