Theos-Talk Archives (March 2003 Message tt00275)

Bart,

I didn't call you pseudo-theosophist, I called those
who are in favour of THIS WAR NOW,
pseudo-theosophists.
We have different point of views, actually very
different, and right now I just read the email sent by
Steve containing the Resignation Letter of Jack
Walters, one more resignation between many others.
The situation is very serious! If you are in favour of
violent actions it’s is your personal choice! I am
against it!
