Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00369)

Dear Perry
Great idea, what I don't like about BN-Study is the imposed censorship on subjects the moderator feels should be left alone. Of course there are always going to be radicals, but sometimes the most skeptic turns out to be the truest follower. 

When I first joined BN Study, the topic was Karma, at the end of the lecture were a dozen or so questions. I, being the idiot, of course, sent my answers to BN-Study and was told very kindly that it wasnt necessary to do so. As I have a fairly reasonable understanding of Karma it didnt bother me at the time, but it occured to me that anyone else, especially a newcomer, needs to know that his answers are correct or incorrect.

Hi all,
It's always difficult finding experienced facilitators to run 
theosophical groups.

However with the internet if someone wants to start a theosophical 
study group in their area but has limited knowledge an online lodge / 
discussion group could be utilized, where more 'experienced' students 
could help give support to these otherwise isolated and independent 
groups to offer encouragement and help with their studies.

The other issue is having facilities to run reading groups from 
perhaps networking online could help people find cheap facilities in 
their area.
(Schools, community centers ect.)

I think the internet offers opportunities and access to experienced 
students we otherwise would have little chance of communicating with.
Perhaps a yahoo group specifically for beginners in theosophical 
studies supported by more experienced students could be set up.

I know Blavatsky net has an online course this could be utilized in a 
study group as well perhaps.

Just some thoughts................

Perry
