Theos-Talk Archives (November 2009 Message tt00211)

Good idea. Then they will start hiding even the meeting date, time and
place.

In due course, when the meeting is tumultous with disunity and possible
discord, soon you will learn about the discord and cleavage. All we need
some patience and frequent check on the inbox of our emails. What a pity
that TS has come to this!!!
