The International President with the approval of the General Council can
cancell the charter. The rules can be found at:

	THEOSOPHY INTERNATIONAL: Working for a New Age:

The Danish Section also had its charter cancelled. Then there was
litigation about the assets and Adyar group lost their claims in two courts
and that is where it stands.

I don't know why any one would do any penance to get back for what. All the
Theosophical Classics were put out long time ago and there is nothing new
that has come out. No reason for anyone to belong to any organization any
more.
