Theos-Talk Archives (August 2007 Message tt00139)

mkr,
   Well, it may be a surprise but as I was reading the history of the Theosophical Society in Russia I saw it contained content very, very similar to the new Group you posted about in the Chicago area but they founded a Group in 1908 in Russia, what a curious synchronicity.
Regards,
John

I was just joking in the context of the theosophical society in the usa
trying to reword the three objects and resorting to online advertisement in
gmail.

some people seem to think that rewording using the talents of english
language and literature expertise might
attract new members. i have never seen theosophical societies
resorting to advertisement to recruit followers; may be a new
innovation in the capitalist country that other nations may want to
emulate!!!
