travel fast and stay for a long time. Anyone googling TS will find all of it
and wonder what kind of Brotherhood is being practiced by the leaders. A few
leaders' activities leading to a lot of bad publicity for a lot of really
good and hardworking and dedicated members world-wide. Recently a friend of
mine, said once something is in writing somewhere, it is going to come out;
it is not a questions of whether, but a question of when.
