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.
