Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00315)

If the stories of the first meeting of Annie Besant and HPB are accurate, 
you appear to be in the camp of HPB, who instructed AB to go read the 
negative charges, and then if she still wanted to join the Society, it was 
up to her. As I understand it, you wish people to read both sides, while 
others want people to only read the good, and to destroy any negative 
material. Perhaps it is a cultural difference of opinion, for those who do 
not have English as their frist language? Are these practices different in 
different cultures, or in different countries?
