I think back to all the "mason" threads where masons and others would claim no association between OTO and Masonry in an effort to discredit claims made against each.
It's the associated "interests" of members of each, found at, gaiaguys.net... that people have "issues" with.
Rejoice all you 'naughty' brothers, you now have the law on your side to protect your "good name" from those pescky survivers of Ritual Child Sex Abusers.
I actually do have to go and vomit now.......

I have done some research into the OTO and am curious about it. Just where does one join such an organization and how much are dues?

"When these events happened in 1990 these people were children who had no idea what was happening to them as they were being taken away from their families. Now they have all reached adulthood they are coming forward to speak about what they went through and they want the record put straight, which has led to this legal action."...
"It has caused them enormous damage. This legal action is being brought because they want a proper apology from Rochdale council, and because they deserve compensation for the psychological damage, disruption to family life and long-term suffering caused by events which they did not understand and were never explained to them."

"No one told us why we were taken away. We thought me or my brother Daniel had done something wrong - or something had happened to Mum and Dad - and that was why we couldn't go home."
Daniel
"I was taken out of school and put in a car with a woman. I didn't know where we were going.
It was getting late, and we were going from one place to another, and ended up in this hospital. I got taken into a room and asked a load of questions. I didn't understand them, really. I just wanted to get out. And then we were put in another car - I felt tired."
Lisa
"They took me to a room and I could hear Catherine and Cheryl crying, like me. The door was just locked and I remember giving up because I'd wasted all my energy trying to get out. I just looked at the clock, slid down the wall and sat on the floor, crying."
David
"But I could never, never forgive the social workers for this, I don't think any of us could."

When someone can show us all where I've accused all masons, occultists etc. of being baby rapists, or any specific individuals, I will sincerely apologize.
The point you seem to have such a hard time getting your head around, Cug, is that some of the worst abusers have an outward image of being champions of the abused, while working the system to ensure any seeking justice that could also expose them, find nothing but cruel, unnecessary hurdles.
As I've mentioned before, I do know good masons who also know of the bad. To say any group, or any of it's individual members, shouldn't be held up to reasonable questioning, just because of the group's 'good name', seems a little self centered when you concider how much more harm is done with silence.

You rightly point out those who's lives have been ruined by wrongfull family separations but compared to the great numbers who can't get as far as even having their complaints recorded by the police they finally find the courage to speak to, they are not worth advocating the "don't talk about it" rule that has kept so much of it buried for so long and allows it to grow.
As to child centered fund raising by Masons, that "get out of gaol free, no questions asked" example of "proof" they are all nothing but good, stopped working for priests a while ago, thank God.

Yep, this story is great advertizing for the 'dark age'.
It is so much easier for an occult religion to have it's name protected (from it's own writings) than for victims of child sex abuse to even have their abusers charged, that the 'dark side' is gaining recruits.
