    Not sure how this problem is going to be resolved but I’d wager even odds it will involve another donation.

    “…get in really good ARC with this sofa…”

    A much needed laugh at the end of a long week.

    Love your cult comm satire, RB.

    It would be easy to overdo it but you don’t.

    Instead you salt and pepper it here and there. You keep the cult lingo flowing quite naturally out of your characters’ mouths, never contrived, always in context and therefore always fresh and funny and something of a surprise.

    OMG! LOL! I thought it was just our org that had these Mr. Fixits.

    There were a bunch of them through the years that were on staff and got hired to do sub-par level jobs for the field rather than hire professionals. It worked out great with the org staff schedule and going off for training.

    I hate that my reaction to reading “made her work her way up and out of Danger for bypassing Larry” is to think that they’re (the couple and the org) doing Ethics condition formulas all wrong.

    Their side of a danger formula (senior) would be flipping easy. Get a mechanic, have car fixed, let Larry know, plan ahead for routine maintenance checks, and create a rule that they will only use a licensed mechanic for their car repairs.

    It would be on Larry to handle his junior side – why he was bypassed and getting his ethics in (not lying that he knows what he’s doing).

    ALL of which is me trying to justify that if only the CoS would apply the formulas as written, things would go well. GAH!

    Unfortunately the CoS, the Ethics Officer, all of the fantastically twisted illogic would somehow reject that and mangle it into the couple doing O/W write-ups until they cognited that they have to support Larry’s desire to join staff by agreeing to let him work on their car. And even though it’s not part of those formulas at all, they’d get suckered into donating more than they can afford to make amends for creating entheta and an ethics mess.

    Sure is nice to not have someone deciding who I hire to work on my stuff. Would not put up with the “rat out reports” these people do.

    They could go to the nearest brick pile and pound……..

    I would have thought that Larry was incompetent.

When buildings get important to us, for God sakes, some of you born revolutionists will you please blow up central headquarters". L Ron Hubbard Lecture 31 Dec 1960
"Personal integrity is knowing what you know. What you know is what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you have observed".- LRH from Personal Integrity

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - Martin Luther King
