Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00684)

I realize you think Tacoma and TSA are both hiding something.  We 
are talking about a lawsuit that remains in the court, where the 
facts will be addressed thoroughly.

Are you suggesting that the facts should be revealed to you, to your 
satisfacton, on this list?  What would be the point of judicial 
review if everyone just told you all the facts on the list?  Then 
Bart could give us his opinion and the matter would be solved?

Your questions are, for the most part, self-explanatory if you think 
about them a little.

Bart wrote:  "Then why did Olcott continue to be actively President 
of an organization that did not exist?"

Krsanna wrote:  Olcott's work at Adyar continued as a theosophical 
society but not as the parent society.  The parent society with 
authority over other lodges ended, while the local theosophical 
society at Adyar continued without no authority.  Think of it as the 
difference between a McDonald's franchihse and the corporate 
headquarters.  

After you have read the correspondence and even "Old Diary Leaves" 
regarding this period, we can discuss the situation more.  What's 
the point of discussing events on which you have not made the effort 
to do some discovery?    

The "discussion" goes on and on with more questions.  The next 
chapter does not explain the birds and the bees.
