Theos-Talk Archives (September 2006 Message tt00360)

Adelasie,

Thanks.

As to the abuse of sacred names, of course,  we may take, or not to take, HPB's words into consideration.

(In spite of the fact that her words were written aiming at our own good.)

We also may, or may not, let HPB be freely slandered, and the Masters, too, by the circulation of the Coulombs lies.  It's our free choice. 

Each one makes his decision.  At theos-talk, we can only share our views. 
I like that. It's good. 

Best regards,  Carlos.
