Truth has never been defined and even Theosophy has never been defined so
that each one of us discover for ourselves what it is.

But couple of things are reasonable to consider. Firstly HPB having been
instrumental in launching the TS, I dont think we should ignore her quotes
as to why TS was launched and what the prime object was. Agree that the
names of the Real Founders and those behind them have been commercialized
and degraded. At all times we should keep our own judgement, otherwise how
are we going to grow up.

Peace.
