LETS CLARIFY THINGS KATINKA


KATINKA STATES:

The Orlando lodge has been in a quarrel with the USA section of the TS Adyar for years now.

OUR  RESPONSE:

The Orlando Lodge has NOT been in a quarrel with the USA Section for years. We have quietly carried on a program of Quality Theosophical programs. We HAVE been Highly critical of Mrs. Blands deceptive
electioneering tactics in the past Presidential election.


KATINKA STATES:

They are representing this as a surprise, but they contacted me a few years ago - and I contacted Betty back then. I don't remember the details, but I do remember that their story made much less sense than Betty's. The fact that
they're playing as though this is a surprise is an indication that they're not being precisely fair and open.

OUR RESPONSE:

You can't remember Katinka, because we have NEVER contacted you. That is an outright LIE.At the time of the presidential election we posted a comment on your election website that is all. We have nothing to hide. The fact is that the TSA Board of Directors did NOT contact ANY of us. There was NO interview with our membership nor did they visit us. We have NOT violated ANY 
policies or T.S. Rules. 


KATINKA STATES:

I agree this kind of thing is sad. I'm sure Betty herself would agree to that as well. But I also know that the Orlando lodge had their chance and a LOT of time to clean things up. Apparently they didn't.
It's the sad job of the national section to get rid of lodges like that.

OUR RESPONSE:

You are basing your assumptions on the premise that there was "something to clean up" There was NOTHING to "clean up" and we had NO
prior warnings or knowledge of anything amiss. Your innuendos with comments like these are just the thing that starts the gossip and rumor mills.

KATINKA STATES:


BTW - even if I remembered the details, or bothered to look them up, I still don't think anything would be served by publishing them here. The only result would be for the members of that lodge to feel offended at being outed publicly.
It would take a private online forum for that kind of openness to be fair to all involved.

OUR RESPONSE:

We Challenge you Katinka to go ahead and "Look up your forgotten details." Because you don't have any from us. Lets see what you can fabricate. 

We are offended by the innuendos that you are promoting. We have NO
fear of "Being oouted" for anything
because we have NOTHING to be ashamed of. IF you want to make public statements about us however
you had better have solid evidence and documentation. We Challenge YOu Katinka. The National Board of Directors of TSA. has NO documentation of fabricated allegations against us.
 
Katinka we are surprised by your unbrotherly comments and innuendos
you have judged us guilty without knowing anything factual.

Fraternally;

William Delahunt;
Secretary,
Orlando Lodge
