[Rails] stack level too deep

Stack Level too deep means there is some function recursing, probably forever. Looking over your code real quick I've seen the :has_many organizations which probably leads to the recursion. When trying to get the parents, Rails will get the Parents of the Parents and so on since it is a property of the Organization so I guess it is not lazy evaluated. Maybe that helps...
