Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01193)

Dear Friends, 
 
By 20 April 2006,  Gregory Tillett posted a the text in  Theos-talk questioning the editorial Ethics (or lack of Ethics)  exercised  by  John Algeo and the TPH-USA.  

He says: 
 
 
?The claim that John?s research was not included in the Algeo volume is ? let me  use plain language ? a blatant, scandalous and bare-faced lie. I have beside me  as I write (i) the Algeo volume, (ii) John?s PhD thesis on the Blavatsky letters  and (iii) a copy of the manuscript sent by John to the TPH before his death. If  I compare them I find sentence after sentence reproduced but for a word or two.
Does anyone seriously believe that, between the time of John?s death and the  publication of the Algeo volume, the complete text was re-researched and  created anew? Including letters that John had discovered? Without any reliance on John?s work, Algeo or his puppets, acting independently, just happened to find the same material??
 
Please note the word  ?puppets?.   
 
For Tillett,  John Algeo also treated John Cooper?s widow  in ?an outrageous and despicable manner?.  
 
On the other hand,  some  twenty per cent of  the letters in this  USA-TPH volume are fake and libellous against the founder of the movement.  
 
Joy Mills and  Daniel Caldwell were among the members of John Algeo?s ?Editorial Committee?.  As  to Joy,  she  probably just put her name in it as a way of showing a broad support;  but Daniel Caldweel seem to have been very active in it.  
 
Nicholas Week, another member of the Committee, had warned Algeo about the issue with no success. Such a warning most likely  made on behalf  of his wife Dara Eklund,  also a member of the Committee.  Dara corresponded with me on this issue and I admire and respect her honesty and good will.  
 
 
Best regards, Carlos.
