In Reply to: Definition of "LTO"? posted by Thorwald on February 05, 2007 at 04:08:13:
LTO meant Leadership Trainee and above only, as far as who could see the letter.
There were letters that were Leader's Only. These would have been only for the eyes of the home shepherds and above.
There may have been a higher level of secrecy as far as another category for the innermost circle. someone else may be able to tell you about that, or at that level it may have just been private communications that weren't meant to be published. I wonder if anyone has suviving copies of any of those?
I remember being in a home and some people hurrying to get a few people together for a Leader's Only letter.
You could be in the family for decades and if you weren't in a higher circle of trust according to whomever was leading the home, you would be left out of those pubs and the LTO ones too.
Anything DFO or GP were considered "milk" and some of those letters were very bizarre and even were distributed.
TF had circles of trust and knowledge.
The people in the bulls-eye or ground zero position knew the inner workings of the Family and knew of Berg's deviancies in earlier years before they were introduced as doctrine.
Berg wrote some letter, can't remember which one where he talked about levels of involvement.
What seems to change are the acronyms and abbreviations because the Dynamics are similar. There are still levels of trust but now DFO is like MM I would think.
That is one thing about TF, they are continually changing their buzz words and acronyms. Guess it pays to keep the confusion going.
