After some interesting remarks here about the Quest magazine I did a look up 
under:
http://www.theosophical.org/theosophy/questmagazine/janfeb05/bland/index.html

Although I did not found a political agenda in the articles as Bart wrote, I 
found there the 3rd object in the followings words:

>3. And to explore the unexplained laws of nature and powers latent in 
humanity. 

Since when the powers are no longer latent in man but in humanity?
Is that a new invention?
I remember that Ramadoss discovered some years ago that TSA was in attempt 
to change wording and content of TSA's 1st object.
After some protests they returned to the old wording.
I wonder whether this new wording is already known to the members and what 
they say about this.

Frank, it appears to me that changes have been made to the wording of the 
Objects. The motive seems to be political correctness. Members are not always 
consulted on these matters, in fact, probably not at all consulted. These 
types of changes occur as the Presidents take charge and add their own imprint. 
In this country there is the tyranny of political correctness.

But surely you know that the wording of the 3 Objects has changed many many 
times over 130 years. I once attended a 2 week seminar at Krotona School of 
Theosophy. The most informative lecture, given by Ms. Joy Mills, was on this 
topic.

The times they are a' changin' my friend.
