Try to rethink that one again using your heart of compassion. It is here we disagree.
Please, Do good, see good and be good. Do not say do not mind and do not matter.

  Whether it was the truth or not solves nothing as Gertrude Stein said "there is no answer" "there never was an answer, there never will be an answer, that is the answer".  Do we think that we have the power to save the TS from what many consider the clutches of RB and her elected - it is chasing windmills - it is detracting from deep study of HPB's teachings and it leads others way -  
   
  The subject of the 4th root race was recently brought up - rather than explore it together - it ended up into a bunfight over who believes they have the correct interpretation - are we so advanced that one's opinion cannot be challenged - only after revelation does the fool realise he was mistaken.
   
  I personally cannot see how saving the TS will benefit anyone - if those who follow HPB were in power there would be the same arguments from those promoting Besant,Leadbeater,Krishnamurti - there is no choice but to break away as others have in the past or quietly sit and wait without response until karma takes its course.  As my mother said, give them enough rope and they will hang themselves (although this is not very charitable!)
   
  If I had the wherewithall I would start a group that dealt only with concepts in the Secret Doctrine to try to arrive at a meaningful explanation of the greatest question of all time - WHY?

  What is the problem?
  Was I stating the Truth?

  Dear friends and all

  My views are.

  HPB said in her Key to Theosophy, that the leaders and members aught to set an example for the members and the world.

  1.
  Blavatsky wrote in The Key to Theosophy, p. 248:
  "HOW MEMBERS CAN HELP THE SOCIETY.

  ENQUIRER. How do you expect the Fellows of your Society to help in the work?

  THEOSOPHIST. First by studying and comprehending the theosophical doctrines, so that they may teach others, especially the young people. Secondly, by taking every opportunity of talking to others and explaining to them what Theosophy is, and what it is not; by removing misconceptions and spreading an interest in the subject. Thirdly, by assisting in circulating our literature, by buying books when they have the means, by lending and giving them and by inducing their friends to do so. Fourthly, by defending the Society from the unjust aspersions cast upon it, by every legitimate device in their power. Fifth, and most important of all, by the example of their own lives. "
  http://www.phx- ult-lodge. org/aKEY. htm

  I for one would never teach the young people to do like CWL, and his J. Krishnamurti Messiah in the flesh, who was letting CWL discover himself. The same on Annie Besant.

  Blavatsky wrote in The Key to Theosophy, p. 282:
  "ENQUIRER. Political articles?

  THEOSOPHIST. Never. Everything she has written throughout the seven years of her stay in India is all there in print. It deals only with the religions, ethnology, and customs of India, and with Theosophy â never with politics, of which she knows nothing and cares less. Again, two years ago she refused several contracts amounting together to about 1,200 roubles in gold per month; for she could not accept them without abandoning her work for the Society, which needed all her time and strength. She has documents to prove it.

  ENQUIRER. But why could not both she and Colonel Olcott do as othersâ notably many Theosophists â do: follow out their respective professions and devote the surplus of their time to the work of the Society?

  THEOSOPHIST. Because by serving two masters, either the professional or the philanthropic work would have had to suffer. Every true Theosophist is morally bound to sacrifice the personal to the impersonal, his own present good to the future benefit of other people. If the Founders do not set the example, who will?"
  http://www.phx- ult-lodge. org/aKEY. htm

  I love that book.
  It is very strong. I strongly suggest, that all members learn it by heart before seeking other books by later theosophists or those who later dared to call themselves theosophists!

  Any volunteers to run for the office?

  It is simple, All you need is to launch on a lecture tour of India and keep
  on visiting all the lodges and when the election time comes, voters know who
  you are and you will get elected. Of course you can hire speech writers and
  the members would be impressed. You can of course get a lot of good help
  from past leaders as well for writing speeches.

  After you get elected, how you deal with the GC is your challenge.
