I have been following *very closely* what is going on relative to
TSA's Bylaws. As far as I know I *do not* see any power struggle.

Most of the discussion you have seen are coming out of the
implementation of policies originating from excellent motivation in the
protecting the long term interests of TSA. Just the fact that there is much
discussion here itself is very healthy gives strength to TSA and when
ultimately the policies are properly implemented they will only strengthen
TSA. No other organization would have tolerated the kind of discussions we
have had here.

No matter what is discussed here TS it is *not* going to wither
away because at the lodge/branch/study center level the activities are
going to go on. The strength and vitality and usefulness of each
lodge/branch/study center and any organization depends on the dedication and
sacrifices of a *few individuals*. We do have such individuals at each
lodge/branch/study center. It is each individual member who spread Theosophy
and help the other individuals members or not with whom they come into
contact.

Just thought I should share my views with everyone.
