Theos-Talk Archives (August 2007 Message tt00096)

Thanks.

With a lot of input from the Real Founders, the Three Objects were
formulated more than 100 years ago without the help from phds and language
experts!!!.

It seems, now comes a surreptitious attempt to reformulate them. I do not
know where it would lead to in the long run. We may see increases in formal
membership and money, but whether it would be in the direction intended by
the Founders. This reminds me of the story of an English Professor not
happy with the Shakespeare's plays, as far as the language,
grammer, punctuation, word usage wanting to rewrite them to meet the current
standards higher educational standards..
