Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00554)

Iain,
I never said I am talking on behalf of Adyar TS, because I don't 
represent any organization. All my views are my own. I use my own 
best judgement about what is truth and speak it as I have freedom of 
expression. It is rather strange that you formed relation between my 
views with official policy of TS, Adyar. There is no connection.
