As long as you are educating us on "the important facts", may I correct a few, perhaps, less important ones in your message in order to put your "facts" into perspective:

1. The ULT did not split off of the Adyar Society. It would be more accurate to say that it was a break off of the Theosophical Society led by Ernest Hargrove. It is true that Robert Crosbie, one of the primary founders of ULT was at an earlier time a member of the Point Loma Theosophical Society, but he left that organization joined the Hargrove Society and formed a group under then left the Hargrove society and formed the ULT around 1909.
2. I'm not sure what you mean by "local organization" but ULT has branches in Europe, India, North and South America.
3. Memberships in all of the Theosophical Organizations went through cycles of increase and decline at the same time (which in my opinion, is an indication as to how closely they are linked together karmically).
4. I have been involved in the four presently existing Theosophical Organizations (Pasadena, ULT, Adyar) and know people and have friends in all of them. My experience has been that they all have their share of bright intuitive and dull unintuitive members.
5. Nevertheless, I think it is misleading to compare the Adyar TS to ULT, because the two organizations are of very different natures. The Adyar TS is a membership organization who support the Theosophical Society, while the ULT is an association of independent students working to promote the Theosophical Movement.

After splitting of the Society, Judge Society, ULT depended heavily on Blavatsky's writing for more than 100 years. In many parts of the world Blavatsky's writing was not appreciated, it could not convince intuition and intellect of people. In many parts it was actually hated. Result is Judge Society became local organization. Adyar TS because of Masters' blessings got many occultists who wrote well and it was appreciated by people around the world. So Adyar TS became International organization.
I don't have much interest in organizational politics. But these are important facts.
