I fail to understand why I was told the Israeli chapter of the OTO dealt only with those already members,
Please elaborate ... what do you mean?
1) Any person, as long as they are free ( not incarcerated), of age (over legal age of adulthood in their country ) and of good report (two sponser members in good standing) has an UNDEFEASIBLE RIGHT of entry into Man of Earth Degrees. I.e. the Camp and Oasis and first Lodge Degrees.
2) A CHAPTER of R+C OTO deals with the OTO membership, it is part of the 2nd triad above Man of Earth, named The Lovers and does not deal with people seeking to join.
If you did contact a R+C Chapter they should have directed you to a Lodge or Oasis or the national body of Israel.
I cant concieve how a Chapter can exist in Israel without the 'lower bodies'.
If it WAS a Man of Earth body and they are closed to new members and the public they are breaking their 'cause of action'.
Are you sure it is OTO ... a while back I checked out an alledged dodgey OTO ... they didnt take new members ... just wanted money and to sell Motta books.
Tell me more about what happened or what led you to get that message from them. I mean I ASSUMED you were inquiring about membership ... but maybe you were asking about something else they considered private and in that case woulkd only deal with it if you were a member. But the comment that 'Peaches can join' led me to link the two together.
Can Peaches join? Has she joined? ... her Minerval would be interesting to watch ... who is going to do it ?
Poor little Peaches ... joining a SEX CULT !!! - she might be a little disappointed on that level
