I have asked members there, and the story I get from them is that 
nobody ever gets thrown out.

Obviously, someone is lying. However, when I ask how speakers and 
topics are chosen, I am told, "Join, and you'll find out."

That's not anonymous; that's evasive. In theory, I consider the various 
Theosophical groups (those that go by some version of the 3 Objects) to 
be complementary rather than in competition.

Now, if the group is like Masons, where secrecy is part of the ritual 
involved, I wish that someone would just say so. Note that just because 
it doesn't cost any money does not mean that one has no reason not to 
join an organization.
