Having received proper legal advice herself, Janet realised that the TSE was acting outside its own rules, following the wrong procedure, and even breaking charitable law.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; font-family: inherit;">I begged the national president to change course before she split the section, a<span class="yiv3218497331text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">nd, by courtesy of the national secretary , all members of the national executive committee received a note from me warning that as a last resort the scandal would be made known on facebook.</span></p>
<div class="yiv3218497331text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><p style="margin-bottom: 6px; font-family: inherit;">After a meeting with P. an elected national officer, I was hopeful that a trained mediator could be brought in, and the sanctions against Janet dropped.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; font-family: inherit;">But days later a message sent to senior TSE members by the national president ( though not to Janet Lee, as her name had been removed) indicated that the trial would proceed, and that it would also involve 3 secret judges. The horror of this, in a society one of whose founders, H.P. Blavatsky, had fought against the Inquisition, was very great. The pain of it was felt most acutely by Janet Lee, but Theosophists generally will feel it.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; font-family: inherit;">The trial, for unbrotherliness, is now in progress.</p>
