Especially from 1925 and from 1950 editions of "The
Theosophical Movement" -- which, by the way, is a great, a superb 
book.

>From this "...great...superb book", I quote the following telling 
passage:

=============================================================
The Theosophical "succession" of Mrs. Tingley thus becomes lost in a 
morass of psychic delusion, of claims and counter-claims.  If 
the "evidence" for it be accepted, Judge becomes a guileless psychic 
and a virtual "disciple" of Mrs. Tingley.  If the evidence is 
rejected, Mrs. Tingley becomes at best a self-deluded woman, at worst 
a charlatan, and so, also, her close supporters. . . . .
=============================================================

Quoted from the anonymous history written by the Editors of Theosophy 
Magazine and titled "The Theosophical Movement:  1875-1950" 
(Cunningham Press, 1951), p. 288.] 

Most ULT associates I have talked and corresponded with give this 
view of Mrs. Katherine Tingley.
