Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00174)

Perry, 
You ask some great questions, thanks for your comments. Well my personal 
"opinion" is a Theosophical Society Lodge or Center should not be a "Psychic 
Fair" which is a very popular thing here in the USA, many are scheduled, usually 
week-ends at leased facilities and get good traffic of both curious and 
serious individuals. They can walk the booths and investigate all the "New Age" 
idiosyncracies and practices collecting bags full of flyers and business cards 
and such. All this is "Off the Purpose Lines of the intent of a Theosophical 
Lodge Center even though the topics may be subjects of Guest Lectures and Members 
may have proclivities of interest individually amongst themselves.It seems to 
me that the "Charter" is the determinator that defines the Purpose.

John
