Theos-Talk Archives (October 2008 Message tt00624)

Leaders always have a vested interest.  That is why they are never to  be 
followed.

Whenever there is an election, many well known "theosophists"Whenever there 
is 
have held offices in the past, wants their name to be associated with  the
candidates with the sole purpose of influencing gullible newbees  into
supporting their favorite candidate. While it is the birthright of  every
human being to express their opinions freely and fearlessly, it is  also
their duty to speak up when serious issues come up. It is then  an
opportunity comes to use all their head learning into practice and  action.
When you and me take a stand openly and publicly, we are going to  make many
in positions of power angry and unhappy and we may see a backlash  in
unexpected ways, since all are human and human failures are to be  expected.

At the current juncture where disenfranchisement and other  illegal changes
are planned, the only people who have come out openly in  support of them are
the Quartet and some of those whose bread and butter  depends on being in
good books of their employers.

Where are all the  leaders? Why have they not come out and spoken about where
they stand and  why? Being silent only brings down their credibility and next
time they  lecture you and me, we know that we cannot place much credence
what they  say.

It is very interesting to watch from the angle of an ordinary  member who has
no official vested interest.
