Theos-Talk Archives (April 1998 Message tt00271)

K said: "You cannot organize truth." Well, as Rudy said, this is pretty obvious.
However, when K uses this statement as an argument against the usefulness and
meaningfulness of the TS it really doesn't make much sense. The idea of the TS
never was to organize truth, it was and is to organize truth seekers and truth
seeking. And that is a very natural and meaningful thing to do. So, when K uses
the statement "You cannot organize truth" to point out the shortcomings of the
TS, it seems to me to be unfair and/or stupid.
