Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt00296)

Dallas once wrote on this forum:

"As far as I can see, that's why the U L T insists 
on using and providing for study, only the ORIGINALS -- 
I see too many interpretive changes in Theosophical 
texts altered by those who have later claimed that 
they can correct errors made in those 'originals.'
Who dares to say that they can do better than H P B 
and the Masters who certified ( PATH Vol. 8, p. 1-3 ) 
to have co-edited the text of The SECRET DOCTRINE?" 

Quoted from: 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/11759

So did the Theosophy Company in 1928 or W.Q. Judge in the
1890s claim that "they can correct errors made in those
'originals'", that is in the original of HPB's VOICE?

Did the Theosophy Company or Mr. Judge dare to say
"that they can do better than H P B. and the 
Masters"?

I believe Dallas was directing his strong language
towards Besant, Mead and de Zirkoff and their "editing"
of HPB's originals but if it is valid to question
those three people, why not the Theosophy Company and
Judge?
