I have 

   (setq load-path (delete "/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org" load-path))
   (setq load-path (delete "c:/Program Files (x86)/emacs-24.3/lisp/org" 
load-path))

in my notes, for when I was trying to get the most recent maint repository 
version of org working. There is a better version of these lines somewhere 
at stack exchange... here it is: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20616703/2533127

You could potentially have this in a ~/debugorg.el, and use 

    emacs -q -l "~/debugorg.el"

For more exploring, try =cd /usr/share/emacs/=, and =ls=. Also, try =C-h v 
load-path RET C-x o C-s org=. In other words, have Emacs describe the =load-
path= variable, switch to that window and do a search for the term "org". 

(It is somewhere discouraged to remove the built-in org, but hopefully 
someone will give you steps and tips anyway. (Would it simply suffice to 
temporarily move the emacs/24.3/lisp/org directory described above?))
