Respectfully, the British Empire&#039;s &quot;WOG&quot; was a slur that crossed racial divides - you can find it in historical documents referring to Indians, Arabs and Asians all - the key component being brown-skinned and living in a country that the Brits were keen to conquer.   In TE Lawrence&#039;s memoir, the Brits used &quot;WOG&quot; as nearly the equivalent of the &quot;N&quot; word to refer to the Arabs among whom they lived.

Any attempt LRH made to disguish it as a &quot;light hearted&quot; term of &quot;affection&quot; was absolutely disingenuous.  It was a racial slur, and he knew full well it was a racial slur.]]></description>

Yes, according to Miscavige, $14,500 is the average weekly take home pay of the average white collar worker in the U.S., and there are 40 million members of the Sea Org alone.  He also will have anyone who misquotes him arrested and sent to jail because he is an expert on U.S. law. (By the way, all OTVIIIs will soon have no teeth because their brains are expanding and the teeth are in the way).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Scientologists who are quick to call others &quot;wogs&quot; tell me a lot about themselves. The correct usage is only for those who are known for certain to not be trying.

To call a non-Scn a wog without even knowing them is destroying a chance to make a new Scn. The correct action is to raise ARC, exchange some comm, sell them a book at a fair price, just plain be nice and honestly accepting them as they are.

It seems a sort of intolerance. &quot;I have done the Comm Course therefore I am better than THEM.&quot;

I don&#039;t think that is quite what was meant here. Wog is used too loosely by many. 

General contempt for outsiders does not bring expansion.

I really don&#039;t care how the word wog is usually used. Established bad usage is still bad.]]></description>

The slur was certainly not necessary.  One of the scn. slang definitions of wog is &quot;someone who isn&#039;t even trying&quot;, ie. someone who puts out no effort in life.  I think your excellent post is the antithesis of this and I appreciate your efforts very much.  Thank you.   Would you mind defining shellback for me?]]></description>

Yeah I almost hurled when I heard it.

So dismissive and evaluative of any one reaching for Scientology. Treating them like mindless idiots who have no personal goals or aspirations.

But this is how they now treat the public in general these days whether you&#039;re a veteran or a newby.

With typical elitist arrogance of the average SO member these days.

You know some guy who has never trained on the subject but has done a Product 0 and thinks he or she knows what&#039;s best for everyone.

Your typical social engineer by any other name.

If you can&#039;t &quot;reason&quot; with the masses, use force except where force is prohibited like say a democratic state where the only alternative is by lies, suggestions and implants.

Once they got &#039;em hooked and part of the group it turns into a Fascist State.

JPB, I&#039;ve pondered the same questions myself and have concluded Miscavige must be fully aware that the cults PR is toast and is intentionally bleeding the existing flock dry for all it&#039;s worth. In short, the only thing that makes any sense is that he does not care about Scientology or the goals of the founder and is operating on his own agenda. The rest is a facade. It&#039;s an all out money grab and from his perspective he&#039;s got nothing to lose because he&#039;s hijacked the whole deal and eventually plans to parachute out of the plane before it hits the ground.]]></description>
