Theos-Talk Archives (March 2009 Message tt00378)

I have some knowledge of important principles of different religions, I studied different spiritual traditions. I associated with leaders and members of these spiritual traditions. I read many books on spiritual traditions and religions. I have Master's degree in management plus engineering qualification and I have many different skill where my talent was proven. After doing this I can say that Bible is among the best books. And I prefer to be in the company of Christians rather than any other group. So this fact shows that Christianity has inherent great qualities. Christianity has not spread just by some cheap trick. I think it is great and because of it's merit it has become what we see now. 
You can notice that Blavatskians don't have brotherhood among themselves, let alone with people of other philosophical ideas. I felt that students of Blavatsky are actually degenerated inside.

They decided to place a Bible at the reception desk in each hotel they frequented so patrons could borrow it. The Bible also served as a silent witness in these hotels after the Gideons had checked out. Today, the Gideons place more than 45,000,000 bibles annually in prisons, hospitals, military bases and, of course, hotel rooms.
