Yep, I did go to the other section. Boy, I'm so confused with all these
theosophical branches, neo-theosophical branches and mixed breeds. I was
looking at application information for the TSA, and found dues for the
Society, dues for National, and then dues for local Lodges. The dues were
reasonable. However, it makes me wonder whether I would be joining in the
right section, area, side of the coin. Why are there two international
theosophical societies? Any difference? Anyway, the objects look the
same. Whatever the reality may be, the stated objects correlate with my
philosophy.

Thoa :o)
