In looking over this thread again - this is DulltheAxe's first post. What a way to join a group.
I am not in disagreement with DulltheAxe's post. He is new on the board and has already an opinion to express... I am also new, have observed similar things on this board. Also I believe that I have been able to duplicated his post so far. For example, when he says "lot of crap out there", he might mean simply "human emotions & reactions". By "missing information", he probably referred to the symptom which arises when people posting on the board who never were staff, public nor tried to approach the subject in an objective manner.
Most of you guys I like very much and some of you are brilliant. However there is a lot of complaining going on.
Honestly, I am completely unreasonable about Out Ruds or even Out Grades.
However blunt or stupid it might sound... if you are upset about the Church, DM, Mngmt or whatever - you need to get your Ruds flown. That's as simple as that. Then you do your grades and so on.
BTW, KR's did never work. LRH implemented these so that "good staff and public" would get charge of their little problems. And to grab somebodies balls if ever indicated (of course ha-ha!)
Anyway, much of personal integrity or original code of honour got lost (or has never been there) within current staff and public.
You always have a choice, there is always the possibility to say NO. You just don't accept crap from your senior, that's it. "But then I risk my position, my eternity, get busted, RPF'd!!!" And? so what!
Many SO staff went through the whole cycle when I was on staff in the beginning of the 80's. Simply refuse to comply with off policy orders! Try it out if you still have the possibility - it works wonders! 4 guys scream at you but you just feel great!!! Just REFUSE to do things which you don't feel good about it, that's it man and that's really it!
Then of course you have to sort out your case and do the whole lot. And if you have done it all - there is no charge left. You just look back and think how fun it was especially the RPF with the crap food.
Bloody hell - do I need a session now !!!
