Theos-Talk Archives (April 1996 Message tl00670)

Dear TI members (and others who have joined the debate):

Following the request for a vote, and the warm welcome and further
feedback relating to Murray's comments, I am posting below a slightly
altered version which seeks to take his observations into account -
almost verbatim as suggested.  I also hope this may help others view TI
more favorably with a view to joining us :-) --- Alan.

THEOSOPHY INTERNATIONAL comprises men and women who, of their own
   free choice, subscribe to the spirit of the three objects first
   formulated by the Theosophical Society, but in a more up-to-date
   form based on suggestions by members of the internet community,
   and expressed thus:

1. To form a nucleus within the universal human family, without
   distinction of sex, sexual orientation, creed, class, or color.

2. To encourage and engage in the study of comparative religion,
   theosophy, philosophy, and the scientific method, according to
   individual ability and inclination.

3. To investigate mysteries of nature and unrealized human
   potential and abilities, with an underlying respect for all
   life.

THEOSOPHY INTERNATIONAL is a voluntary network, whereby it is
   sufficient to declare one's sympathy and/or allegiance to the
   three objects, and to be registered as having done so.  No
   belief system is required - nor assumed to be held - by any
   member.  All have the right to choose, without trace of
   coercion, the path by which they seek understanding.

There are no fees, no subscriptions, although voluntary donations
   and/or contributions could be made to specific projects or even
   individuals for particular and specified purposes.  As THEOSOPHY
   INTERNATIONAL does not have and does not need rules, whether
   anyone participates in or supports any such activity is an
   entirely personal matter.

We hope to be of service, and to share what we have in amity with
   other theosophical, occult, and esoteric organizations, as also
   with like-minded individuals.

To join, send an e-mail message asking to be registered to

TI@nellie2.demon.co.uk

or give your name and other details you wish to share to whoever
   introduced you to Theosophy International.

"TI" has members in eight countries.
