Anand to Gregory: Re: Leadbeater revised

Dear Anand,

In response to Gregory's comments, you write that

"I am not interested in that subject...."

But it was YOU who first wrote about the subject as
follows:

"Boys asked him [Leadbeater] what to do about 
continuous sexual thoughts in their minds. 
Leadbeater replied masturbation would relieve 
from those thoughts for some time. Any doctor 
will tell you he is right. From that statement 
many stories were created by others about CWL."

If not interested, why did you write anything
about it at all? 

Once you wrote about it, Gregory is pointing
out that in his opinion you were not
properly stating the facts.

Aren't you interested in finding out the
truth of the matter? I would hope you would
be since you felt the need to write about it
in the first place.

Daniel
