I am sure you must have a mental block on this issue.  You have made clear what Besant/Leadbeater wanted, but in Krishnamurti's own mouth we hear that he never took on the robe of World Teacher operating through Maitreya.  
 
The essence from J. Krishnamurti' s "dissolving" is this:
"As I said, YOU (BESANT) have been preparing for eighteen years for me. I do not care if you (BESANT) believe that I am the World-Teacher or not. That is of very little importance. Since you (BESANT) belong to the organization of the Order of the Star, you have given your sympathy, your energy, acknowledging that Krishnamurti is the World-Teacher --(NOT ME, YOU, BESANT) partially or wholly: wholly for those who are really seeking, only partially for those who are satisfied with their own half-truths (BESANT'S HALF TRUTHS)

You (BESANT) have been preparing for eighteen years, and look how many difficulties there are in the way of your (BESANT'S)understanding, how many complications, how many trivial things. Your(BESANTS) prejudices, your fears, your authorities, your churches new and old -- all these, I maintain, are a barrier to understanding. I cannot make myself clearer than this. I do not want you to agree with me, I do not want you to follow me, I want you to understand what I am saying."  (I AM NOT MAITREYA/WORLD TEACHER).
 
Can't you see this is BESANT'S dream for Krishnamurti and not his own.???

To all readers

My views are:

Allright Cass.
Here we go...

1.
There you are, - J. Krishnamurti said:

"I know that which I am; I know my purpose in life because I am Life itself without name, without limitation. And because I am Life I would urge you to worship that Life, not in this form that is Krishnamurti but the Life which dwells in each one of you. Put aside all the paraphernalia of beliefs, religions and ceremonies, and you will find the Truth."

J. Krishnamurti as a World Teacher allowed false teachings:

The fact that J. Krishnamurti as a World Teacher allowed the following tells me, that he was not caring about the Theosophical Society as it was given by H. P. Blavatsky. 

"What happened to the Theosophical Society, through the years, under the guidance of Mrs. Besant, became abundantly clear during a "Star" Congress held at Ommen, Holland, in 1925.

That this event should have taken place in the year that was the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Theosophical Movement, and on August 11, the anniversary of H.P.B.'s birth, only throws into greater relief the almost immeasurable departure from the original spirit of the Movement, to which Mrs. Besant had led her faithful followers. The purpose of the Congress was to further the "Krishnamurti" cult, for this young Hindu had been burdened by Mrs. Besant with the task of "saving the world." In her opening address, which teems with supernaturalism and breathless references to personages like "the Nameless One" and "Lords of the Fire," she told her listeners:
And now I have to give you, by command of the King, His message, and some of the messages of the Lord Maitreya
and His great Brothers. . . what I am saying, as to matter of announcement, is definitely at the command of the King whom I serve.
His taking possession of His chosen vehicle . . . will be soon. Then He will choose, as before, His twelve apostles . . . and their chief, the Lord Himself. He has already chosen them, but I have only the command to mention seven who have reached the stage of Arhatship,
Who were the "Arhats"?
The first two [Mrs. Besant continued), my brother Charles Leadbeater and myself, . . . C. Jinarajadasa, . . . George Arundale,
Oscar Kollerstrom, . . . Rukmini Arundale,
I left out one and must leave out another. Naturally, our Krishnaji was one, but he is to be the vehicle of the Lord. And the other is one who is very dear to all of us, as to the whole Brotherhood: Bishop James Wedgwood. He had borne his crucifixion before the seal of Arhatship was set upon him by his King.
Those are the first seven of the twelve whom He has chosen, with Himself as the thirteenth. "Ye call me Master and Lord, and ye do well, for so I am." .
Now the wonder may come into your mind: H.P.B. was the only one who was really announced as the messenger of the Master. Since then the world has grown a good deal, and it is possible that while the few may be repelled, many thousands will be attracted to the Christ. . . . Whatever the effect, since He has said it, it is done. . . "

M. Sufilight comments:
Now J. Krishnamurti allowed these words to be accepted to at least 4 years if not 18 years before he did something to at least counter them. I guess J. Krishnamurti was not a World Teacher yet. And not even capeable of protesting to such a scheme. Later J. Krishnamurti was against G. Arundales leadership of the TS, and stayed very much away from the TS almost until Radha Burnier came into the drivers seat. A World Teacher staying away from the TS, which was given by the Masters. And World Teacher who almost never talked about the Master Morya and Koot Hoomi. And when he did it was just to bash their value and to promote himself!

3.
The total denial and rejection

Theosophist Magazine September 1932-December 1932
I presume the T.S. accepts it as its duty to promulgate Theosophy and not to spread or air of other philosophies; if the former why does it undertake propaganda for the teachings of Krishnamurti? If the latter, why call itself the Theosophical Society? This is sailing under false colours and is dishonest to humanity. The facts are, that one cannot go to any T.S. Lodge meeting without hearing about, seeing the books of Krishnamurti. What service is that to mankind- what service is rendered to Theosophy? It can only do one thing and that is to help fog and cloud the student and help to make his efforts to learn Theosophy a hundred times more difficult. Kirshnamurti himself is absolutely honest....

