Two of my draftsmen attended EST, and it destroyed their lives through divorce and subsequent strife.
Didn’t do anything good for their work habits either. One of them began stuttering severly, and had to carry a note pad and pencil to communicate.
“Erhard” was just another self-hating american Jew, like the Democrat party is chock full of.

The "Dr. B" thing at Tufts sounds like the application of something thought up by the Cheka in the old USSR.
I agree about people who change their names. It's almost always a bad sign. There are legitimate reasons, such as if a father or other family member is involved in a crime that brings great infamy through the media, or if one happens to share a name with a notorious criminal (I think I recall hearing about some Ted Bundys changing their name), but usually its a sign of serious internal problems.
Thanks all of you for your observations and insights.
Unfortunately a lot of these types ruined the country. (I'm Jewish; grew up around them. I am so glad I moved to Orthodoxy.)
