Theos-Talk Archives (July 2009 Message tt00415)

Sometimes i wonder whether people in India are having easy access to the Internet?
And I guess some clairvoyants and telepaths put small value on computers and the Internet.

    But for the Internet, each one of us is intelligent enough to imagine where
  TS would be today. We do not need guidance from any scripture or Elders.

  A small group of GC members totally in control with all the members
  world-wide standing by totally powerless to do anything. And HPB & HSO
  crying and turning in their graves!

  Internet last year saved TS from disaster.

  Internet is indeed the Saviour many were expecting to come back.
