Notability
There is only one reference, the link is dead, and the website is a private organisation. Is this notable? Captain Abu Raed (talk) 14:36, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I can't find reference the Arnold Krumm Heller ever accepted within his orders the Law of Thelma. I only see him against it in any articles. Please provide source until source is provided, should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.10.77.186 (talk) 22:11, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Bias
A large number of the edits to this wiki thread are grossly biased. I think the page should be revised to account for it's blatantly strong anti-FRC and pro AMORC bias. One order prolifically advertises (and solicits) (AMORC) while Clymer's order is not only more humble but also more historically veritable. They have real documents and sources showing a lot of the history claimed as false by this page to be true, and even Pansophers (an unbiased peer review of RC societies) gives the FRC and Clymer a much higher rating on terms of traditional teachings and historical veritability. Whoever edited this clearly has bias and this wiki cannot currently be used as a helpful source for research. 71.72.213.146 (talk) 05:07, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
