My own thought here, Dave, is how can you take something
that someone else says and judge others on that basis?
I believe that Judge was in contact with the Masters,
and so I would question the "guilty" accusation that you
refer to above (i.e., guilty by whose standards?).
"Lead astray" by whom? The whole premise of what
you are saying is very open to question, and the "guilt"
of either Besant or Judge is a personal matter--not
everyone agrees with the good Professor (I for one).
