oh ok. Just to clarify I wasn't fauling you on using wikipedia or accusing you of using it as your only source. It's just that wikipedia articles on obscure religions are often short and sometimes sound like a missionary tract, either for or against the group.

Wikipedia is pretty good for something like Scientology... just sayin'...

And I don't like New Age. XD I tried New Age philosophy once... at age 11. XD

I have quite an extensive library of real books on kooky groups. I just find a forum to be an awkward format for such a wide ranging inquiry. As I said however I'll find myself a free hour and answer this thread extensively for fun. The list lead me to some groups i'd never heard of and need to add to my list of **** to know about.

I know something about the Theosophy of Helena Blavatsky.

For one thing, Theosophy is just as much science & philosophy as religious. So I do not see it as part of any New Religious Movement.

Here is good introduction: http://www.philaletheians.co.uk/Major works/Theosophia Inner Wisdom.pdf
