Theos-Talk Archives (January 1998 Message tl00073)

I am responding here on theos-l since this issue of what members are
expected to do is likely to generate discussion.

Recently I found out that TSA is not sending out a clear msg about the real
mission of TS (as envisaged by the Real Founders) especially to the new
members. I will be posting a separate msg on this.

In the meanwhile, when the King is not wearing any clothes someone has to
say so for the good of everyone.

I found out which way the wind was blowing when Radha visited
Olcott a couple of years ago.  Here main point of a Sunday 9 am
speech, was "Members are supposed to work and contribute to the
Society, NOT criticize it."  Those words sound like something of
a papal edict rather than the enlightened head of the International
Theosophical Society.  Nor would do I think it is very appealing to
any prospective newcomers.
