If you could post or send copy of study material by e-mail we will 
know exactly what TSA promotes

If will be far better if they disply visibly on TSA website photos of 
Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater if will be far better. New members

Hollywood used to typically have 100 people attending their Sunday 
lectures. A Picture of Krishnamurti hung on the wall, as well as 
pictures of Besant and Leadbeater. Times have changed and the 
American culture has changed quite a lot. TSA management no longer 
actively supports Lodges, and there are very few of them left. 
Besant Lodge now has very few members.
