Dear Robert,
Does that mean Blavatsky showed Olcott one version of the pledge, but actually made members swear to the pledge, that made them follow Blavatsky?
I see many similarities between the Apostles' Creed and this pledge. Jesus in Apostles' Creed is replaced by the Outer Head of ES and church is replaced by the Theosophical movement (T.S.)
