:In my experience, popular people tend to be admitted, but only assholes remain active.  Not intending to slur anyone, just noting from my experience  I've long been closely involved with BSA and the OA, and most OA leaders are simply assholes, or at best, ignorant and blind.  Some mention should also be made of the OA's bastardization of Native American religion to make it seem palatable to children and more like some silly game from the back of a comic book than any truly spiritual experience.
