Lindon is accused of telling Fields he had to get cleansed in order to keep working at the hotel. Lindon gave Fields a questionnaire with many questions about religion and intimate activities. Fields said in the Lawsuit he was asked to return it to Lindon before undergoing an exorcism.

I love how the Catholic church sells its services.

Would’ve been a difference ballgame if the manager had been named Patel.

At least she didn’t insist upon a mobile exorcism conducted on twin scooters in a Wal Mart parking lot. That would be pretty normal for Florida.

Well, duh. The purpose of divorce
is to have one less demon.

Hazard KY?
Besides the obvious “Dukes” references, isn’t this area also a focal point for “snake handlers”?
Might explain a lot.

This is why I'm self employed - got tired of managers insisting on an exorcism.

Maybe it's a misunderstanding and the boss at the Hampton Inn wanted him to exercise. That Kentucky accent can be tricky for some folk.

“Lindon is accused of telling Fields he had to get cleansed in order to keep working at the hotel.”

All kidding aside, that was a mistake IMO.

Well, it could have been worse. She could have been from one of those “churches” who do “snake handling!”

It sounds suspicious to me.

I think there are too many details missing from this story.

Now, if it were a Wyndham hotel, I’d be comforted to know the manager believed in exorcisms...

“Lindon informed the Plaintiff that she was a member of the Common Bond Christian Fellowship Ministries. The church met at the Worship & Warfare Center at 229 Lovern Street, Hazard, Kentucky 41702.”

Doesn’t sound Catholic to me.

Exorcists in my hotel room, I’m OK with. Snakes, I’m not. ;-)
