Thanks, Michelle.

One of the best theosophists I know is not a vegetarian; but is so open
minded that will give his support for vegetarians. 

On the other hand, there was a situation in which I wanted to visit with a
well known member, a life long vegetarian, tee totaler, lead a tradionally
straight life and who resided in Adyar for years - center of all supposed
action -- and was high up in all the related organizations would not let me
visit with him. You ought to see his hypocrisy when you see his saintly
dismeanour in public. There is yet another well known member, a vegetarian,
tee totaler, leading a traditionally straight life,  who would not address
me as "brother" because I did not agree with some of his policies. If these
are the type of people I ran into when I came into theosophy and TS, I
would have runaway never to return. On the other hand, I had my share of
wonderful and kind ordinary members who practiced real "theosophy" --
brotherhood and that is what is keeping my interest even today.

Thanks for your response , Doss!

Sorry if some of the things I said have a sensitive nature...  

I just wanted to get across my amazement at the hypocrisy of those who
love to brag that it has been "thirty years since I put a hamburger into
my mouth", when many of those same people can't go thirty MINUTES
without something REALLY nasty coming OUT of it.

Cheers,
Michele L.
