[...] I once got in trouble for referring to the leadership training group in my CLB as “The Stepford Boys.” It was after we left, of course, and it was suggested to me that I might be being somewhat disrespectful.

Very interesting point. Just like in the days of old, when men would whittle a “god” out of a piece of wood or carve it out of stone, then say “this is my god! and credit that god with all the blessings in their lives.
