Theos-Talk Archives (April 2009 Message tt00431)

The failure of Theosophy in the West is more because of unwise actions of
members of the TS, and individuals related to Theosophy. Officers can guide TS
in right direction. But as they are democratically elected, they tend to fulfill
wishes of people, to some extent, even if they would have done things
differently, had they no pressure to fulfill wishes of people.
Some of the online individuals who did much damage to Theosophical movement are
these. Reed Carson, the owner of Blavatsky.net who made Theosophical movement
extremely dogmatic around Blavatsky's writing. Another individual who did much
damage to Theosophical movement is Katinka Hesselink, who spread wrong teaching
of J. Krishnamurti in Theosophical Society and thereby misled members of TS into
believing that J. Krishnamurti's teaching is Theosophy.
Third individual who did much damage to Theosophical movement is Daniel
Caldwell. He did damage by regularly attacking Adyar TS, it's leaders, past and
present, and their teachings.
These are some of the individuals who did much damage to Theosophical movement
by their online activities.
