Wake-Up Call

Tuesday, April 12, 2005. I have decided to check out Richard’s Anti-Theosophy meeting. He has been very active in time past in preaching against public schools and homosexuality. He knows his Bible pretty well. So, now, is he starting to take on false religion too?

He is talking about government and the effects of Theosophy on our children and our society at large. He passes out a sheet with lots of graphics on it showing in simplified form how Theosophy has progressed since the 1800's into the nightmare it is today. There are about a dozen men and one woman in the room. I am not following any of this. It’s like a dream.

I ask (for the group’s sake as well as mine), “What are the main philosophical differences between Theosophy and Christianity?” He seems stumped. He says, “I haven’t really done an analysis, but I don’t see how a comparison between them would help define our goal here.” This irritates me, because I know that this is a good question that will bring the perversity of Theosophy into the light. I say, “It isn’t as though I had asked you to compare Theosophy and Communism. There may be 50 other basic philosophies besides Christianity, but I don’t think any of them were used in forming this government.” I figure if I stick to the word ‘philosophy’ and the subject of government, he has no excuse to go around the obvious use of the gospel here. He fails to get the message.

I’m thinking, I’m going to give him one last try and if he flunks the third time, I’m leaving and having no more to do with his causes. I’m trying to think of something else to say. There is silence. Suddenly, the woman goes into a litany about God and love and the necessity for loving, not hating anyone or anything...I woke up from the dream and it was 4:00 a.m. Later in the day, I saw the front page of Monday’s paper and there is a picture of Richard dressed up as a bright red devil in front of the high school with a large sign that says, “Tolerate Perversity Workshop” with an arrow pointing to the building in which the school is having a workshop to prevent hate against gays. Nothing about Theosophy. Whew!
