Theos-Talk Archives (March 2008 Message tt00247)

Hi, Katherine:
Welcome to the group. You will find here theosophists who belong to one or
more of the organizations and many  who do  not belong to any. Consequently,
you wil find a very wide range of opinions (some very strongly held) on this
maillist. This list is independent and is not censored or controlled by any
organization. So we all speak our minds and hearts without fear or favor
from any one or any organization. So you will find here information you will
not be able to get from any other organization sources. Some times new
subscribers here, have read some of the postings are very hesitant to post
msgs fearful that there may be strong responses. You are welcome here to
post any question or opinion and request for any info and you will find
quick responses from participants who are from many countries in the world.
