Is then altered that vol. of the secret doctrine?? in medular basis,or

Seems that only in the USA the TS has been so divided, that one branch
does not recognize W.Q. Judge, and the other does'nt recognize Annie
Bessant and C.W.Leadbeater. Both directors of T.S. had been accused here
and in Theos-World of misleading because some errors that them had done.
However, as i see it, Both of them were good leaders of their respective
branches.
(My humble point from a mexican girl that does not understand not a
single thing in all this mess)
As i see it, Judge was not a victim, not also was a thyrant. only had
different point of focusing theosophy of the one of Ms. Bessant.
consider also the different social backgrounds of both, age, sex, etc.
Dallas, I believe you are right in the thing Blavatsky's writings have
been altered. I entered the website of the TS intl. headquarters
http://members.aol.com/tstec/hmpage/tsintro.htm
and did notice the differences in the objectives of the TS that Doss
noticed and telled us (I believe that was Ramadoss, is it?? :-) )
In the objectives, you can notice that it says 5 objectives, and the
FIRST ONE is
"to diffuse among men a knowledge of the laws inherent in the universe;"
And only the third one is the one that talks of brotherhood.
Even that in the aggregate link of "objectives" says the 3 real ones,
putting "brotherhood" in the first place, i thing it could be good
telling them that if they please could speccify correctly that
miswriting.
On the other hand, i don't think i have to write even this!! I not even
belong to the T.S.!!!
