Edna Ballard, | Edna Ballard, con frecuencia llamada Mama Ballard por sus estudiantes, utilizó el pseudónimo de '''Lotus Ray King'''. Pasó por tremendas tribulaciones y persecución durante su época como mensajera. En 1940, en Los Ángeles (el año después de la ascensión de Godfre), la Sra. Ballard, su hijo Donald y otros recibieron acusaciones criminales federales por supuestas solicitaciones fraudulentas de fondos realizadas por correo. A pesar de las rotundas objeciones por parte del abogado defensor, un jurado recibió la tarea de decidir si los Ballard realmente creían lo que enseñaban sobre su cargo de mensajeros y los maestros ascendidos. | ||
Over a period of six years, ''United States vs. Ballard'' went through two trials and an extended series of appeals, during which Mrs. Ballard was at one point convicted and sentenced to a year in prison and fined $8,000, although the prison sentence was later suspended. Soon thereafter, the Post Office Department issued an order denying use of the mail to the I AM Activity. In the face of adverse media coverage and extreme prejudice within the criminal justice system, Mrs. Ballard and her students fought on, and their efforts culminated in the U.S. Supreme Court throwing out the conviction in 1946. The written opinion from the case has often been cited in subsequent litigation to prohibit judicial inquiry into the truth or falsity of religious beliefs. | Over a period of six years, ''United States vs. Ballard'' went through two trials and an extended series of appeals, during which Mrs. Ballard was at one point convicted and sentenced to a year in prison and fined $8,000, although the prison sentence was later suspended.
