Theos-Talk Archives (February 1998 Message tt00197)

In a message dated 98-02-17 21:49:19 EST, David Green quotes Neresheimer's
letter:

<< The Rajah [Judge] commenced to talk almost immediately through [Mrs
Tingley],
 suggesting to select the Outer-Head and the Council. >>

This letter confirms my suspicion that Madame Tingley used her trance
mediumship to manipulate and secure for herself the successorship of Judge's
TS in A. Apparently, there must have been many who accepted as authentic
Judge's "spirit communications" through the Purple Mother (Tingley) or Promise
as she was known then. In 1898, the TS in A was reduced to a "department" in
Tingley's Universal Brotherhood organization (p. 270 in Theos. Movem't:
1875-1950).
