Starting
Your Own Cult, with Dr. Emeril Lazarus
One of the heavy responsibilities
that being the unquestioned Leader of the True Believers is adminstering
a Group Benefit Plan to your Flock--or cult as the eternally doomed nay-sayers
may call it.
Some may poo-poo the
idea of a group benefit plan. Surely God will take care of His own, they
will say. And of course, strictly speaking, they are right. The Heavenly
Father--who speaks to You directly--does take care of His True Believers.
Those who have the
True Faith will be cared for, but try telling that to one of your flock
who has an abscessed tooth or has just broken their arm. In times like
these it's useful to recall that God looks at the Big Picture: Souls,
Lakes of Fire, Eternal Damnation and the like. Retirement Savings Plans
were probably not in His Revelations to you.
Of course, if they
were, you need read no further--you'll have all the information you need.
For the rest of us
who have to care for the mundane reality of this Vale of Tears, I've divided
the Group Benefit Plan concept into three parts: Health Care (including
Dental), Insurance, and Retirement Savings. We'll leave Health Care and
Retirement Savings for now and concentrate on insurance.
Insurance is actually
the easiest to deal with. Your members will have liquidated whatever insurance
policies they may have had when they Saw the Light and joined Your Vision.
They have liquidated all of their assets, haven't they? (As an aside,
if you are allowing your Flock to keep private property you're not doing
a proper job of creating a True Community of Equals Before the Lord, are
you?)
You don't need insurance
where you're going, and neither does your Flock. Your Family will care
for the physical needs of children left behind if in the event of tragic
accidents or 'mishaps'--as long as they share the same values of Truth,
Justice and Obedience to The Revealed Way of which You are the Sole Beacon.
Incidentally, encourage
your People to make your organization the beneficiary in their wills.
After the tragic accidental fire-bombing of the Sun Soldiers of Christ's
bunker in Texas, the organization was able to recoup more than their losses
through the unliquidated properties of new members unintentionally hurried
on their way to Heaven. Even though your more mature members may no longer
have any net worth, they themselves may be beneficiaries of rich aunts.
Make sure that all that filthy lucre has a path to reach Your Goodness.
Group Benefit
Plans are complex and difficult, but when broken down into discreet chunks
they are easier to implement. Next time we'll look at Medical and Retirement
Savings.
