Dear Anand
Your usual negative response. Perhaps the Greeks are satisfied with the religion they already have. I know one thing for sure, if they even got a wiff of child molestation they would burn every book of CWL in Greece, and the person with it distributing the filth. Unlike the Catholics, Protestants, Scout Leaders, I have never heard of one of their priests being charged with child molestation.

Erica,
Membership in Greece is ridiculously low as compared to other
countries, if I got correct figure. If you are new there then other
leaders might be Blavatskians. Church may be strong but Greece is not
a fundamentalist country. So there must be reasons for failure.
People don't become members of TS by reading SD. Most come to
Theosophy after reading books by Leadbeater. Afterwords few unlucky
among them become diehard Blavatskians. Most others read CWL, AB etc.
and some don't read anything.

Because of the strength of the church, orthodoxy here condemns not
only the Theosophical Society but Masonry, and any other movement.

Blavatsky was not a vegetarian, and many people are not vegetarian
also,so is this a reason to judge them? Buddha's last meal was pork
he was less enlightened for that? I don't think so.
