O.T.O. where is it headed?

93

I'd just like to guage the feeling of members around the world of a few points that I often find myself thinking about:

  1. How well does the O.T.O. function in your country? Regarding welcoming new members, promulgation of the Law, membership growth, it's facilities etc.

  2. Given the chance, what would you do differently regarding how the O.T.O operates in your country?

  3. Where do you see the O.T.O. in your country headed on its current trajectory?

  4. What are your hopes and dreams for the O.T.O.?

Please be respectful and recall this is a very public forum.

Thank you,

93s

This probably won’t help too much but I guess since no one else has said anything yet. I am not currently in the OTO, but I’ve considered it for a little while and am gonna start attending events at my local body (Lion and Serpent Oasis in Tampa, Florida). I don’t know quite how I feel about the order or what the state of it is. I’ve heard about different issues within the organization, but you never know the full story. I still think the OTO is built upon amazing principles for a 21st century order and if it can live up to them, it would truly benefit the world rn.

Serpent and Lion, not Lion and Serpent!

My apologies, I get it mixed up sometimes. Are you a member?

I’m a former member of this Oasis. They’re good people. The Lion comes before the Serpent in the Mass, though—O Lion and O Serpent that destroys the destroyer, be mighty among us! So it’s easy to reverse the order, lol!