In the Star Bulletin August 1931, Page 7 - J. Krishnamurti says:
" So I have made it prefectly clear that what is generally believed by the Christian, the Theosophist, the Hindu, the Buddhist to be Truth, has nothing in common with what I say"
http://books. google.com/ books?id= Tq8aS-ZDu_ IC&pg=RA2- PA379&lpg= RA2-PA379& dq=%22Star+ Bulletin% 22+1931+Krishnam urti&source= web&ots=StjngNWK 0k&sig=yBGu2frkW 1eUSqpsDYFDftGSK e4#PRA2-PA379, M1

NOTHING?
As Theosophy shows the Truth to be the underlying Principles of the Christian, the Hindu, the Buddhist, we are prefectly clear in having nothing in common with J. Krishnamurti. Then why in the name of the Higher Self does the T.S. persist in propaganda on behalf of Krishnamurti?

4.
Comments about the socalled Messiah J. Krishnamurti:

We all remember, that to be a member of the Theosophical Society in the early J. Krishnamurti days one also had to be a member of The Order of the Star in the East. So When dissolving The Order of the Star in the East, the TS was also dissolved and did he dissolve his status as Maitreya - World Teacher?

The essence from J. Krishnamurti' s "dissolving" is this:
"As I said, you have been preparing for eighteen years for me. I do not care if you believe that I am the World-Teacher or not. That is of very little importance. Since you belong to the organization of the Order of the Star, you have given your sympathy, your energy, acknowledging that Krishnamurti is the World-Teacher -- partially or wholly: wholly for those who are really seeking, only partially for those who are satisfied with their own half-truths. 

You have been preparing for eighteen years, and look how many difficulties there are in the way of your understanding, how many complications, how many trivial things. Your prejudices, your fears, your authorities, your churches new and old -- all these, I maintain, are a barrier to understanding. I cannot make myself clearer than this. I do not want you to agree with me, I do not want you to follow me, I want you to understand what I am saying." 
....
"So why have an organization? " 
....
" I do not want you to agree with me, I do not want you to follow me, I want you to understand what I am saying." 

(From "Truth is a Pathless Land by J. Krishnamurti" - http://www.tphta. ws/TPH_TIPL. HTM)

- - - - - - -

All this, is more than enough to me.

Mary Lutyens told about J. Krishnamurti' s views:
"He was quoted in Mary Lutyens book as saying to the general secretary of the Theosophical Society for
Wales, the following statement: "He told us that he had never been able to read a Theosophical book in His life -
could not understand our Theosophical jargon and, although he had heard many Theosophical lectures, none of
them had convinced him of their knowledge or truth.""

Agreed.
So when you are not a Meitreya and tell people your are a Maitreya, what kind of teaching is that?

Teachers come in all shapes and sizes. One doesn't have to be a Maitreya to teach, e.g. Gandhi.

Sorry. The last sentence went bad..."I" is now changed to "He".

My views are:

J. Krishnamurti was no more a World Teacher and Maitreya than a great number of other contemporaries. 

Other similar lecturers was around in the 1920'ies and later. Just try Paul Brunton, Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Pierre Arnold Bernard (aka "Omnipotent Oom" or "Oom the Magnificent" ), Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda Saraswati, Swami Abhedananda (Kaliprasad Chandra), Idries Shah, Alexandra David-Néel, and several others (in other countries than those who arrogantly call themselves more civilized than others).

Saying that J. Krishnamurti are standing tall above them all is rubbish.
He never showed any real sign of being an Avatar and a Maitreya.

I am not a Mason. You linked the Co-Masons with Krishnamurti. I pointed out that if Krishnamurti was against all gurus, why would a/c to you, he or his followers advocate a co-mason/theosophic connection. Gobbledegook is speaking without thinking about it first. Whether you accept it or not, Krishnamurti was a world teacher, perhaps not the kind you were seeking out, but nevertheless he brought a new way of thinking about the Ego/Id to the world, only previously known by followers of Theosophy or Gurdgieff. 

Krishnamurti followed his own path, he had a right to choose whether or not he would take on Besant/Leadbeater dreams of heralding in a Maitreya.

And beside what is actually "gobblydegook" . Is he an Avatar as well?

You are talking gobblydegook Morten, Krishnamurti said, be your own guru, not get a mason 33 degree.

Yes. It is obvious that the Co-Masons want a J. Krishnamurti cult and not the wisdom of the true theosophical society and aim of Master KH and other Masters.

In the closing of 1900 letter, Master KH says:

"The T.S. was meant to be the corner_stone of the future religions of
humanity. To accomplish this object those who lead must leave aside their
weak predilections for the forms and ceremonies of any particular creed and
show themselves to be true Theosophists both in inner thoughts and outward
observance. The greatest of your trials is yet to come. We watch over you
but you must put forth all your strength."
===xxx===

MKR: Is the reference to "forms and ceremonies" include that of Co-Masonry?
I wonder. The Master's emphasis on being a true Theosophists both in inner
thoughts and outward observance, is also significant. The outside world see
what we do and hence it has an impact on how they perceive theosophy.

I wish some of the theosophical leaders are participants here and respond to
questions like this so that the we are all clear in our minds.
