Dear Supporter of The Stelle Group:

 

     The Stelle Group has been caught up in wrenching turmoil since early May of 1986 when its Board of Trustees in secret sessions pressured Richard Kieninger to resign his offices and cease to be involved in helping to decide the policy and programs that TSG should pursue henceforth. The Trustees have made allegations to the general membership which bring into serious question Richard’s character and mental health, and they have made available to Stelle insiders documents that raise grave concerns as to the truthfulness, validity, and credibility of Richard and THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER, casting doubt on the authenticity of Richard’s claims of authority from the Brotherhoods and his part in Their Work, and his predictions of future events. An information package, which may be read by Members only under controlled conditions, con­tains a confidential memorandum dated July 22, 1986, which reflects the concensus of the Trustees that they “question, doubt, and wonder about the valid­ity of any information Richard has to share.” We feel it is unethical and fraudulent for the Trustees to continue to distribute THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER when they personally doubt its validity and the credibility of its author and yet use the book as a tract to entice more people into TSG and to solicit donations from uninformed outsiders on the basis of the book’s message. The many outside donors like yourself are not being told the full truth. The story being given out by the Trustees is a public relations coverup which constitutes misrepresentation and is ethically indefensible and against good conscience.

 

     Richard’s role in the Brotherhoods’ Work is a principal message of THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER. His alleged Brotherhood—appointed role is either fact or fiction, making the book either true or false. If the book is untrue, TSG is operating a scam. If the book is true, the Trustees have jeopardized the Work of the Masters at the most critical time in history by separating TSG from its authorized Emissary, pressuring him out of his membership, further pressuring him to leave the area where the Work is to be implemented, and now pressuring him to relinquish control of the land the Brotherhoods directed him to pur­chase as the site of Philadelphia. Richard did not resign his offices or membership willingly, and he has been opposed to the current leaders and the direction in which they are taking the group. The Trustees are not presenting his side of the story. We feel in fairness you should hear it. For those of you who wish to learn Richard’s position, you may contact him at the following address: …

 

     The Stelle Group Trustees are either con artists or else they are unauth­orized usurpers of a divine plan for guiding mankind aright. The information gap between what has been alleged to insiders and what outside donors have been permitted to know is horrendous. When Richard was forced to resign from The Stelle Group and The Adelphi Organization by the Trustees on October 6, 1986, The Stelle Group severed its only link with the Brotherhoods’ Work within the Great Plan by dismissing Their Emissary. However, the Trustees continue to claim, implicitly and explicitly, to be carrying out the Great Plan as outlined in THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER. Any group which claims to be an official part of the Brotherhoods’ Work must cite an individual who serves as its direct link—an emissary or intermediary—to the Brothers in charge of that phase of the program. The Stelle Group Trustees have cited no such link and thus are falsely claiming to still be an official part of the Brotherhoods’ Work. It seems unfair to allow people who are unaware of the changes and conflicts within The Stelle Group to continue making donations to what they are being officially led to believe is still the same program as before. Members of the Stelle Group have at least been given information to decide whether to continue to support the group, and you should be entitled to the same opportunity if you are interested.

 

Most sincerely,

 

Stelle Members’ Committee for Truth
