Glad your out Free2dream! I have a couple questions:
(1) What is the PV&I Course?
(2) You mention your roomie was expecting a financial windfall from his supposedly dying boyfriend with visions of dollar signs and FLB in his eyes. Is FLB "Flag Land Base?"
(3) It's apparent that your roomie is gay with a boyfriend and is in Scientology? Isn't that out-ethics in the church's eyes? Especially at FLB. ???
(1) The PV&I Course is the Personal Values & Integrity Course. It was a very basic course on the different types of "PTS-ness", "right actions" vs. "wrong actions", and defined SP's. It was followed by doing O/W write-ups until EP.
(2) Yes. FLB is Flag Land Base. All he could talk about was getting this $100,000, going Clear, and moving to Clearwater. He swore up and down his homosexuality was an engram and Scientology would help him get rid of it. I thought the whole idea, including this supposed windfall, sounded ridiculous. He had a job when this ex-lover came back into the picture, but went on a "leave of absence" when he found out this person was dying and planning on leaving all of his money to him. When it looked like there was going to be trouble getting the money (the IRS froze his ex-lover's accounts), he packed up 50lbs of Scientology books, convinced his then boyfriend (also a Scientologist) to get him a plane ticket, and flew to Ohio to try and handle it. It didn't work and he came back empty handed. He didn't bother to go back to the job he had, and didn't bother to find another one until we were almost evicted from our house.
(3) Yes. His homosexuality made him out-ethics, as well as being 1.1 on the Tone Scale. You couldn't tell him that, though. He was convinced that Scientology would handle it. He even talked about looking forward to the day when he could have a "normal" relationship and father children. Gods forbid.
