Re: Theos-World Anand's message to Betty Bland about disenfranchisement

Oct 27, 2008 01:10 AM
by Anand


One point that has missed consideration by serious students of
Theosophy is this. TS has just escaped a great danger in the recent
Presidential election. Imagine how ridiculous changes to constitution
would have been made by the quartet if John Algeo had got elected in
this year's election. Theosophical Society is lucky that Radha Burnier
is elected.
If John Algeo was elected, quartet most probably would have succeeded
in hijacking the TS.
