Originally it was made up of Hubbard's most trusted aids who were with him on the scientology home base, which due to legal problems was on board a private yacht, the Apollo. Since they were avoiding legal authorities they spend most of their time at sea - hence the Sea Org[anization].
Later in an excess of corporate loyalty the members decided that a lifetime contract was just soooooo wog that they created a one billion year contract.
Hubbard was said to be a bit freaked out by this, but quickly realized these were True Believers he could use.
I assume that "wog" is a term for "outsiders". What does it mean?
Also, be warned, "wog" is also a racial slur.

Hubbard picked Clearwater as the home base because of the words "Clear" and the mystical properties he attributed to "water"? Do you know what those "properties" were? And how does that played into the Sea Org thing?
Also, is it true they keep files on "enemies". Isn't it a little creepy that a religious organization outside the middle east would be so paranoid as to have "enemies"? ( OK, it's also creepy that religions in the ME have enemies...)
