Connecting With Ex-Members?
Hello, I apologize for using what is essentially a blank account. Despite the name and question, I hope that my post will be allowed to remain up by the moderation team.
I am trying to connect with people who have left the Thelema movement. My inbox will be publicly available for anyone to message about their experiences. Specifically, I am curious why people might leave the movement.
As you know, some people may remain religious after leaving organized structures, so this question is not specifically directed at people who are disgruntled towards Thelema and the philosophy behind it, but I don't mind hearing from people who have left.
Whether it's lack of interests, finding a new organization or beliefs, I am curious to hear about people's journey through and out of Thelemic groups/organizations.
More specifically, I am hoping to hear from people who have left OTO (Ordo Templi Orientis), as this is the group that I have most experience with.
Personally, I am not a follower of Thelemic beliefs and my knowledge of it is quite elementary. I am not making this post as any kind of accusation or prejudice, just a call for more information and education. Please feel free to also express your opinions in the comments, as well, but let's remain respectful.
Thank you!
