I never joined the BOTA. I couldn't bring myself to join them after reading their literature. Besides which, I'm not really interested in any magical organizations I've encountered. The Golden Dawn and the OTO aren't serious enough for me, the A.'.A.'. is a crock of shit, the OTA are arrogant elitists, etc.
I myself prefer self-training. While I wish I could have apprenticed under one of my favorite authors (who is now dead), I don't think it's at all necessary, and I certainly prefer one-on-one apprenticeships to orders and classes. If I ever come to a point where I'm able to teach, I will do one-on-one exclusively.
