It would make the most sense to just borrow the degrees from Masonry.

What would it take to be a 32nd degree Mormon?

I'm not responsible for determining what criteria you must meet to advance rank. That's the prophets job.. via direct communication with God.

Well, maybe George Miller knows.

Doesn't Scientology have some kind of degree system too?

Also, what a great money-making system!

While it's possible to achieve a high rank if you are super-duper righteous, a healthy donation sure wouldn't hurt your chances of increasing rank.... /wink wink

LDS Inc could learn a thing or too about raising revenue from Scientology.
