Daniel, you said "In fact, soon after HPB's death, William Judge
and Annie Besant became joint Outer Heads of the E.S."

That means AB was Outer head of ES, whether sole head or joint head will have to be found. But Judge left organization after some time and Besant was Outer Head of Esoteric School for many decades later. And H.S. Olcott, the Founder-President of TS supported her and not Judge.

I don't understand why you are keen on finding faults in AB, CWL etc. All occultists including HPB openly said they sometimes made mistakes. It is wrong to constantly focus on their faults and making them look stupid in the eyes of members.

Anand,

of words in some other document.

==============================================

OK, Anand. I will take the quotes off, but the issue
still remains. Here's my statement again without quotes:


===================================================

But I am unaware of any document/evidence that shows
that HPB appointed Mrs. Besant as her successor in
Outer Headship of the Esoteric Section.

In fact, soon after HPB's death, William Judge
and Annie Besant became joint Outer Heads of the E.S.

=================================================

So how and when did HPB formally give charge of 
the Esoteric School to Annie Besant?
