Daniel, You gave your intellectual reasons for worshiping Blavatsky instead of true God. God is beyond all these intellectual reasons. That is why testimonies based on personal experiences of people speak contrary to what you believe. This message is also a reply to Adelaisy's message.

Well, I am puzzled about your statement that I worship Blavatsky.
What does that mean?

Furthermore, you are the one who considers both Leadbeater and Besant saints.  I do not consider Blavatsky a saint.

So one might say that it is you who worship Leadbeater and Besant.

As to the "true God", what God is that?  

Is the true god Vishnu?  Or Brahma?  Or Odin?  Or?????

What do you mean by TRUE God?  As opposed to false God???

I will address the personal experience angle in my next email.
