Unfortunately alcohol generally takes awhile, but yes, perhaps something like the onset of dementia. He may get slack with his security… he’s not short of people who detest him.

Well, regarding tiramisu, that is true: having one, will NOT decrease my desire for another one (at the very least, the next day). I shall not grieve about diverging opinions on tiramisu either, that just means more tiramisu is left for me. (Right?) – Now, if we only could get Davey addicted to something else than money and sadism… Something self-destructive and dangerous perhaps… Ehh, wait, he’s already an alcoholic! :>

Also to add to Fred’s explanation below…ARC stands for “Affinity”, “Reality” and “Communication”.

Here is the definition from whatisscientology.org which has a pretty good Scientology terms glossary.

affinity-reality-communication (ARC) triangle: a triangle which is a symbol of the fact that affinity, reality and communication act together to bring about understanding. No point of the triangle can be raised without also raising the other two points, and no point of it can be lowered without also lowering the other two points.

And their definition of ARC Break…

ARC break: a sudden drop or cutting of affinity, reality or communication with someone or something. Upsets with people or things (ARC breaks) come about because of a lessening or sundering of affinity, reality or communication or understanding. Scientologists usually use the term ARC break instead of upset, because if one discovers which of the three points of understanding have been cut, one can bring about a rapid recovery in the person’s state of mind.

All made up WOO. It is used quite successfully to control people. All cults have their own Sooper Sekret made up languages. Hopefully this one is dying on the vine with only the hardcore koolaid drinkers left. Especially now that Scientology is no longer about moving up the Bridge but status status status…ie give money, give money, give money for absolutely nothing.

It’s common for subcultures to develop their own lingo. Cults, however rely on it to distinguish between outsiders and their fellow cultists for, you know, many reasons.

Tim,
Yes, Scientologists really do say “ARC Broken.” One variation: “I have an ARC break.” I think I’ve used “ARCX” as well.

Per the Scientology Technical Dictionary and the definition of “ARC,” Hubbard wrote, “One does not… fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break.” And, yes, there’s a separate definition for “ARC Break.” The abbreviation really is ARCX.

I’ve never noticed it before, but there is a plethora of ARC Break-related phrases in that dictionary: ARC Break Assessment; ARC Break Long Duration; ARC Break Needle; ARC Break Straightwire; ARC Broken PCs.

We were all expected to understand this stuff whenever it came up in our courses or auditing. These were definitions and phrases that we were supposed to “clear” and, if needed, drill.

After 37 years of that oppression, I’m so happy to be on the outside looking in.

Maybe it will prompt her to walk straight out.

That’s the only strategy MustSavage knows: Nip around their ankles until they give up. Bringing frivolous suits is CHEAP, compared to what Dwarfenführer is extorting from his followers!

Yup! Alice gotta go back to Flag and re-do that CRaP yet again. Nothing in Ron’s world is stable. Alice might just get her very own Introspection RunDOWN out of it, poor girl.
