Theos-Talk Archives (October 2004 Message tt00212)

Pablo,

in a biography of BP Wadia by Dallas Tenbroeck:

After several heart to heart conversations in 1920-21 with Mrs. Annie Besant on his return to India and Adyar, B.P. Wadia found that while she admitted to him in private that what had then been done against Mr. Judge and the "Theosophical Society in America," 25 years back, was wrong, she refused to make a public retraction and restore Judge's fair name in Theosophical publications and elsewhere. 

And there are many sources alike, for example Alice Leighton Cleater. It's near from stupid i think to go on and on with this subjects: she herself admited it, and contradict herself one more time, that's it! What's the thing about defending her? She was not an arhat, not an initiate, everything in her lifes proves it; but in the middle of all the miss, she did a great job, a very great job in some fields. But there's no need to defend, when she abused power more then once, and so on, so on.

I don't think the TS must be excesivly atacked, but it must admit their flaws and mistakes, not to defend every action of her past 'leaders', no matter how wrong they were. There's no need for misionary work, i think.

My english is preety bad too, i guess, and i'm sorry.
