Intelligent Quote of the Day: XCG ministers and Real Jobs
It takes eight long years of study to become a Catholic priest. Almost as long as to become an M.D. And even after all that intense training we still see a few quacks and pedophiles slip thru the process.My question for people like Mark Armstrong is, just what kind of training does he have? Four years at the unaccredited Embarrassing College? Is that it!? And he is now fit to council with people having personal problems or dispense advice from the pulpit?Excuse me, but if a psychologist tried this with no more training than the Armstrongs of the world have, the authorities would close his practice and put him in jail for fraud. It's just too bad that so-called "ministers" aren't held equally accountable. People might as well go to their local palm reader for advice or call Madame Cleo as they would these ACOGs. And it's a lot cheaper too!
---The controversial WCG Alumni message board member "Stingerski'' on XCG minister's poor credentials compared to other professions that demand higher standards and training.
The Armstrongist ministers completely lack the inherited talent of Structural Visualization, which means, they have no idea of how the Universe really works. They would be totally incompetent as mechanics, engineers, physicists, surgeons or almost any technical field. They only know stuff that is really "soft" and have no place in the workplace where there are critical requirements for technological skills and precision. In fact, based on their record, in such positions of responsibilities, depending upon the criticality of mission critical work, it is entirely possible that they would be responsible for deaths through their gross incompetence -- not that they aren't actually literally responsible for a bunch of deaths already, mind you.
I no more accept spiritual advice from an Armstrongist Minister than I would have them work on my auto. Either scenario is too dangerous to contemplate.
