	However, like many was, the actual battles are about a much larger
issue. The largest theosophical organization, The Theosophical Society,
represented in the United States by the TSA, has been accused of being a
repressive organization, hypocritcally trying to stamp out the truth
while claiming a dedication for the Truth. Some painted as the major
villains are friends of some of us here. We are being told that we
belong to an organization which is far different and far more sinister
than the one in which we see ourselves. 

	In other words, those who are happy to be members of the TSA are
effectively being called repressive or happy slaves. Being neither, we
try to correct the situation.
