Theos-Talk Archives (June 2009 Message tt00314)

IMHO, the key issues confronting TS today are (1) the cleavage in the
general council where the voting pattern in the last meeting indicates two
opposing camps and (2) the lack of growth and decline in member retention
and recruitment outside India,  and of course the backdrop of secrecy of
operation of the GC that is at the root cause of many of the problems faced
today.

All other issues were brought out only after Radha Burnier won the election
and the issues were raised by the camp of defeated candidate. Also look at
who are the ones who secretly proposed the disenfranchisement of members
world wide and GC to seize power to appoint the president. Until the above
two key issues are fixed, all other tinkering with rules etc are not going
to have any positive effect on TS and theosophy.
