Re: Theos-World Covert Activities,

I think people overestimate the greed of the folks running the TS.  My  
feeling is that what they are doing is trying to justify the fact that they 
just  do not attract that many people any more.  The Three Objects are 
hopelessly  outdated, not in any sense of lacking validity, but in the sense that 
when  encountered people are more inclined to think, "Ok, that's nice.  Let's 
go  find something interesting."
 
And let us be honest, if someone were not already a Theosophist, reading  
some of the stuff on these lists would cure them of any inclination to be  
one.
 
We have gone from psuedo-sanskrit blather and people rehashing fights from  
over a hundred years ago to debating the vices real or illusory of the  
less-than-esteemed International President.
 
That is when someone isn't being paranoid about Jesuits...

You may be right. In the near term, many of those old folks dying may  be
bequeathing their estate to the TS so its coffers will swell so that  those
who control the treasury would have a good time spending the money  
believing
they are doing theosophical work.

I also have heard some  say that shrinking membership is indeed good for
leaders because it would  be easy to manage an organization with  smaller
membership.
