Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt01186)

Vince,
   Thanks for your comments and reply. I do find agreement that the current 
day (USA) basis of Religion is as Incorporated Tax Exempt Religious 
Corporations. They are required to register with both Federal and Sate Agencies and keep 
registration current and also the Fee's that pertain to such Incorporation's. 
There is literally no Little Church on the Prairie anymore although the image 
and concept still remains in a lot of hearts of a great many people that 
doesn't make it true or factual. For the same reason the dispute over the Tacoma 
Lodge comes under the same aegis as Tax exempt Corporations are there also. The 
various denominations are also all Religious Corporations on scale of 
magnitudes of local, state and national corporation.

   I don't remember how many off the top of my head of the Bibles that are 
printed but I seem to remember that there were or are something like 87 
different versions that have been issued at one time or another to cover the 
affinitized preferences of all the various Religious factions and also the scholastic 
community's.
  
   One thing that impressed me bout Madame Blavatsky many years ago when I 
first began an interest in Theosophy was the depth and breath of her 
presentations in her works in the arena of "Comparative Studies of Religion and 
Philosophy" something that I found to be very helpful if one wanted to get in step with 
her viewpoints. I gave special attention to all the "Q's" she cited in her 
writing and tried to obtain copies of as many as I could of each cited work she 
listed. 

John
