Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00753)

Cass,

I don't disagree but I couldn't understand what exactly your point is, 
below.

My reason for defending what I consider to be the truth about HPB's work is 
that her  work is useful to, and BADLY NEEDED BY,  humanity right now.

There is no other practical reason for that --  of which I can remember 
right now.

And I am open to examine new evidences, as I am also examining the false 
ideas and sometimes the utter lies about HPB's work.

Best regards,   Carlos.
