Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00972)

Hi there, I'm Vince and I am new to the group.  I have recently been 
attending the Theosophical Society of Wheaton, Illinois for the past 
month, and have been  enjoying the various teachings and discussions 
at that facility.

My life has been rich with metaphysical experiences, but the 
Christian Fundamentalist churches that I had previously attended for 
twenty years got very judgmental towards me when I might venture to 
reference them.  I also began finding many inconsistencies with the 
way that many Christians were representing the Bible, and my 
questions about Christianity were often deemed dangerous to people's 
religious faith.

I am looking for a place in the Theosophical Society wherein I may 
potentially freely discuss metaphysical issues as they directly 
pertain to my life, with people who are more open to such 
discussions.  I am very well read with the Bible, although my 
interpretations of it are more metaphysical versus orthodox.

I look forward to constuctive discussion with the people here, and 
would like to learn more about the Theosophical Society and it's 
perspectives, insofar as many of them are brand new to me.

Thank you,

Vince
