are now doing.
Why, dear Brethren, THAT is the VERY REASON for the GROWTH
God has given His Church these forty years. That would destroy the
very REASON for the Church.
Suppose we have local churches, all INDEPENDENT. We just
ABOLISH THE WORK! We CLOSE DOWN the AMBASSADOR COLLEGES! Each local
church, in time, could build its own local church building -- BUT
THE GOSPEL WOULD STOP GOING TO THE WORLD! The PLAIN TRUTH would
cease publication.
The TITHES, of course, would not come to Headquarters to be
used in the WORK! Where would they GO? To each local minister? What
will the minister do with the money?
4) Their FOURTH area of contention is their FALSE CLAIM of
MISallocation of funds.
Brethren, the living CHRIST is guiding His servants at
Headquarters in the allocation of funds. Would these individual
ministers allocate the money more wisely? Could THEY get the Gospel
to the WORLD?
What they REALLY advocate and will try to draw some of YOU
into, is simply THIS: DESTROY THE WORK OF GOD! Let the local flock
spend ALL its tithes on themselves, or, let the local minister
spend it all on HIMSELF, any way HE wishes to allocate it!
SURELY, dear Brethren, God's dear sheep are not stupid
enough to be "taken in" by disloyal, greedy, SELF-serving,
rebellious local ministers who are rebelling against GOD, trying to
engage in CHARACTER ASSASSINATION of myself and my son Garner Ted,
WHOM GOD HAS USED TO PRODUCE SUCH ABUNDANT FRUIT for the Kingdom of
God these forty some years!
Brethren, it has taken YEARS -- forty of them -- to BUILD
the Work of God where it has the resources, the equipment, the
facilities, the services, and the SPIRIT -- God's HOLY SPIRIT -- to
get GOD'S JOB DONE!
God is now starting to proclaim HIS END-TIME Message to the
GREAT-population nations -- to CHINA, INDIA, RUSSIA, Indonesia,
Japan, Bangladesh -- to mention the seven LARGEST nations (with the
United States). Also, in nations in Africa, in Europe, in South and
Central America!
Heads of State are ASKING for this Message. This mutiny by
two or more ministers in the field has caused me to fly instantly
back to Pasadena, and LEAVE the very FIRST great PUBLIC CAMPAIGN
that would have reached MANY THOUSANDS in Manila. But I told the
officials there, as General MacArthur did in World War II -- "I
SHALL RETURN!"
We have LOYAL ministers to follow up such campaigns. We
have The PLAIN TRUTH. The Bible Correspondence Course. The
COLLEGES.
