"...is a man...free to reveal 
anything he may have learned...?"
----------------------------------------------

In H.P. Blavatsky's THE KEY TO THEOSOPHY, Section III, pp. 50-51
(original 1889 edition), one finds the following question and answer:

----------------------------------------------
ENQUIRER. But is a man expelled, or resigning, from the [Esoteric]
section free to reveal anything he may have learned, or to break any
clause of the pledge he has taken?

THEOSOPHIST. Certainly not. His expulsion or resignation only
relieves him from the obligation of obedience to the teacher, and
from that of taking an active part in the work of the Society, but
surely not from the sacred pledge of secrecy.
