Yes.  I was looking for a quote or two where the 3 objects are directly
applied to the Movement as a whole.  I have never been able to find any.

While the TS is part of the theosophical movement, Judge defines the
latter as "moral, ethical, spiritual, universal, invisible save in
effect, and continuous... [the TM] is to be found in all times and all
nations."  Therefore the three objects were the specific duty or purpose
of only the TS, not the other parts of the TM, whether visible or not.

So why does ULT wrongly apply those objects to the TM?  They might be
applied to the ULT itself with some justification, but not the timeless
Theosophical Movement or other physical branches of it.  Even in HPB's day
the Brothers referred to other work of Theirs of which the TS members knew
nothing.
