Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2003 20:16:56 GMT 50031226 vii om lorax333 shot his mouth off without remembering well at all!: #>this was the case last I heard as regards the OTO, #>which ToS considered a religious org, and rightfully #>so. this was argued against at times by OTO Officers #>in cyberspace, for example (maybe the EGC hadn't so #>strongly coalesced into its leadership? :> Br. Bill?). heidrick@well.com (Bill Heidrick) so gently and helpfully replied: # A little different from that. Michael A. decided to declare OTO a # "non-religion" or philosophical fraternity of some sort, to get past # the prohibition in the ToS bylaws above a certain ToS degree, # regarding prohibition of dual religious organization membership. That # allowed him to let OTO members also join ToS. I argued with him about # it, stating that OTO was clearly a religious organization. One side # effect of the argument was a sort of debate to the question of Crowley # denying that Thelema and/or OTO was religious. I collected some # quotes and published them in the TLC: # http://www.billheidrick.com/tlc1992/tlc1192.htm#fob # ...there it rested. ack! that was *entirely* different than my memory! I'll have to have my boards cleaned very soon!!!! luckily I archived that *actual* conversation rather than revising it to my poor recall?! thanks, kin! 333lorax
