Well said, Dallas.
Ernest Pelletier's is really a gold mine of
information.
In addition:
Although Olcott lost clear course after 1891 he
was always supported by Judge.
Even when Olcott had resigned PTS after Besant's
intrigues it was Judge who convinced him to resume
office.
Olcott had no legal rights to cancel the American
section.
The exoteric HQ in Adyar was paid by the NY
esoteric HQ under Judge.
When the American Section claimed autonomy from
the exoteric HQ it was Olcott who blamed the over
90% American theosophists which followed Judge as
"secessionists".
A big maya.
In reality it were Besant, Chakravarti,
Leadbeater, Mead, Sinnett and Olcott which
abandoned from the TS.
That they still continued to name their
secessionists body a "TS" does not alter the fact
that the spirit has gone and has never returned to
Adyar. Spiritually they are as dead as a mouse as
we say.

Dear K
If you are going to try to rewrite Theosophical
history then do familiarize
yourself with the documentary based history:
The THEOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT (1875-1950)
If you wish to develop opinions, then in my
opinion, they have to at least
dovetail with the facts already recorded.
It was Olcott, and not Judge that caused the split
in the THEOSOPHICAL
SOCIETY. That is made quite clear there. It was
Olcott who excommunicated
the whole American Section of nearly 3.000
members. The largest section in
the THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY at that time (1895)..
Have you scrutinized the documents reproduced in
THE JUDGE CASE by Mr E. Pelletier
Edmonton THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
December 2004
Best wishes
Dallas

Pardon me, but even if all you wrote were true, it
was W.Q. Judge who
is responsible for the first split of the
theosophical movement. As
far I know, he wasn't expelled but has himself
divided the Society.
Other numerous splits were just the echoes of the
first and main one.
If Besant, Olcott and Leadbeater were wrong, he
could say that they
are wrong, they are fools, they are villains and
black magicians, and
maybe they would even hate him for that and expell
him, but no one
could accuse him in split. In Buddhism the split
of the sangha is
regarded as one of the greatest falls, and it far
overweights all the
sins of the other side, real and imaginary,
whatever they could be.
This principle is quite applicable to the TS, for
the brotherhood is
its first object while other objects are
subsidary.
Remember that Leadbeater didn't held any important
office in the
Theosophical Society. The difference of opinion
and preaching wrong
teaching is not a sin at all. To accuse people in
that is just
ridiculous for those who call themselves
theosophists.
