***The cat doesn't show it self - but its footprints does ! The crew behindTheos-talk - is pulling the chain - I just make remarks - and get a debatestarted. - I don't decide anything on what to do with anyone. So I couldn't really tell.***

***Theosophy has nothing at all to do with fanatism - as you seem think in the above. We seek wisdom - and others reject that idea - and that is that. 
Please - leave my children out of this -- please. 
Where do you get the idea that - anyone should - worship anyone - in that manner, which you (more than one time) seem to have talked about it. Wisdom - doesn't imply 'worship' in the sense, which you put forward here - in fact I would say no worship at all. I would call it wise communication instead.
Theosophists studies wisdom etc. - others only study materialism ! - Beforeyou answer this email - please read the article by Blavatsky - "Is Theosophy a Religion?" - written 1888. - I think that will make something clear toyou - and maybe others.***

***Well, that is your view. And I read it. But what are the words - they could be important to mention - if so come with them - but I would suggest, that you only do it if they have a moral bearing.***
