I wonder if that's why so many obstacles against marriage and courtship. They want people to remain single so they can be single hounders and single assistant hounders. At which point, they are hounded to join the Ministerial, or Value Destroyer, Training School. After which a billion assignments await them (it used to be that they would sit and wait for something, but these days the whole Washtowel Slaveholdery is in shambles). Ultimately, they want to use these people to set off the Second Dark Ages.
Which is why I positively dread getting pulled back in physically (it's worse than getting disfellowshipped). I want no part of the organization that ruined my chances, what little they were, of getting in with the opposite sex. Let alone to help them seize the whole world and start a Second Dark Ages.
