Theos-Talk Archives (September 2012 Message tt00041)

Af few questions araises...

>From the below post  I read the following words:
"that Krishnamurti
was the World Teacher as the Society defined the role"

Did the absolutely non-secatarian - ans - freedom of thought organization named the Theosophical Society ever define Krishnammurti as the World Teacher?
When did that happen for the first time?

  "It is undeniable that the Theosophical Society saved Krishnamurti's life,
  prepared and nurtured his religious mind, and conditioned him as a modern
  man for a mission to serve humanity. What is deniable, and is the subject
  of this book, is that Krishnamurti destroyed the Society; that Krishnamurti
  was the World Teacher as the Society defined the role; and that
  Krishnamurti was a "biological freak."
