My attempts to obtain direct answers to questions about the ULT....
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dr. Gregory Tillett makes two significant statements which are
reproduced BELOW.

=====================================================
My attempts to obtain direct answers to questions about the ULT have
resulted in some of the most bizarre responses, both on this site and
in direct e-mails, of my experience. It's been like trying to obtain
direct answers from politicians! For an organization that claims to
be open and non-authoritarian, the non-responses suggest an
organization more like the secret service.
===================================================

=============================================================
But I have never met with such a strange "we are totally open" while
being less accessible than the CIA approach than I have found with
the ULT. Individual members (including various librarians who, I
presume, could not have been librarians because "librarian"
presupposes an office!) have been kind and generous – but have never
answered a single historical question directly unless it could be
done with an (apparently) almost memorized section of one of the ULT
official tracts. It's like trying to gather up quicksilver!
=============================================================

HOW does one explain the responses of these ULT associates?

WHY would Theosophical students especially ULT students respond in
the fashion as described in the instances cited below?

And are these responses INDICATIVE of the ULT organization and
its "mindset"?

I must say that regarding my encounters over the years with ULT 
associates that for the most part the observations made by Dr. 
Tillett accurately apply to my experiences.

Before Dr. Tillett wrote the above, I had no idea what his 
experiences with ULT associates had been.  So you can imagine that I 
was quite interested in the similarity of his observations with my 
own.
