Fucking Wogs.
You're starting to sound like a wog.
I fully understand how in Scientology the word 'WOG" is used, and how on here its worn as a badge of honor almost to be called a WOG. But! it really is the same as calling someone a NIGGER. A word that is socially unacceptable now days. Hubbard mostly likely picked this up while being in England, as in the UK a black person would be called a WOG as a racist hatred term. I dare any scientologist to go to England and call a black person a WOG and see the result you get. I actually find it offensive that Scientology uses this term. I'm originally from the UK, and married to a mixed race spouse. I despise racism more than I do scientology.
As I stated before, I fully understand the context it is used in this forum. But the true nature of this word is no different to the N-word. Growing up I heard this insult used far more than the N-word, but its hateful, spiteful meaning was the same. Racial hatred.
British English: WOG
1. *racist* a black African or dark-skinned South Asian (usually Indian or Pakistani)
This is very interesting. When I was on Student Hat round 1972 some fellow students had considered WOG to mean "Without Goals"
But, I can almost hear the Student Hat tape or some tape, where Ron described a term WOG as "Worthy Oriental Gentleman".
Something about in the early days when the British Empire was exploring the Indian and Asian coast line, a boat landed on the shores of China. Of course China was named after its most prolific export, Chi or, Tea thus the name China. Land of Tea. But, the Vice Admiral of the British Navy was sent there to drum up trade and introduce modern British Science, Math and Society to the Chinese.
The Chinese court would listen politely but smile and thank the British officers for being so considerate, but then would continue on with the customs and trade regulations they had used for thousands of years.
Thus the term "Worthy Oriental Gentleman" describes new people to Scientology as you can tell them all about Scientology, but they smile wish you luck shake your hand and walk out quite happy to be in their own aberated world.
In 1947 while in the Navy Ron DID attend Princeton to take a 2 month course on Government organization because he was intended to go to Japan as part of the occupation forces teaching government. WOG may have been a term in his course work.
This Navy government course is where Ron got the basis for the Org Board and the OEC volumes. Ron thought the boys at Princeton were pretty sharp. He enjoyed the class.
Now TODAY after hearing how Ron was such a story teller and liar. I would suspect he was pulling the wool over our eyes as students on the Student Hat, by offering a believable story mixed with some truth, regarding the " Worthy Oriental Gentlemen". Yet getting Scientologist to unknowingly utter racist slang. If so, very clever but the laugh is on us.
