TSL/CUT Facts, incl. Montessori International

I study the Prophets and am a Summit Lighthouse and TSL historian. I welcome questions and can provide neutral guidance. I will look at the posting, and make additional edits. Briefly, "Montessori International" was, at the very least, a private school operated by Church Universal & Triumphant and/or its sister organization, The Summit Lighthouse, as a teaching center for Church children. I do not know whether the Prophets and their religious organizations founded "Montessori International" the foundation; however, they (CUT/TSL) did own and operate its own Montessori school. I believe it closed in the 1970s.

TSL/CUT Facts, incl. Montessori International

I study the Prophets and am a Summit Lighthouse and TSL historian. I welcome questions and can provide neutral guidance.

I will look at the posting, and make additional edits. I have seen CUT-related boards that have looked either vandalized or badly edited in the recent past and seek to preserve the display and promulgation of accurate information.

Responding to above: CUT/TSL is not an online store. While it does sell books, CDs, et cetera (as most orthodox religions do), it is a full-blown Church with a formal board, a centralized location in Montana, and 250 spiritual centers worldwide. It also operates Summit University Press.

Stating that Mrs. Prophet made a prophecy "that failed" is inaccurate. The media sensationalized certain statements she made against the political battles and saber-rattling between the Soviet Union and the US during the Cold War.

Self-published Autobiography?

It looks like the extensively cited In My Own Words is in fact a self-published autobiography by the subject of this article, right? Quite a lot of this material appears to violate Wikipedia guidelines about such sources (see also WP:USINGSPS and WP:PRIMARYCARE). If reliable and verifiable sources are not available this material should be removed, especially material making claims about third parties. Weedwhacker128 (talk) 03:27, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

THAT would separate the wheat from the chaff! But I'm afraid you wouldn't have enough left for a viable stub. This is an important subject from an historical perspective. Don't want to have it deleted entirely, do we? rags (talk) 06:01, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying the article can't be supported by verifiable sources? Weedwhacker128 (talk) 17:43, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
