Where does he go?
If there's no actual network, anyone can claim membership and offer himself as a teacher, isn't that so?
And I assume that the teacher and the student need to be geographically close to each other in order to meet for lessons, examinations etc. so how can the A.'.A.'. reach other countries?

There's a reason for that I won't go into. When that happens, don't lose hope.

52. There was also an humming-bird that spake unto the horned cerastes, and prayed him for poison. And the great snake of Khem the Holy One, the royal Ureus serpent, answered him and said:
53. I sailed over the sky of Nu in the car called Millions-of-Years, and I saw not any creature upon Seb that was equal to me. The venom of my fang is the inheritance of my father, and of my father's father; and how shall I give it unto thee? Live thou and thy children as I and my fathers have lived, even unto an hundred millions of generations, and it may be that the mercy of the Mighty Ones may bestow upon thy children a drop of the poison of eld.
54. Then the humming-bird was afflicted in his spirit, and he flew unto the flowers, and it was as if naught had been spoken between them. Yet in a little while a serpent struck him that he died.
55. But an Ibis that meditated upon the bank of Nile the beautiful god listened and heard. And he laid aside his Ibis ways, and became as a serpent, saying Peradventure in an hundred millions of millions of generations of my children, they shall attain to a drop of the poison of the fang of the Exalted One.
56. And behold! ere the moon waxed thrice he became an Ureus serpent, and the poison of the fang was established in him and his seed even for ever and for ever.

Are the classes given out of people's homes, community centers, and the like? Same with TOT initiation?
It always seems that thelemic bodies meet in casual locations, probably due to the proscription against charging money apart from enough to cover basic costs. Is there anywhere in the world where there is actually a true thelemic temple (that one would see and readily identify it as such?).
How awesome would it be if some rich guy funded the construction of an actual temple, complete with stonework, stained glass images of nuit, hadit, and ra-hoor-khuit, super-high ceilings, etc.? Are there any such beautiful thelemic temples?

who convinced a lot of women he was holy.
Around about the time he got real flabby,
he corralled them together in an abbey.
And got chased out by a fascist army.

Are the pictures from the first part of your message really the house of Crowley?
