Well, he didn't say anything even approaching Theosophy being nonsense
in his talk. He did call ALL organizations and religions (including
people following him) to be crutches, but failed to acknowledge that
some people NEED crutches; it is only once that they can walk on their
own that crutches are no longer necessary. In the same way,
organizations which claim to have the truth block the way for people,
but organizations which give facilities for people to seek truth for
themselves can only be helpful. 

So, although once again you say that Krishnamurti considered Theosophy
to be nonsense, I defy you to find any place where he even implies it.
