Theos-Talk Archives (June 1998 Message tt00481)

Martin,

This is all just rhetoric.  How long have you been in the U.S.?  Just 10
years or so, right?
I think you speak and write English very well, but you may have
misunderstood my post.  Yeah, I used a label.  Is it true that you like
theosophy?

Now, yes, you have Paul's book.  I mean that I hadn't read any of YOUR
books, because I didn't think you had (written) any.  You are a very fine
speaker and I hope we can host a speech of yours in home again sometime.
Yes, I'm defensive of Paul ... of Radha ... of theosophy.  I defend it all.

Let's have some more fun.  What are you taking to today's pot luck?

Now, this is certainly eye-opening.  I guess I just like the people in
these cults, so I'll stay in them for awhile.
