Dear Bruce,
You apparently defended J. Krishnamurti's teaching. Can you tell in what way it is useful. 
I observed many people who praise J. Krishnamurti's teaching and I found that these people were hypocrites. For example these followers of J. Krishnamurti would have Gurus, they read many books on religions and spirituality. All these things are condemned by J. Krishnamurti. These followers of J. Krishnamurti praise J. Krishnamurti and do exactly opposite of what he taught. Why do they praise his teaching then?
There are few good things in his teaching. But to learn those person does not need to read Krishnamurti's rambling. For example he talks something like Vipassana. In that case I would suggest a person to read standard books on Vipassana, instead of Krishnamurti's rambling.
Best
