Theos-Talk Archives (March 2009 Message tt00519)

Thanks for posting it here.

Once a theosophist, always a theosophist.  You are very welcome to
participate here. I am glad that your room and board does not depend on any
theosophical organization. Only I hope and pray that Dan is safe.

As you know, we have participants here who belong to the various
organizations and those who belong to none. The unmoderated nature coupled
with the independence of any organization makes this list the most useful in
serving the theosophical community world-wide and it made a very valuable
contribution last year when a group of GC members tried to defeat Radha
Burnier by alleging that she is sick, both mentally and physically, which
was later contradicted by three independent physicians from two continents
and we would not have known about the truth from moderated forums controlled
by any of the sections.

You need to see False and False to see Truth..
