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.
