Theos-Talk Archives (June 2009 Message tt00566)

Dear Mr. Ramadoss:  please consider the following, only consider it, yes?

Who were those three doctors you are always referring to? Do you know them?  The question is clear: were all of them they really objective? Like it or not, this is a legitimate question, it needs to be investigated,  before you can come to any type of conclusion. 

>From all that is available on the Net, again this is NOT a secret, we know for example that one of the doctors who stated that Mr. Radha Burnier was in perfect health, a long standing and highly regarded member of the TS,  is known as a passionate supporter of hers. Now, mind you, there is nothing wrong with passionately supporting the International President, but the question we should all ask ourselves is:  'was this medical doctor the ideal doctor to present an objective analyzes?' 

The two other doctors were Indian doctors, if am not mistaken. Here the question should be raised , IF there was any doubt regarding the President's health, who initiated these medical exams. If it was the President herself who requested them, which is likely, we need to know if these doctors had a professional or a personal relationship with her. How do we know, they were independent or not? This is crucial, again like it or not, because we need to know if those two exams were carried out, professionally,  objectively, and independently, yes? The reality is that we don't know if they really were independent, very simple.

Since this was such a hot topic,  from what I read last year, this problem could have been easily solved if the International President would have been examined by doctors who would have had NO link with either the TS or Mrs. Radha Burnier herself. 

Now, Mr. Ramadoss do not start screaming at once, just think about it, it would help you and me,   and all who are trying to discover the truth so much!

I am sorry, but I must also ask you to consider this: you do your 'secret attempt to disenfranchise members' act again. The secret plots against the International President etc. etc. Has it ever occured to you, that perhaps you could be wrong here? I have been reading this site since last year and I have browsed at Mr. Rozman's  site quite often, so this is what I have concluded:

A very unfortunate PROPOSAL,(I agree,  it wasn't good!) was sent to all members of the GC, yes? It was a proposal Mr. Ramadoss, and a proposal is always subject to a vote, correct? It is apparently not uncommon that members of the GC exchange ideas or proposals since this body only meets once per year. Sending a proposal to other GC members I cannot describe as being ultra secretive move, so here I must disagree with you. 

Suddenly, out of the blue this unfortunate proposal, remember we are talking about a PROPOSAL, appears on the Net,  here on theostalk. That is odd isn't it?  

Ask yourself: Who did this? Is it possible that this confidental message was intercepted by a third party,  and distributed by that same third party? Was it done to serve the cause we all stand for, or was it done to add to the confusion that already existed, putting oil on the fire perhaps...?? 

To avoid all this, in the future,  members of the GC must seriously consider to publically announce proposals for changes in the Rules and Regulations, in their magazines or on their sites for example, so that no misunderstanding or mishandling of this type of information can take place.

I am only asking you to think,  and to consider, to  find out for yourself.....

Roberta

ps. Will bring my laptop whilst travelling,  so hopefully I can visit this site once in a while!!
