Well, to tell you the truth, I've gotten bored with my own story. How about I just give you some highlights?
My last comm ev:
The last time I was comm eved was hmmm a few years ago. Because of my position I had to go to the CLO for it. I was ordered to come up on a holiday weekend with less than 2 weeks notice. You can imagine what the airfare and hotel fees were. So I booked and paid for the travel expenses. I scheduled myself to arrive on a Saturday night and have the comm ev "after hours" and then fly out at 6 am on Sunday so I could be back on post for Sunday Service. I'm not kidding.
I've always enjoyed flying but I wasn't really able to relax on this flight. I was stressing over the money I spent and the charges of the committee and something else was nagging me too. I knew what the charges were. The comm eve was based on an overt I had gotten off in session. I was guilty and had already done lowers and my stats were up. I remembered that after the session when I had told the auditor what I had done, the auditor said to me "aren't you glad that you told a minister of the church?" I was thinking at the time "not so much".
Anyway....I arrive at the CLO at about 9 or 10 pm. I'm thinking perfect timing. At reception I'm greeted by a Sea Org member who was one of my PCs from decades ago. Another who I had known when she was just a kid. Well you get the picture. they were all very happy to see me and some of my anxiety melted away. I asked the receptionist to notify my CO that I had arrived.
She came downstairs and asked when my return flight was scheduled. (this is never a good sign) I told her I was returning at 6 am so I would be back on post at 10 am. She told me I had to change my flight because all of the committee members had left for the night. I told her "no". I had come when THEY scheduled me. I had done exactly as I was told. We either have it tonight or you can have it without me. I didn't budge on this. (I was sure I was gonna be declared or typed anyway) She ran around and came back and said that they got another group together who agreed to do it, but they hadn't gone over the data and needed a few moments to look it all over.
after about 45 minutes I was called in. They had me look over the charges. I asked to see one of the KRs. I read it and disagreed with it. I didn't bother to read any of the others. I plead guilty to all charges. Went to my extremely posh hotel. Slept for 3 hours. Went home and delivered Sunday Service.
I didn't get the F&Rs for months. Then hurricanes started hitting EUS one after another. More months went by. I had queried a couple of times and had been told the first time it had been sent uplines it was disapproved and had to be rewritten and resent and blah blah blah. Finally I was told the "good news" by my CO that the whole cycle was canceled because it was staledated. Oh lucky me!
How's that for Scientology justice?
