Theosophy News Worldwide 4th Quarter 2014
Dear friends of Theosophy,
hopefully you got a good start into the new year, but before we go ahead, let's throw a glance backwards.
Beside the 139th anniversary celebration of the founding of TS on November 17, also the 139th annual Convention of TS Adyar occurred at the end of the year and in the video-section you'll find many videos of that event, which was also live-streamed through the web, well done!
Maybe because of the weather, in this quarter were written as many articles as never this year on theosophical websites. I for myself working on "Plasma-Cosmology", a very interesting field of science, that prove the theosophical cosmology, unbelievable but true!
Last but not least, with the theme of the quarter, more of awkwardness then importance, we have a look at a sometimes weird dispute within the TS Adyar. I named it "Justified criticism or a malicious feud?".
And now I wish you a healthy and happy new year and an interesting reading. So far...
with kind regards from Germany

THEME OF THE QUARTER:
Justified criticism or a malicious feud?
In this drama there are two main participants, on the one side, Dave Marsland and his Website Dave's Theosophy Newsboard with some subdomains, in some way supportet through the Yahoo Group "Theos Talk" and Manjeri K. Ramadoss within this group. Both, Mr. Ramadoss and Mr. Marsland, publishing critical Posts about TS Adyar since years, f.e. about irregularitys of the presditents Election, membership-cancellations,legal disputes, felled trees, a "cow issue" also here and so on with many messages to each issue, sometimes also reflected in important indian newspapers, f.e. see here for a legal disput in "The Times of India" or here for the "tree-issue" in "The Hindu".
As follows a few more posts from Mr. Marsland from this quarter and look here for an overview of the latest messages in Theo's Talk

"MKR IS OUT! The TS-Adyar is doing very well because we see that MKR, the internet troll from San Antonio Texas, with the international convention approaching has stepped up his activities vomiting one false accusation or insinuation after the other all over his bla-bla site. This grapevine moderator is breaking his own shameful record, but unmistakably proves that there is a lot of Light, because when there is Light, darkness also appears; it is an easy to understand Theosophical principle. As from January 01, 2015 MKR will be out! All relevant articles mentioning his name or site will be deleted from Theosophy Forward. Let’s put Theos talk out of its misery!"
I have to exclude myself completely from this drama. Should everyone make his own opinion about it. And so I will end this (at least) here, with a quote from Adolph Knigge (1752 - 1796), a german lawyer, civil servant and satirist, who said:
"The truth is always in the middle, and one man's speech is no man's speech, because both sides we must always listen."
